World class experiences for brands, leisure, and retail

Our mission? Creating value for brands through memorable experiences. With over 25 years in the game, we’ve created spaces for legends like the Heineken Experience, Tony’s Chocolonely, the Gouda Cheese Experience, and VodafoneZiggo. Our studio is on the verge of realizing some of the agencies most ambitious international projects in leisure, brand experience, and retail. These amazing challenges require sound project management throughout its entire execution. If you have extensive experience in managing international (build) projects, a sharp eye for detail, you love travelling abroad, and thrive within a fast-paced creative environment, this role is made for you. Let’s make magic together!

Are you up for the challenge?

The International Project Manager ensures the flawless execution of international creative projects. You’ll translate design into reality and create the conditions for smooth construction, production, and installation with the client, subcontractors, and experience builders. You’ll ensure that planning, budget, quality, and safety are monitored from distance and on-site, and that all parties involved know what’s expected of them. You’ll work closely with the Design Leads and serve as the link between the creative team, technology, suppliers, and the client. While the Design Lead focuses on art direction during this phase, you’ll focus on execution: tendering and contracting, production management, purchasing, logistics, assembly, and delivery. Together, you’ll be ultimately responsible for the high-quality and timely completion of the project and will be the representative of the agency on-site.

• You create accurate cost calculations for realization phases of our projects, with input from different suppliers.
• You identify risks and make timely adjustments in consultation with the creative and technical teams.
• You contribute to an efficient and safe working environment during production and installation.
• You ensure customer satisfaction throughout the project and are a point of contact for them within and outside office hours.

We expect you to be:

• Highly experienced in managing international projects (minimum of 5 years).
• Ambitious to work internationally for big brands in retail, brand experience and leisure.
• A team player, sparring partner, and self-starter.
• A sharp eye for detail, able to build clear project structures, form overviews etc.
• Fluent in English (Dutch and German is a plus).
• Educated or trained on a university level in project management.
• Skilled in project management software, such as MS Projects, Smartsheets or alike.
