Job description

We’re looking for a brilliant Project Manager to join our Brand team on a 3-month fixed-term contract, starting in mid-October. You’ll work predominantly across campaigns, branding and employee experience, supporting the team to ensure projects are delivered brilliantly and consistently, to the requirements of the client brief, and always on time and on budget.

As a Brand Project Manager, you’ll bring strong project and programme management skills, with the ability to plan, manage and deliver complex work effectively. You’ll facilitate clear communication, and support the quality and profitability of our work to the highest standards. You’ll need to demonstrate this with evidence to be considered for the role.

Some of the responsibilities of the role include:

• Leading the delivery of small to medium sized projects, from scoping and estimation, through to production, QA and wash up and supporting senior-level project management in the delivery of larger, more complex programmes of work.
• Ensuring RY processes are followed and that projects are run on time, on budget and with crystal clear understanding of the brief.
• Building trusted relationships and managing expectations with clients, dealing with day-to-day requests and consistently delivering excellent service.
• Writing Statements of Work (SOW) and defining the assumptions, dependencies and deliverables within these, managing and documenting any changes as required.
• Understanding the commercial models agreed for each project and ensuring the project is delivered against them.
• Helping to produce regular reconciliations and proactively providing update reports to the client.
• Mitigating against risks and tracking issues, escalating concerns to senior-level project management before they become critical.
• Ensuring payment plans, billing, POs and client financial information are accurate and completed on time.
• Ensuring timesheets and resourcing are complete and actively managed, including resolving day to day issues.
• Leading project-related meetings, including reviews, statuses and wash-ups.
• Being able to define and redefine your priorities, to ensure the most crucial work is being done first.

• Previous project management experience, ideally gained within a creative or design agency
• Experience of working in brand, campaigns, and employee experience
• A well organised and a logical thinker
• An enthusiastic team player who relishes developing good working relationships with colleagues across different areas of the business
• An exceptional eye for detail, proactively flagging mistakes or when work goes off-brief
• Excellent written and verbal communication
• An excellent listener and interpreter of what is being said in meetings
• A nice person, with oodles of energy and infectious enthusiasm.
