VERY Hybrid - Min 2 days per MONTH

South London based (Brixton)

Working with clients such as Microsoft, Google etc and leading universities helping students get into work.

The Role

We are looking for a Project Manager to join a growing creative agency. You'll need to be organised, proactive, and a natural at building client relationships. You'll also need to care deeply about delivering exceptional results, with the ability to stay adaptable and creative when it comes to achieving success. We have a fantastic team already, and you'll be a great fit if you're comfortable working at pace and collaborating with people at different levels across the organisation.

People who thrive here are good at spotting opportunities to do things better, differently, or more efficiently. They're people who are comfortable giving and receiving feedback and who are kind to their co-workers. They use tools and technology in their day-to-day and can pick up new software quickly. And most importantly, they believe in their vision to empower every person to discover and succeed in their dream career.

Their Clients

Their clients are companies that provide early talent schemes, including apprenticeships, internships, and placements. They elevate their brands by delivering extraordinary campaigns to their student audience.

Core Responsibilities

You'll be at the heart of their client projects, ensuring smooth execution and exceptional results. This includes:

• Lead all communication with clients on mid-sized campaigns.
• Provide support to Account Directors and Senior Account Managers on large-scale campaigns.
• Create and manage detailed project plans in Notion, ensuring all projects stay on schedule.
• Lead internal project kick-off calls, schedule ongoing check-ins, and manage internal communication via Slack.
• Drive team accountability for deadlines and milestones, and ensure all project materials are organised and accessible.
• Monitor the completion of assigned actions, following up as needed to keep things moving.
• Maintain and verify pricing documents to ensure all projects are delivered within budget.
• Brief creative and copy teams, overseeing the delivery of final assets via Basecamp, Notion, or Google Drive.
• Lead end-of-campaign (EOC) wrap-ups and deliver comprehensive campaign reporting.

You'll play a key role in bringing their events to life, managing all aspects from start to finish:

• Develop comprehensive event project plans and draft detailed event tour schedules.
• Coordinate with universities and suppliers to ensure high-quality events.
• Prepare and manage essential event documentation, including risk assessments, PLI, and food hygiene certificates.
• Work with internal teams and clients to create all necessary event collateral (e.g., A-boards, exhibition stands, QR codes).
• Contribute to Brand Ambassador recruitment and communications as needed.

You are right for this role if...

• You have a minimum of 2 years of experience in a project management or marketing support role (agency experience a plus)
• You have an excellent understanding of the English (both spoken and written)
• You are detail-oriented with impressive organisational and time management skills.
• You are comfortable working across multiple workstreams with cross-functional teams.
• You are a clear communicator with the ability to coordinate between internal and external stakeholders.
• You are proactive, solution-oriented, and able to work independently.

Amazing (but not essential) if...

• You have working knowledge of project management tools (Notion, Basecamp, Slack, Google Workspace).
• You have experience with event planning or field marketing logistics.
• You have experience working within early careers.

Hybrid working

We have a hybrid work set-up, whereby you'll be expected to work from their office in Brixton every Tuesday, with more time encouraged. If you need more flexibility than this, please let us know.

Salary

Up to £35,000 per annum, depending on experience.
