ABOUT THE ROLE

As Senior Project Manager you'll bring clarity, structure and unstoppable momentum to every stage—ensuring projects are scoped, planned, resourced and delivered on time, on budget, and at the highest standard. You’ll be the anchor of delivery, the one who sees around corners, spots the risks before they land, and keeps everyone firing in the same direction.

Working side by side with our Senior Client Managers, you’ll craft a seamless client experience that’s as slick as the creative we produce—because outstanding work doesn’t happen by chance, it happens because you make it happen.

This is a fast-paced, problem-solving, no-two-days-the-same role in a team that values energy, urgency and excellence. If you thrive on action and love seeing great ideas come to life through flawless execution, this is your chance to lead from the centre.
