Mid-Weight Project Manager - 4 Week Contract
4-week contract | £300 per day | Outside IR35 | Fully remote
I'm looking for a Mid-Weight Project Manager to join a small, lean, independent creative agency for a 4-week contract.
It's an agency we've worked closely with the founder of for a number of years , so this is a lovely opportunity to join a trusted client and get stuck straight in.
The agency specialises in integrated campaigns and creative production , working across a mix of creative, digital and campaign activity.
There are no shoots taking place during this period , so this isn't a production-heavy role. It's about taking ownership, keeping projects on track, managing client requests and making sure nothing falls through the cracks .
The contract
The contract is structured around:
2.5 days of handover at the start , getting you fully up to speed on live projects, clients, timelines and priorities
3 weeks of hands-on project management , taking ownership and keeping everything moving
2.5 days of hand-back at the end , ensuring a smooth transition back to the usual team
So, you'll have plenty of time to get a proper understanding of everything before taking the reins, and equally importantly, a proper hand-back at the end.
What you'll be doing
Taking ownership of a number of live projects and keeping them moving
Managing project trackers, timelines, actions and status updates
Monitoring client inboxes and responding to requests
Managing day-to-day client communication and keeping stakeholders updated
Coordinating tasks, deadlines and deliverables across creative and production teams
Chasing feedback, approvals, assets and outstanding actions
Identifying potential issues or delays and flagging them early
Joining internal and client calls, taking actions and ensuring they're followed through
Helping prioritise work across the team and keeping everyone aligned
