Due to business growth, we are looking for an experienced Project Manager to join and strengthen our current team. You may currently be working client side or agency side at the moment, but that doesn’t matter, we need someone who can deal with complex fast moving marketing initiatives in both the traditional areas of graphic design, and more importantly in the digital world.

A natural ability to direct and lead others to ensure end to end project delivery, whilst managing all aspects of the production process will be imperative. You’ll have experience of working with people; that means briefing, estimating and efficiently managing internal and external studio and production resources.

Common sense, balanced with vision and initiative will help when working with brand, design and marketing; that, combined with excellent communication skills, will allow you to operate at all levels.

So in summary, what’s the role? Put simply, you’ll be dealing with our clients and the teams here to ultimately ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget! How? By efficient client production processes, strong commercial understanding and an appreciation of how we can help our clients bring their brands to market, through the most appropriate and cost-efficient client marketing channels.
