What we’re looking for…

• An efficiency mindset with a genuine passion for delivering stand‑out projects, campaigns, events, builds and brand experiences, backed by practical experience bringing live activations to life, and challenging the status quo to achieve exceptional results.

• Proven to be an exceptional client‑centric professional, so general client services and account management skills are essential to ensure the smooth and efficient planning and delivery of projects.

• The commitment to continue to grow, learn and develop.

• A relentless can‑do attitude and obsessively organised, with a drive to roll your sleeves up and get stuck in, from the day‑to‑day admin and detailed planning through to installation and live delivery.

• A proactive approach to exploring and applying AI to improve efficiency and quality, creating more time for client relationships and hands‑on delivery.

• A knowledge of On Trade and Off Trade channels and key touchpoints on both is preferred along with an insatiable desire to find and execute new and exciting ways to deliver experiences to our audiences.

• Experience with managing multiple complex projects simultaneously, keeping a firm grip on timelines, suppliers and deliverables.

• Practical experience using AI tools to support planning, reporting and project delivery.

• The ability and flexibility to apply your Project Management skills to a variety of exciting outputs and disciplines.

• A strong sense of resilience and independence – you’ll be happy being out and about either with your team or on your own – and happy working occasional longer days and the odd weekend when required (with TOIL being offered in exchange for this).

• Attributes like attention to detail, problem‑solving, lateral thinking, budget and time management, planning and reporting are your undisputed bedrock. The ability to communicate progress proactively, flag risks early and bring practical solutions when plans change.

• The ability to be an essential partner that can be relied upon to support, care for and help your clients in turn ensuring that Quantum is an irreplicable part of their team.
