From initial briefing to final delivery, you'll be the driving force behind planning, coordination, and execution, keeping teams, clients, and external partners aligned. You're highly organised, confident in your decisions, and always thinking one step ahead. You anticipate challenges, build structures where they're needed, and make sure things get done. With strong editorial skills and a hands-on mindset, you'll bring ambitious ideas to life while ensuring every detail is taken care of.

• Experience in project management, ideally within a creative or digital agency, automotive, or premium brand environment.
• Proven experience managing complex projects, content productions, and events from start to finish.
• Exceptional organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to build effective structures while managing multiple workstreams and priorities simultaneously.
• A confident, independent, and highly reliable working style, with a strong sense of ownership and accountability.
• Experience with project management tools such as Asana and collaborative workflows.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to work directly with clients and external partners.
• Excellent editorial skills and a solid understanding of digital communication, content, and community platforms.
