Project Manager

Jump to content

Join an award-winning agency where every project makes the world better. You'll lead exceptional teams doing work that matters.

Overview

You'll manage projects from kick-off to launch, working with our award-winning designers, developers and strategists to deliver transformative digital platforms for organisations making the world better. You'll be the glue that holds everything together, the guide who keeps everyone on track, and the confident voice our clients trust.

Your qualities

01

Confident communicator

You're articulate and personable, able to explain complex ideas clearly to both technical teams and non-technical stakeholders. You speak up in meetings, share your opinions constructively, and build genuine relationships with clients and colleagues. You're the kind of person people turn to when they need clarity, because you have the confidence and gravitas to guide conversations and decisions.

02

Problem-solver with initiative

When faced with a complex challenge, you don't wait for someone else to fix it. You grasp the full scope of the problem, think strategically about solutions, and take ownership. You connect the dots between competing priorities, technical constraints, and client needs, then lead your team through to resolution.

03

Natural leader

You guide and inspire the people around you. Whether it's a junior developer, a seasoned designer, or a nervous client stakeholder, you bring out the best in people by being supportive, clear, and decisive. You create an environment where teams can do brilliant work.
 

04

Organised and diligent

You're the person who knows what's happening across multiple projects at any given moment. You plan ahead, keep things up to date, and pay attention to the details that matter. Your thoroughness means nothing falls through the cracks.

05

Resilient under pressure

Complex digital projects inevitably have challenging moments. You stay calm, confront difficult situations head-on, and work through them methodically. You don't panic, you don't give up, and you help your team stay steady when things get tough.

06

Genuinely engaged

You're fascinated by the work we do and curious about how we do it.

You want to understand the technical side, appreciate good design, and care about the impact our work has on the world. Your engagement deepens your understanding and makes you better at your job.

Professional certification in project management, Agile, Scrum, or PRINCE2.

Experience working with mission-driven organisations (charities, museums, universities, public sector).

Bonus round

These skills aren't essential, but they will help you stand out.
