We are looking for a Senior Project Manager to join our global team on a 6-month fixed-term contract with an immediate start.
As a trusted delivery leader and key figurehead for our studio's project management and client services offering, you will step straight in to lead a broad range of complex, integrated creative projects—from 3D built environments and experiential spaces to brand campaigns and digital content.

- Team Mentorship & Culture - serve as a recognized figurehead for delivery excellence—setting precedents for the project management team, shaping studio-wide processes, and providing clear direction and mentorship to Project Managers and Coordinators.
- Cross-Discipline Collaboration - partner closely with creative, strategy, and production teams across built environment, print, and digital formats. Articulate team thinking persuasively and actively champion our B-Corp commitments by threading principles of sustainable and responsible practice through every project.

- Financial & Operational Acumen - exceptional budget management, project scoping, and resource planning capabilities, alongside proficiency with modern PM tools and software.
- Leadership & Influence - a confident, articulate communication style with a proven track record of managing senior stakeholders and motivating multidisciplinary teams.
- Commercial & Mindset Rigour - a commercial mindset that balances creative ambition with financial and timeline constraints, paired with composure under pressure.
- Values Alignment - a strong commitment to sustainability, ethical business practices, and social impact within a creative delivery environment.
How We Support You
