Project Manager

Help... I have an analyst on my account who is the project manager.... 2 years at firm.... but, often doesn't produce an agenda (making me scramble) and then on other calls doesn't take notes? Or share screen? She also schedules calls without asking resulting in time wasted and me asking "did you ask if this time worked for everyone?.... and she didnt ask... and they didn't accept either). We've already talked to her about her role - setting up calls, taking notes, etc. 😑🤯 wtf......

Role at a smaller shop is really asking for it all. I've been going back and forth with a recreuiter about a position at a smaller creative agency, when I've been in big media agencies my whole career. It falls within the realm of Project Manager but the job description is literally 30 bullets long that encompasses new biz, copywriting, account mgt, sales, strategy, creative direction, and finaly project mgt. I'm trying not to see this as a red flag, and more as an opportunity. Any thoughts?

Any insight or perspective would be greatly appreciated. TIA!
