Remote Operations & Project Management Associate for Consulting Company
About the role
A US-based fractional consulting firm operating across the consumer packaged goods space is looking for an Operations & Project Management Associate to turn the follow-ups from back-to-back client calls into clean, owned, deadline-bound work. The firm is a lean, three-person professional services team whose founding partners embed deeply with their clients and spend most of every day on live calls. The culture prioritizes trust, ownership, and long-term client relationships over process, and the team runs almost entirely on modern productivity and AI tools. Day-to-day, this role owns project management out of client meetings — capturing 15–30 action items per call, routing them, and driving them to completion in Asana — alongside recurring admin, end-to-end internal billing and payment tracking, and lower-complexity client-facing writing in the partner's voice. Success means the partners recover their evenings and weekends, with the lead partner's working hours measurably down.
