Content + Project Management Lead

Part-Time / Contract | Remote | East Coast Preferred | 10–20 Hours/Week | $50–$55/Hour

We’re a small, design-first creative agency looking for a somewhat unusual combination: someone who genuinely loves both content and project management.

This isn’t a content role with a little project coordination sprinkled in, and it isn’t a traditional PM role where you’re simply moving tasks around a board. We need someone who can actually run creative projects while also bringing a strong content brain to the work.

The Project Management Side

You’ll own projects from kickoff through delivery — building timelines, running client meetings, coordinating designers, developers and freelance partners, managing deliverables and approvals, watching hours, budgets and scope, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.

And we want to be transparent: this is an area of our agency that needs real ownership and improvement. We’ve had a few different people in this seat, but we haven’t yet found the person who has stepped in, looked critically at our tools, workflows and processes, and said, “Okay, I see what you’re trying to do. Let me make this better.”

We don’t want someone waiting for us to hand them the perfect process or tell them what to do next. We want someone who is excited to own this pillar of the agency — assess what’s working and what isn’t, clean things up, challenge us, introduce better systems, rip apart processes that aren’t serving us, and make the function their own.

You’ll work closely with our Operations lead, but this should feel like a partnership — not a role where you’re waiting for direction. We want to be able to bring you a challenge, client or project and trust that you’ll take it from there. Over time, our goal is for you to know this part of the business better than anyone else does.

The Content Side

You’ll also bring real content expertise to the table. Depending on the project, that could include:

• Website content strategy and copywriting
• Brand voice, messaging and positioning
• Editorial and thought leadership
• Case studies, interviews and storytelling
• Campaign messaging
• Email and newsletters
• Organic social content and strategy
• Editing and shaping content created by others

Sometimes you may write the work yourself. Other times, you may help shape the strategy, brief a freelance writer or specialist, and guide the work through completion.

The Client Side

You’ll be client-facing, too. We want someone who is warm, confident, curious and genuinely fun to work with — someone clients trust and enjoy talking to, but who is also comfortable keeping conversations focused, managing expectations, protecting scope and making sure decisions turn into action.

You Might Be a Great Fit If You...

• Have a background in content strategy, content marketing, copywriting, editorial or brand and meaningful hands-on project management experience.
• Genuinely enjoy organization, timelines, systems, process and keeping lots of moving pieces straight.
• Are comfortable owning client communication and leading meetings.
• Understand how creative work gets made and how to keep it moving without suffocating the creative process.
• Are a strong writer and editor with great instincts around voice, messaging and storytelling.
• Love technology and are curious about new tools, AI, automation and smarter ways of working.
• Have the confidence to say, “I’ve got it,” figure things out and come back with solutions.
• Like the idea of joining a small team where you can help mold the role and how we work, rather than simply stepping into a rigid existing system.

Agency experience is helpful, but it isn’t everything. You may have come through content marketing, editorial, integrated marketing, creative operations, agency project management — or a path we haven’t thought of yet.

The Details

This will begin as a part-time contract role, approximately 10–20 hours per week, at $50–$55/hour, with real opportunity for the role, responsibilities and hours to expand over time as we continue to grow. The role is remote, with East Coast candidates strongly preferred due to our team and client schedules.

Most importantly, you need to genuinely want both halves of this job. If you love content but merely tolerate project management, this probably isn’t the right fit. If building the project plan, getting everyone organized and across the finish line is weirdly as satisfying to you as getting the messaging right, we should probably talk.
