Project Manager

The Role

• Manage multiple projects from brief through to final delivery.
• Take ownership of project timelines, budgets, scope and resource.
• Act as the main day-to-day contact for clients.
• Keep projects on track and flag potential issues before they become problems.
• Challenge unrealistic timelines, changing briefs and scope creep.
• Work closely with creative and wider agency teams to keep everyone aligned.
• Plan resource against the project pipeline.
• Source and manage freelancers when additional support is needed.
• Review existing processes and introduce better ways of working.
• Help shape and develop the project management function as the agency grows.

About You

• You'll have previous senior project management experience within an agency environment, ideally within a creative, brand, experiential, fashion or lifestyle setting.
• You'll be comfortable managing several projects at once, dealing directly with clients and working with budgets of up to £500k.
• You'll need to be organised, commercially aware and confident enough to push back when timelines, budgets or scope are at risk.
• You'll also be someone who naturally takes ownership. When things get busy, you stay calm, make decisions and keep things moving rather than waiting for someone else to step in.
• Experience with footwear, fashion, lifestyle or retail brands would be a bonus, as would PRINCE2, APM or PMP.
