• Build and maintain detailed timing plans using project management tools.
• Ensure clear, consistent communication with clients and internal teams.
• Track project financials and ensure accurate reconciliation.

What You’ll Bring

• A natural ability to build strong relationships across teams.
• A proactive, solutions‑focused mindset with a "can‑do" attitude.
• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to switch between PM and resourcing tasks with ease.
• Strong written and verbal communication.
• Professionalism, discretion, and reliability.
• A positive, adaptable approach to change and growth.

Minimum Requirements

• Previous experience managing both projects and resourcing in a social, creative, production or marketing agency.
• Proven ability to juggle multiple tasks and respond to last‑minute requests.
• Solid project management experience, ideally with retail clients.
• Familiarity with project management platforms, Workfront experience is a plus.
• Experience handling freelancer timesheets, payroll, and IR35 legislation.
• Willingness to work onsite and flexibly as needed.

More than just a paycheck

• Three 'Time Well Taken' days throughout the year where we switch off collectively with our MWG UK partner agencies.
• A hybrid way of working.
• Access to on‑site massages, haircuts and manicures as well as cuddles from furry friends (we're a dog friendly office).
• Free onsite breakfast, snacks and drinks with regular 'Lounge Nights' in the office rooftop social space.
• Monthly agency get‑together focused around moments that matter.
• Lots of tools to help us grow from SPARK (our internal L&D platform) to LinkedIn Learning, as well as external partnerships with NABS and the IPA.
• Your birthday off - because who wants to work on their birthday?
• A Cycle to Work scheme and facilities including showers and hair styling appliances.
• Discounts with partners such as Eataly, Merlin and cinemas as well as access to independent financial advice.
