About The Role

This isn't your average 9-to-5. One day you could be managing the real-time delivery of dynamic graphics for a major football match and the next you're helping implement a brand-new system for a global news channel. You'll be the organisational engine driving our projects, working alongside our Service Delivery Director and the rest of the team to ensure high-profile projects are delivered on time and to the highest standard.

Who We’re Looking For

We're looking for a Project Manager with a positive attitude and strong organisational skills who thrives in a fast-paced environment. You're a great communicator who can manage projects from start to finish. You have experience with project management tools such as Asana or Jira and are familiar with agile methodologies. You have a keen eye for detail and a passion for continuous improvement.

What You'll Be Doing

• Work closely with our Engineering, Design and Client Services departments to manage the project lifecycle from initial briefing to final delivery.
• Collaborate with senior team members to develop and maintain project plans, timelines and deliverables.
• Communicate directly with clients, addressing any questions they have and proactively managing their issues and concerns.
• Communicate project status and updates to the team, escalating key information to senior stakeholders when needed.
• Proactively recommend and implement process improvements.

Why Join Dizplai?

Beyond the chance to work on truly exciting projects, you'll be joining a supportive team that values creativity and collaboration. We're not about micromanagement; we're about empowering our people to do their best work and make a real impact. If you're ready to jump in and help shape the future of live media, we want to hear from you.
