Senior Project Manager

The Studio

An independent branding and design studio with a reputation for delivering exceptionally refined work that is always ideas driven. Working with clients in the hospitality, F&B and lifestyle sectors, the team is made up of some truly talented designers and creatives, all collaborating and striving to produce work that makes a difference and has a strong impact. They have a strong commitment to providing an inclusive, authentic and socially responsible environment that, in turn, allows the team to thrive and deliver the best possible outcomes for their clients. They offer a hybrid working arrangement and plenty of additional benefits.

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to really help shape and deliver the end-to-end service for all studio projects. You’ll have the opportunity to build and maintain meaningful and positive relationships with both clients and the team around you, adapting your approach to the different types of projects and audiences when needed. You’ll have day to day management responsibilities across multiple projects and will need to work quickly, carefully and collaboratively to ensure that all deliverables are continuously met. You’ll own the resourcing for projects, with a sharp awareness of who is working on what, at all times, as well as upcoming resource needs. We’ll also need you to be confident managing the financial aspects of your projects, including billing and forecasting. Ultimately, you’ll be able to balance the day to day running of projects with the wider studio view and proposition.
