What is a Remote Project Manager 1099?

A Remote Project Manager 1099 is an independent contractor who oversees projects for organizations while working remotely, rather than as a full-time employee. The '1099' refers to the IRS tax form used in the United States for reporting payments made to independent contractors. These project managers are responsible for planning, executing, and closing projects, coordinating with teams and stakeholders online. Because they are contractors, they typically manage their own taxes and benefits, and may work for multiple clients at once.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Project Manager 1099, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Project Manager 1099, you need strong project management experience, organizational skills, and a proven ability to deliver projects independently, typically supported by a bachelor’s degree and relevant certifications like PMP. Familiarity with project management tools such as Asana, Trello, or Microsoft Project, as well as proficiency in virtual collaboration platforms, is essential. Exceptional communication, self-motivation, and adaptability are crucial soft skills for coordinating remote teams and stakeholders. These abilities enable efficient project execution, maintain stakeholder alignment, and ensure successful outcomes in a flexible, independent contractor environment.

The main difference between Remote Project Manager 1099 and Remote Project Coordinator 1099 lies in responsibility level and required experience. Project Managers oversee entire projects, handle client communication, and require certifications like PMP. Coordinators support project managers, focusing on task tracking and coordination. Both roles are freelance, but Project Managers typically command higher rates and have more strategic responsibilities.

How does working as a Remote Project Manager on a 1099 contract typically impact collaboration with clients and team members?

As a Remote Project Manager operating under a 1099 contract, you'll often work with a variety of clients and distributed teams, which requires excellent communication and proactive collaboration. Since you're not an employee, you'll need to establish clear expectations, maintain regular check-ins, and use digital project management tools to stay connected. Building trust and rapport remotely can be challenging, but leveraging video meetings, shared workspaces, and transparent reporting helps ensure everyone stays aligned. Flexibility and self-motivation are key to successfully managing projects and relationships in this independent contractor role.

Project Manager (6 Month Contract)
A division of Harris; Systems & Software - Winooski, VT/Remote

S&S's single focus is on delivering horizontally and vertically scalable customer service solutions to the utility industry. Our reputation is one of market-leading software, exceptional solution delivery, and a customer-focused organization.


For a utility, a Customer Information System (CIS) is more than just a collection of records, it's a lifeline between the utility and its most important asset, its customers. From turn-on to move-out, no other system will have the impact on the customer experience that the CIS does, so ensuring that this solution offers the breadth of scope and responsiveness that modern consumers require is a critical priority. Through our flagship product, enQuesta, S&S meets this need for our electric, water, sewer and gas customers by combining an intuitive design with powerful technology. The enQuesta solution not only presents a modern, innovative face for the utility to the end customers, but also enables the utilities to take advantage of the solution's open architecture when developing future programs and initiatives.


This remote role welcomes candidates anywhere in Canada and the US. This opportunity can be performed remotely or from our office in Winooski, VT. Travel, depending on the project(s) could be as high as 75%.

  • Provide clear communication and regular updates on project progress to the PMO Manager and project teams.

2. Process Support & Standardization:

  • Assist the PMO Manager in maintaining project management documentation and processes to ensure consistency across projects.

  • Ensure compliance with project management practices and help identify areas for administrative efficiency.

3. Stakeholder Communication:

  • Maintain consistent communication with internal teams, including R&D, Sales, and Delivery, to ensure alignment on project tasks.

4. Financial Tracking & Reporting:

  • Assist in monitoring project budgets, ensuring expenses are tracked against financial goals.
  • Track and report on project status, timelines, and financials, generating regular status reports for the PMO Manager.
  • Collaborate with finance teams to verify financial data aligns with forecasts.

5. Performance Monitoring:

  • Track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as project delivery timelines and budget variance.
  • Assist in analyzing project execution data to contribute ideas for enhancing team efficiency.
  • Support the PMO Manager in preparing project status updates and gathering data for issue escalation.
  • Participate in client-facing discussions, documenting meeting minutes and action items to ensure customer satisfaction.

What we are looking for:

  • 1-3 years of experience in project management or a related role, preferably within software implementations or technical environments.
  • Experience in managing project budgets ranging from $10k to over $2.5M.
  • Familiarity with project management tools such as Jira, Spira, Confluence, SharePoint, and Clarizen.
  • Basic understanding of Waterfall project management; exposure to Agile methodologies is a plus.
  • Experience tracking project financials or budgets is preferred.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with team members and customers.
  • Ability to work collaboratively and manage tasks with guidance.
  • Strong problem-solving abilities with a focus on learning and delivering results.
  • Experience working in a team-oriented environment, collaborating with cross-functional groups such as Sales, R&D, and Delivery.
  • Detail-oriented with a strong focus on organization and process.
  • Position may require travel as high as 75% in North America without restriction.
  • Frequent communication through Teams, phone calls, and email to stay connected with remote teams and leadership.
