Do you have proven experience in being part of a team delivering multi-million pound campaigns, working as part of a cross-agency team?

We are looking for a project manager to join an established team here in London who are pushing the boundaries of social media for a world-class music brand. The client is at the cutting edge of black music culture, so we need a project manager who is on the pulse of what matters to this audience.

You will need to be knowledgeable about UK R&B, Afro, Rap and Caribbean music, and you will have proven experience in managing content production, as a large amount of the social content we produce is video content.

We have an in-house production department who take care of the big shoots for us, but smaller content pieces, e.g. TikTok assets, are being produced by our creative departments, and we need our PMs to help plan the work, manage budgets, and ensure we deliver great quality work, whilst meeting deadlines.

Confident managing a variety of work streams intended for social platforms, incl. TikTok content, Insta/X/Snap work and campaign work. Solid understanding of what paid vs organic means from a production perspective, and what constitutes clever innovation work in a social space.
Finally, experience of scoping, planning and executing influencer projects is key for this role.

What Else Are We Looking For?

Strong financial understanding, ensuring we are delivering within budget and not over-delivering in comparison to the agreed scope of work. This includes weekly reconciliations and financial reporting to the Project Director.
Video production experience, for small to medium-sized shoots, including pre-production, production and relevant documentation.

Good with systems and resource booking/finance tools - our agency uses a selection of tools and as part of the PM team, you will be expected to learn how to use them well and stay on top of comms, bookings and planning via such tools daily.
