We’re looking for a Senior Project Manager who can confidently own high-impact projects from concept through delivery, while mentoring teams and shaping how work gets done. This isn’t just about timelines and budgets (although you’ll master those too)—it’s about leadership, influence, and driving outcomes that matter.

• Be the strategic partner
  Translate business goals into actionable plans, identify risks early, and lead problem-solving efforts with clarity and creativity.

• Optimise how work happens
  Improve workflows, champion best practices, and introduce new ideas that elevate how projects are delivered.

• Develop people and teams
  Mentor junior PMs, guide team performance, and help build a culture of accountability, growth, and operational excellence.

• Support new business growth
  Contribute to pitches and proposals by shaping plans, timelines, and delivery strategies that win work.

🎯 What Makes You a Great Fit

• 4–8+ years of project management experience in an agency or fast-paced environment
• Proven ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously without losing sight of details
• Strong understanding of integrated workflows across disciplines
• Experience managing large budgets ($5M–$10M+) and resource planning
• Confident in stakeholder and client-facing communication
• Comfortable leading cross-functional teams and influencing outcomes
• Skilled in forecasting, risk management, and problem-solving
• Passion for building strong teams and helping others grow

💡 Why You’ll Love This Role

• Ownership & impact — Lead meaningful work that drives results
• Leadership opportunity — Shape teams, mentor talent, and influence how work gets done
• Variety & scale — Manage diverse, high-visibility projects across multiple disciplines
• Growth mindset — Be part of a team that embraces continuous improvement and innovation

✅ What You Bring

• Exceptional organization, communication, and facilitation skills
• A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset
• Strong attention to detail balanced with big-picture thinking
• A “get it done” attitude with a passion for quality execution
