The Project Manager (PM) at PHOS is often the “face of PHOS” for many clients. They are the first person to be introduced post-sale and the consistent voice that a client hears from throughout a project. You might say that PHOS’s Project Manager is the most skilled person in communication and attention to detail on our team
The Project Manager is a leader in client relationships. They position PHOS as a partner, communicating frequently, clearly, and with a balance between listening and leading. They will have intimate knowledge of each client’s organization, goals, and timelines. Our clients should view the Project Manager as a trusted advisor.
The Project Manager is also a leader in meetings. They are the first to arrive and the most prepared at every meeting. They create clarity when there is none and know how to draw out the right information to create the most productive next steps. They practice exemplary communication and project management so that the client consistently feels that they are taken care of and nothing is falling through the cracks. They are willing to say hard things to clients to ensure that they and our team can always be moving forward.
Finally, the Project Manager is respected by all team members because they communicate with such warm competence. They establish trust with others through their character, their chemistry, their competence, and their credibility. They do what they say they will do and are not afraid to hold someone’s feet to the fire to make them better. Because they care so deeply about people, they ensure their team has what is necessary to complete their jobs. They advocate for their personal and professional flourishing, and they actively cultivate environments in which our team members can truly flourish.
The key performance indicators (KPIs) of the Project Manager revolve around four core metric areas:
Project Quality: Every project launched by PHOS should live up to PHOS’ standards for quality and excellence. The PM is responsible for ensuring a project launches with zero errors and on time.
- Client Satisfaction: Our goal is to deliver as much value as we can to every client we serve while maintaining a healthy margin for the sake of our mission. The Project Manager is relentless in identifying and delivering opportunities to demonstrate our value and expertise to clients. They track client feedback surveys to help identify areas where improvements can be made to keep clients happy and engaged.
- Project Profitability: To ensure we are generating positive returns for every client we serve, the Project Manager is tracking profitability per project. They generate and review Toggl reports to identify areas of inefficiency and adjust processes to be so.
- Team Health: The PM has a lot of influence on the team. They are responsible for allocating resources and should ensure the team maintains healthy work rhythms and feels equipped to complete any task assigned to them.

We currently operate in a hybrid work schedule, coming physically into the office two days per week and working completely remotely three days per week. We’re looking for someone in or around Gainesville, FL, who has the flexibility to come in for client meetings and team activities.
Our dedication to diversity and inclusion is grounded in our mission to be a place that team members never want to leave and to exemplify the love of Jesus Christ.

We in no way discriminate on the basis of race, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity for purposes of employment opportunities, continued employment, employee benefits, job security, or promotion. Doing so would violate our reason for existing. We want you here.
