Untapped Talent.

Project management pro looking to support a thought leader? I've found one.

A highly skilled project and operations manager with 15+ years of experience has been supporting a thought leadership practice for the past 6 months and is now ready to take on an additional client.

If you're a thought leader who needs solid operational support but doesn't want to train someone from scratch on project management fundamentals, this could be the perfect match.

Why they're worth talking to

This operations specialist brings transferable skills that thought leadership practices need:

• Exceptional organization and time management abilities

• Experience managing complex projects from concept to completion • Strong data analysis and reporting skills • A consultative approach that ensures stakeholder needs are met • The ability to quickly learn new platforms and systems (a self-described tech problem-solver)

They've already been applying these skills in a thought leadership context for the past 6 months, while bringing valuable prior experience from government, healthcare, and commercial sectors. Their background includes managing multi-million dollar project portfolios, developing governance structures, and consistently delivering results under pressure.

I know many of you are looking for someone with both project management foundations AND thought leadership experience. This person brings both - the operational discipline from their extensive career plus six months of direct experience in a thought leadership practice.

What they're looking for

They want to partner with an established thought leader as their second client. Having already gained valuable experience in the thought leadership space, they're ready to: • Apply their refined project management skills to your practice • Help organize and implement your ideas • Create systems that support your growth • Manage the operational side while you focus on content creation

They offer two flexible arrangements: • A project-based relationship (20-25 hours/week between now and September) • OR an ongoing part-time arrangement (~15 hours/week continuing past September)

They work remotely from Wellington, NZ (or potentially hybrid). Their rate starts at NZ$50 per hour, reflecting their extensive project management experience and thought leadership knowledge.
