This integrated agency in Cheshire is looking for an experience project manager to work on one of it’s key accounts, which is a retail/FMCG client. Working mainly on print campaigns rather than digital, although they also have a pure digital project management need (not tech digital), for a similar length contract.

If you are a SAM or AD that has done a lot of PM delivery within your role, then they will consider that too, but this agency split out account management from project management, so this role is focussing on the delivery and project management of campaigns.

About You:

You have experience of working as a Project Manager within a creative agency, with strong delivery skills and are able to work on a fast paced, high volume account.

The ideal candidate will be responsible for planning, coordinating, and implementing projects within the decided-upon budget, timeline, and scope. You will also effectively monitor and present project updates to relevant stakeholders, clients, or project team members.

Responsibilities

Ideal experience across print (brochures, leaflets etc)

Experience working on a retail account is desirable, but not essential

Track budgets, resourcing and project status, escalating issues where required.

Facilitate meetings, manage actions and ensure clear communication across stakeholders.

Support operational excellence and help deliver projects to agreed timing, scope and quality standards.

Would require direct client communication
