Program Manager | Ops Director — PMO & Execution Overview I'm the person founders and executives bring in when they know exactly where the business needs to go, but need someone to actually drive it there — chasing follow-ups, unblocking teams, and turning strategy into finished work without needing to be managed every step of the way. What I bring: Over a decade of program and operations leadership across aviation, enterprise technology, and public-sector consulting — including directing a $10M+ merger-integration program across two airline carriers (15 project managers, 32 concurrent workstreams) and delivering a 2-year systems implementation that drove an 80% improvement in operational efficiency. I currently serve as the operational backbone for a growing consulting agency, owning the full client portfolio, executive reporting, and stakeholder communication — the person the CEO relies on to know the status of every initiative without having to ask. How I work: ▸ I own the tracker, not just my piece of it — every initiative, every day, moving toward "done" ▸ I chase without being asked — following up, surfacing blockers, and fixing them before they cost time ▸ I turn scattered meetings and Slack threads into real systems: SOPs, RAID logs, RACI models, playbooks people actually use ▸ I run daily or weekly check-ins with clear recaps: what moved, what's stuck, what I need from you ▸ I run hiring processes end-to-end when needed — sourcing, screening, coordinating interviews Where I add the most value: Program & portfolio management • PMO design and governance • Operations/Chief-of-Staff support • Team and vendor coordination • Process and SOP design • QA/data validation • Stakeholder and executive communications • Hiring and onboarding systems I hold a PMP® and CSM® certification and I'm a Smartsheet Certified Expert. I'm also the founder of my own consulting practice, IT Ops Excellence Consulting, LLC, so I bring an owner's mindset to every engagement, not just a task-list mentality. If you need someone who turns "here's the goal" into "here's what's done," let's talk.

Project manager hiring guide

A project manager coordinates teams, manages timelines, and ensures projects are delivered on time and within budget. They work across industries — including software and product development, construction, and content creation — to keep complex initiatives on track. From Agile software development to enterprise-wide transformations, experienced project managers can adapt their approach to match your project's unique needs.

What does a project manager do?

A project manager plans, executes, and closes projects while coordinating resources, managing teams, and maintaining stakeholder communication. They ensure that project objectives are met on time and within budget by aligning project scope with broader business goals.

Project managers work in a variety of methodologies, such as Agile, Scrum, or Waterfall, to guide initiatives through their life cycle. Their role involves identifying and mitigating risks, managing change, and removing blockers that prevent teams from executing efficiently.

They often work alongside product managers and program managers to match project goals with broader business objectives. Experienced project managers oversee a wide range of initiatives, including software development, construction, product launches, and marketing campaigns.

How to hire a project manager on Upwork

Upwork makes it easy to find, vet, hire, and collaborate with project managers of all skills levels and from all over the world. You only need to follow these four simple steps.

Step 1: Post a job

A well-crafted job post serves as your first filter, helping qualified project managers find your project as they search for work. In your post:

  • Use a descriptive title like “IT project manager needed for ongoing workflows”
  • Outline specific responsibilities, deliverables, success metrics, team size, and expected timeline
  • Identify required certifications (PMP, CAPM), state the planned project methodology (Agile, Scrum, Waterfall), and desired tools (Asana, Trello)
  • Specify the industry experience needed

To create a tailored job post quickly, try the Job Post Generator powered by Uma™, Upwork’s Mindful AI. Describe what you need in a few sentences, and Uma will craft a job post in seconds. You can also review job description templates and examples for inspiration, or check out the project manager job description template as a starting example.

Step 2: Evaluate candidates

As proposals come in, you’ll want to evaluate them in a way that is thorough and efficient. Look for candidates who show both technical qualifications and demonstrated results from past projects similar to yours. 

  • Have Uma give instant video interviews and side-by-side comparisons
  • Use Upwork’s filters to find candidates by rate, location, and experience
  • Review proposals for signs that the candidate has understood your job post and has the skills to meet your needs
  • Review portfolios and past project examples to verify relevant industry experience
  • Look for proficiency with your preferred project management methodologies and tools

Step 3: Interview your top choices

A quick video interview gives you the chance to ask any questions you have left for your top choices, and to get a feel for what a collaboration with them might be like.

  • Schedule and conduct interviews within Upwork messaging to get instant transcripts and summaries from Uma
  • Have the candidate walk you through a piece from their portfolio, focusing on how the candidate’s technical competency helped meet the client’s goals
  • Present scenario-based questions to assess risk management, decision-making skills, and conflict resolution approaches
  • Discuss their specific experience with methodologies like Agile or Scrum

Review project manager interview questions for ideas on the kinds of questions to ask during interviews. You can also refer to common interview questions if you’re unfamiliar with interviewing freelancers. 

Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work

Once you’ve found the right person, you can send a contract directly through the Upwork marketplace. A solid contract protects both parties and helps collaborations be successful from beginning to end.

  • Use Upwork's contract workroom, messaging, and payment protection for secure collaboration
  • Choose fixed-price contracts for projects with clear deliverables, such the development of a single project plan
  • Separate complex projects into clear milestones, such as creating milestones for the different phases of a product’s developement
  • Choose hourly contracts for ongoing work or projects without clear deliverables, such as ongoing support for a team over months and across many projects
