We’re on the lookout for a brilliant midweight Project Manager. If you have some good digital agency experience with both campaign and website build experience and you’re quick, communicative and organised then this could be the role for you.

We need a strong midweight Project Manager to manage a large campaign for an exciting client, ranging from the build of a website, to video production, social assets and other campaign deliverables such as banners and emails.

You’ll need to be really organised and have fantastic communication skills, hold a high degree of responsibility, with the diplomacy to build relationships and manage external and internal stakeholders whilst keeping projects on track.
