The Role:

We’re looking for a Creative Project Manager - Branding & Packaging who can lead from the middle, someone who understands both the creative brain and the business need. This role sits at the heart of the studio, owning projects end-to-end and ensuring momentum across teams and clients.

This isn’t about chasing creatives or pleasing clients. It’s about creating the conditions where great work can happen. You’ll translate strategy into action, define scope and schedules, and ensure what leaves the studio is as strong as what was envisioned.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end project planning and delivery from kickoff to final handover
• Translate strategy and creative briefs into clear scopes, timelines, and execution plans
• Lead internal kick-offs, manage reviews, and ensure next steps are always clear
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously while keeping deliverables on time, on budget, and on point
• Coordinate across design, strategy, content, and production teams to maintain momentum
• Act as the internal anchor for projects, ensuring clarity, accountability, and smooth collaboration
• Anticipate risks, flag issues early, and resolve problems quickly and decisively
• Maintain project documentation, timelines, and trackers using Asana and Google Sheets
• Keep momentum high through efficient timelines, clear plans, and well-structured team workflows
• Bring a point of view to projects by offering thoughtful recommendations, improving processes, and shaping how work is approached
• Flag risks early, course-correct when needed, and help teams navigate ambiguity with clarity
• Support leadership with clear status updates, dependencies, and progress reporting

Experience & Skills

• 3+ years of experience in project management, specifically within a design studio, branding agency, packaging environment, or advertising agency
• Strong understanding of creative processes and the ability to work closely with designers, strategists, content teams, and production partners
• Strong understanding of project scopes, budgets, timelines, dependencies, and resource planning
• Proficiency in Asana for project management and Excel/Google Sheets for scopes, timelines, trackers, and budgets; using Keynote for briefs, presentations, project updates, and reviews
• Highly organised with a near-zero inbox mindset and strong follow-through
• Comfortable working with ambiguity and able to bring structure without slowing down the creative process
• Curious and adaptable, with an openness to using AI tools extensively to improve workflows, documentation, communication, and overall project efficiency
