Project Manager

We’re looking for a Project Manager to join our team and make some excellent work. You’ll help us deliver brilliant creative across digital and ATL channels including TVC, OOH, CRM, Content, Social, Paid Media and Partnerships / Events for a global technology brand.

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.
