Your purpose:

Our team of Account and Project Managers are responsible for the delivery of multi-discipline projects ranging from working with local communities to create an engaging branded campaign that communicates proposed plans in their area, to a gamified e-learning experience for the Ministry of Defence.

You will oversee the planning, execution, and delivery of complex, high-impact creative projects. You will manage cross-functional teams, ensuring alignment with global marketing objectives, timelines, and budgets. This role demands a project manager with strong leadership skills, exceptional problem-solving abilities, and a deep understanding of creative workflows in a global context.

As we're a national team with offices and resources in multiple locations, you will need to be able to coordinate local and remote teams to deliver the best solution for our clients across multiple disciplines. This role will be based in our Birmingham office.

• Facilitate alignment between regional and global teams to ensure consistency and effectiveness.
• Drive the adoption of tools and technologies that improve collaboration and project tracking.
• Identify potential risks and develop mitigation plans to address them proactively.
• Monitor and report on project performance using KPIs and dashboards. Conduct post-project reviews to identify successes, lessons learned, and areas for improvement.
• Provide data-driven insights to inform future creative strategies. Brilliantly analytical, you'll pinpoint the success of campaigns- producing reports and presenting your findings.
• Always looking for improvement, you'll assess processes and make appropriate recommendations based on the data and information you gather.
• You'll support the co-ordination of our programmes of work, working with our Project Management team to maintain back-office systems (Monday.com), enabling effective planning, scheduling and monitoring of the work.
• Ensuring we're delivering high-quality that adds real added value.

• Experience of working in a high-demand, high pressure environment.
