Crosby Firm - Operations & Project Manager - Remote Eligible

Client Project Manager

Lead client projects at a boutique branding studio, manage clients, freelancers, and timelines with confidence.

Up to $3,500/month | Full-time | Fully Remote | EST hours

I'm Victoria Crosby, founder of CROSBY. We're a small, senior team doing around $1M/year, partnering with start-up companies in New York and San Francisco to build brands people actually notice. We work with a vetted network of top freelancers who are plugged into what's current in design and culture.

I care about clean design, clear communication, and shipping great work without drama. Clients come to us for brand strategy, name discovery, brand identity, websites, and creativity that feels fresh and thoughtful. If you like a lean team, real ownership, and talking directly with clients to make things happen, you'll fit right in.

We're looking for a Client Project Manager. You're the steady, sharp, low-ego operator who keeps projects moving, communicates clearly with clients, and leads freelancers with confidence. You understand creative work, protect scope, and know how to say "this is out of scope" nicely (and get it approved).

What sets you apart: You're financially savvy and have the capacity to understand the bottom line and the know-how to drive it (training provided). You're also looking for an opportunity to grow. For the right person, this role offers the potential to develop into a leadership position, eventually managing the day-to-day operations of the firm.
