Role Purpose

We’re looking for a Project Manager to join our team and help make some excellent work. You’ll help us deliver brilliant content across digital channels for one of Britain’s most loved retail brands.

As a Project Manager, you will oversee projects from inception to execution. You will ensure the work is of the highest standard, fulfilling the brief, delivered on time and within budget.

In addition to this you will also support project finances, resource planning and capacity management - helping to ensure that your projects are resourced effectively, and capacity is managed for the varied roles within the content studio.

Our team delivers integrated content spanning paid media, social, website and app - so a love of digital is a must. You’ll be involved in creating and uploading digital content, experience of working on CMS platforms, and a good understanding of SEO best practice would therefore be advantageous.

• Helping solve issues that might block delivery and Qa’ing any work before final supply
• Work closely with the other PMs within the content team, to ensure the smooth running of the team’s schedule
• To assist with project-based documentation such as SOWs, cost estimates, timing plans and production schedules ensuring they follow agency process
• Act as the team support on projects, making sure that the creative team are aligned, and all project requests are actioned
