Looking for a calm, organized part-time Project Manager to help a small spiritual education business actually FINISH the work that's already in motion.
About us: I run two spiritually-grounded businesses (Awakened Academy and Awakened Meditation) under Liberated Life LLC. We've certified over 1,250 coaches in 25+ countries since 2011. The work is good. The systems are messy.
The problem: I have a long list of projects, half-finished books, funnels in motion, and sales assets being built. New ideas keep getting added before old ones ship. We have a small team. What we don't have is the discipline to keep things moving and finish them.
THE WORK — TWO PARTS
Part 1 — Cleanup (one-time, upfront)
Take our consolidated project list and put it into one project management tool (we're moving from ClickUp to Asana — keeping it simple)
Set up a clean, sustainable structure with clear owners and deadlines
Surface what's stuck. Kill what's dead.
Part 2 — Ongoing (every month after)
Daily-ish check-ins with me and the team — very short async messages: "How's X going? Did Y ship? What's blocking Z?"
Update the project tool yourself when things move — that's the whole point of having you
Run a weekly 20-minute accountability call with me and the team (we have a simple format - just a few questions to keep us on track)
Calculate commissions for sales people once per month (takes about 15 mins) and send totals.
Track commitments, deadlines, and deliverables
Flag drift, scope creep, and projects that have been "almost done" for months
Some light operational tasks where they fit (organizing materials, simple SOPs, basic CRM cleanup)
PART 3 — TRACKING & INSIGHT
Track Dan's sales call metrics (number of calls, conversion rate, revenue per call)
Track email performance (open rates, click rates, replies)
Track key business numbers (revenue, leads, course enrollments)
Build simple weekly summary reports — no fancy dashboards, just clear numbers
Flag trends: what's working, what's not, what we should try
Bring suggestions to the weekly call — not just status, but insight
WHO THIS IS FOR
You're probably a fit if:
You've managed projects in a small creative, coaching, or consulting business before
You're calm, grounded, and don't take things personally
You can hold loving accountability without being preachy or pushy
You see chaos and feel a quiet pull to organize it
You're spiritually open, or at least comfortable with the language
You ship things. You don't just talk about them.
You're probably not a fit if:
You need a 40-hour-a-week role
You think more tools equals more clarity
You expect to be managed (you'll be the one doing the managing)
THE DEAL
Budget: $200/month for the ongoing Part 2 work
Part 1 cleanup is a one-time engagement — tell us what it would cost in your proposal
Remote, async-friendly. Any timezone with some overlap with US Mountain Time
