A growing creative agency is looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager to take ownership of project delivery across exciting brand experiences, activations and campaigns within the fashion and lifestyle space.
You'll be managing multiple projects at once, working with budgets ranging from £20k to £500k, while keeping clients, creative teams, timelines and budgets moving in the right direction.
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.
This is a great opportunity for an experienced Project Manager to step into a key role within a growing creative agency, have real influence over how projects are delivered and build something of their own, with a genuine opportunity for the role to become permanent.
