We are fully invested in your whole-person wellbeing and the tools needed to do the best work of your career. This is a team empowered by limitless possibilities.

## About the Role

We’re looking for a passionate project management professional to join the Creative Testing (CT) programme within MFG for one of our largest clients. You are proactive and highly organised, and you understand the importance of seeing the larger programme vision while still being able to manage what’s going on in the weeds of assigned projects. You are always looking for new ways to be efficient and contribute to process improvement.   As a Project Manager, you'll collaborate with internal disciplines and external vendors to deliver client projects that impact brand performance. This role also supports global programmes, so you'll be driving collaboration and coordinating work and delivery across multiple time zones. This is a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing, dynamic marketing agency that is already doing cutting-edge work for exceptional clients.

The ideal candidate has experience in operations and project management, preferably with a media, advertising or technology focus. You'll have a positive attitude, proactively identify challenges, see solutions and risks clearly, and are not afraid to address them promptly. You'll gain the trust of both the project team and the client, and be proactive and detail-oriented. You'll also be comfortable setting up and running meetings. In addition to defining / driving  the project schedule, you must understand and track project dependencies within the wider client campaigns, and therefore be able to successfully execute delivery across all projects.

Some of the things we’d like you to do:

- Be a passionate champion of project management processes, while also embracing the adoption of AI.
- Identify, track, and help mitigate risks, and support the timely resolution of issues.
- Ensure the active maintenance of project documentation, including detailed schedules and communications.
- Clearly communicate project status, risks, and next steps to internal and external stakeholders.
- Support the refinement of processes and ways of working to ensure the team operates as efficiently as possible in a constantly evolving environment.
- Schedule and facilitate effective project meetings, ensuring each one has a clear purpose and agenda, stays on track, and has timely follow-ups.
- Positively influence accountability across team members.
- Facilitate stakeholder conversations to ensure decisions are made and projects progress, while promptly escalating and monitoring risks..
- Assist with resource tracking and work prioritisation in collaboration with Team Lead and key stakeholders.

A bit about yourself:

- Project management experience in media, advertising and/or technology, with a track record of applying modern PM methodologies to different types of projects.
- You have experience coordinating multiple projects within fast-moving, multi-agency global teams.
- You can collaborate closely with and support your team for success, building trust along the way.
- You can focus on priorities and calmly navigate shifting priorities and support a team to meet deadlines and deliver results.
- You have great interpersonal and organisational skills, and you don’t take yourself too seriously.
- You practice open, candid and honest communications that are empathetic and constructive.
- PM and Agile certification is a plus, but not mandatory. Familiarity with tools like Jira and Wrike are also beneficial.
