What are the responsibilities and job description for the Client Project Manager position at Gorin Systems?
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.
