About Gorin Systems

Gorin Systems is an AI-first software agency that builds web and mobile applications for mission-driven organizations — Jewish nonprofits, publishers, e-commerce companies, and SaaS startups. We're looking for a Client Project Manager who is equal parts relationship builder and developer: someone who can lead a client meeting with confidence, then review a technical spec with genuine understanding.

The Role

You are the single trusted point of contact for each assigned client. You own the relationship end-to-end — leading meetings, capturing requirements, managing scope and budget, performing QA, and presenting completed work. You co-manage projects alongside a Technical Project Manager (TPM) who owns the technical execution.

This is not a relay role. You are expected to understand the product technically, write plain-English specs developers can build from, and use AI tools (Claude, Linear MCP) as force multipliers in your daily workflow.

Responsibilities

• Client Relationship: Single point of contact. Respond within 1 business day. Translate tech into business language. No surprises.
• Meeting Leadership: Prep agendas, lead client calls, capture action items, hand off Linear tasks with plain-English outlines within 2 hours.
• Issue Management: Every client request from any channel makes it into Linear. Use Claude + MCP to search, draft, and maintain the board.
• Spec Review: Write requirement outlines; review TPM technical specs to confirm they match client intent before dev begins.
• QA: User-level review of all completed work before the client sees it. Record Loom walkthroughs.
• Scope & Budget: Monitor hours against approved budgets, get client approval before exceeding scope.
• Daily Triage: Morning scan of all client channels. Acknowledge urgently, capture everything into Linear.

Minimum Qualifications

• Computer Science degree or equivalent technical degree, or bootcamp
• Able to build basic web and/or mobile applications using modern frameworks (React, Next.js, React Native, or similar)
• Strong English communication skills (verbal and written)
• Detail-oriented, critical thinker, quick learner
• Available during core hours: 9 AM – 1 PM EST
• Willing to start part-time, with the possibility of a full-time position

Preferred

• 1+ year of hands-on software development work experience
• Basic Hebrew reading comprehension (many projects involve Hebrew content)
• Experience managing multiple client relationships or projects simultaneously
• Previous agency or consulting experience

Compensation & Structure

• Contractor to start
• Part-time (~20 hrs/week), with the possibility of full-time based on performance
• Fully remote — must be available during 9 AM – 1 PM EST core hours

Why Gorin Systems?

• AI-first agency: Work at the cutting edge of AI-assisted development.
• Meaningful projects: Software for great organizations making a real impact.
• Growth path: Start with a few clients and grow your portfolio and compensation.
• Continuous learning: Weekly team sessions on AI developments and best practices.
• Developer-first culture: You're a technical professional who happens to be client-facing — not a glorified secretary.
