Project Manager

💼 Job Title: Project Manager – Pharma Advertising Agency

📍 Location: Remote - Irvine, CA

⏰ Work Hours: WEST Coast Hours

📄 Duration: 12 months – Possible extension

⚠️Important Work Model Disclosure (Must Read):

This is a project-based contractor role. A 40-hour work week is not guaranteed.

**Topic to be vetted prior to interview - A 40-hour work week is never guaranteed as a contractor. The expectation is that once the employee is fully up to speed, the workload will equate to an approximate 40-hour work week. This can change at any time. Workloads ebb and flow — Projects are put on hold, have no activity while in MLR Review, no activity while with a development partner, etc. Again, a 40-hour work week is never guaranteed.**

Once fully ramped up, workload generally averages close to 40 hours per week but may fluctuate depending on active projects, MLR review cycles, and development timelines. Some weeks may be lighter (20–25 hours), while others may be heavier (30–40 hours). Flexibility is required.

• Strong agency experience is critical and will be a primary screening factor.
• Candidates must be comfortable following structured agency processes and workflows.
• Workload will fluctuate based on project activity; flexibility is required.
• Open to candidates located anywhere in the continental U.S. who can work the required time-zone hours.
