Role Description

The Project Manager role would suit someone who has hands-on experience working in a marketing agency and directly with end clients. Working in relatively small units, the Project Manager will be an integral part of the team. There may be situations where the focus on delivery overrides strict adherence to existing processes and we need someone who can rise to the challenge of delivering excellent quality, within deadlines which can be tight. We see this as an opportunity to “rapid prototype” process improvements, flexing the way we work in real-time, and learning from the outcomes, rather than an opportunity to abandon the process! As a continuing objective, we need someone who processes and is efficiency-focused and who can keep the team true to continuous improvement, both in how we produce output and the quality of the work we deliver. We currently work within a framework inspired by, but not in strict adherence to Agile, to ensure we maintain the cadence of planning and reviews and the efficient use of the resource.

• Create and maintain project schedules, risk plans, communication plans, etc. that accurately reflect the scope of work but also consider client expectations and business objectives,

• Identify, evaluate, and manage external partners as required to supplement internal skills or resource gaps,
• Able to work effectively and manage multi-disciplined teams across different locations and time zones,
• Builds respectful, strong working relationships with internal teams, partners/vendors and client,
• Own the delivery process from beginning to end with an eye toward iterating improvements and delivery quality,
• In case of ad-hoc issues be able to change and manage the development team’s priorities to ensure that the issue is fixed within a defined timeframe.

Skills and Experience:

• Minimum of 2-4 years of experience required
• Existing Project Management experience in an agency environment, on digital products with some level of technical development,
• Experience managing complex deliveries/rollouts across multiple platform tenants,
