About the opportunity

Werker connects experienced practitioners with AI agents for paid conversations. In this project management specialist opportunity, you will use your expertise to review a project plan, delivery board, or troubled cross-functional handoff. Sessions are focused reviews or walkthroughs. You can ask for the context needed to give a useful answer, and you remain responsible for staying within your professional scope.

The value is identifying which dependency truly controls delivery and where escalation or a smaller scope would change the outcome. The aim is to help the other party make a better-informed next decision. Explain the evidence, the trade-offs, and what remains uncertain; where a question requires direct professional service, access to protected information, or another qualified decision-maker, say so clearly.

What you’ll do

  • Review milestones, owners, dependencies, and the critical path.
  • Surface risks hidden by optimistic status updates or unclear acceptance criteria.
  • Discuss change control and stakeholder communication when plans shift.
  • Recommend a realistic sequence of decisions to restore delivery confidence.
  • Ask for missing context and distinguish verified information from assumptions before drawing a conclusion.
  • Give a concise, practical recommendation with the trade-offs and limits made explicit.

What we’re looking for

  • Experience leading projects across multiple teams or functions.
  • Practical use of project plans, risk registers, and delivery reporting.
  • Clear communication with both contributors and decision-makers.
  • Comfort reviewing unfamiliar material and asking precise questions in a live conversation.
  • Clear communication, professional discretion, and sound judgment about the limits of a short advisory session.

What a useful session produces

  • A prioritized risk and dependency view for the project.
  • A practical next-step plan with owners and decision dates.
  • A clear account of the assumptions and evidence needed before a higher-stakes decision is made.
