JOB OVERVIEW

Project Systems Manager — ---------- Specialist
Location: Southern Oregon/Remote
Job Type: Hourly Contractor (1099)
Salary: DOE
About Us
Maple Creative is a design and marketing studio providing a range of services to help small to medium
sized businesses grow, using a unique approach where we partner closely with our clients on an ongoing
basis to become an integral part of their business. We manage a roster of ongoing retainer clients, and
---------- is the system that keeps that work organized, tracked, and on budget.
Job Overview
We're looking for a Project Systems Manager to take over day-to-day management of ----------
from our current operations lead. This isn't a role where you'll be learning ---------- on the job —
we need someone who already knows the platform inside and out, can step in and run it well from day
one, and can look at how we're currently using it and tell us what we're missing. You'll own project setup,
time tracking accuracy, and retainer/budget reporting across our client roster, and you'll be the person
who proactively suggests workflow changes to help us get more out of the platform, not just someone
executing tasks as assigned.
Responsibilities
---------- Ownership
• Own day-to-day management of ---------- across all retainer client projects.
• Set up and maintain project structures, task lists, and workflows for each client.
• Monitor time tracking to ensure accurate logging against each client's retainer hour threshold.
• Own the Beyond Scope tracking process — separating in-scope hours from hours beyond a client's
monthly threshold.
• Maintain reporting/dashboards for retainer usage and Beyond Scope hours by client and project.
Workflow Optimization
• Audit our current use of ---------- and identify underused features, redundant steps, or
inefficiencies.
• Propose and implement improvements — automations, templates, custom fields, tagging structure —
to get more value from the platform.
• Document new processes and train the team on any changes you roll out.
Project Coordination
• Ensure tasks, deadlines, and deliverables across client projects are tracked and current.
• Coordinate with tea ---------- mbers to ensure task completion, and flag anything falling behind schedule
or budget.
• Serve as the team's point person for ---------- questions and troubleshooting.
Transition & Handoff
• Work directly with our current operations lead during a transition period to take over existing
---------- responsibilities.
• Document the current setup and processes as part of the handoff.
Qualifications
Experience
• Required: hands-on, fluent experience managing real client or team projects inside ----------
— not general project management experience, specifically ---------- . Please include 2-3
references who can speak directly to your work in the platform.
• To show that you've read the entire job description, please include the words “Create Growth” in your
subject line.
• Experience managing retainer-based or agency client work is a plus.
• Experience with time tracking and budget/hour-threshold management for client billing is a plus.
Skills
---------- : deep working knowledge of projects, task lists, time tracking, budgets, custom
fields, templates, reporting, and automations.
• Strong organizational skills and comfort documenting processes clearly.
• Able to audit an existing system and proactively propose improvements, rather than waiting to be told
what's broken.
• Strong written communication skills.
• Proficient in Slack and Google Workspace.
Attributes
• Proactive and detail-oriented — you notice inefficiencies and fix them without being asked.
• High level of discretion and confidentiality with client data.
• Comfortable working independently and owning a system end to end.
Benefits
• Flexible schedule

Please send your resume, a cover letter that answers the 4 questions belowwith

and any workflow improvements you've implemented.
3. What's one thing about ---------- that most users don't know how to use well, but should?
