Job description

We're excited to be working exclusively with The Creative Copywriter to help them find their next Project Manager.


You'll need to be detailed orientated and organised, not to mention cool, calm and collected under pressure when dealing with several different projects and stakeholders at the same time. Nothing falls through the cracks on your watch! 'Problem solving' should be your middle name, and you'll live and breathe project processes. You'll also be able to work independently, taking 100% responsibility and accountability for your own workload.
Last, and by no means least, communication is key in this role. Whether you're sending the
first draft over to a client or sending some tricky feedback to a freelancer, if you have the gift of the gab (or your fingers can dance across those keys like magic!), step right up.

In return, you'll get a great package, flexible working hours, lead on the company's client projects and work with a super supportive, fun loving team of people. You'll also get to work with/for some leading global brands such as Adidas, Hyundai, Thomson Reuters, Superdrug and Geox.

They're looking for someone to own their client projects, charm clients (and freelancers) silly and lead the way on ensuring projects run smoothly and nothing falls by the wayside.
