Must haves

You might be mid-level in a big agency and looking to flex your PM muscles in a smaller agency and own more of the process overall or wanting to play a hands-on role in the shaping of the PM process for example. The main focus of the role is to manage the website design and development projects and work alongside delivery and account management to do so in a small but highly productive Client Services team.

Collaborate with designers and developers to ensure timelines and allocations are accurate
Creatively solve problems
Work closely with a small Client Services team to deliver project work collaboratively
Conduct quality control on the projects that you manage
Set and manage clear boundaries in projects
Manage project timelines and budgets

What you would bring to the team:

Desire to create work that has a positive impact on people and planet
A ‘people person’ who loves getting to know the team and clients
Confident decision maker who isn’t afraid to hear other people opinions
A strategic thinker who can see solutions to problems with clarity
Attention to detail – particularly in a project scoping capacity
Excellent collaborator that can adapt to client and team situations

Experience you have:

Experience in agency working environment – remote would be advantageous but not a deal breaker
Experience managing web design and development projects end to end, including management of people, time and budgets
Experience using the WordPress CMS
Team player – able to capitalise on fellow team members skills

Nice to haves

Non-essentials but would be great:

Experience in agency working environment
Pitching experience
Understanding of Waterfall working

Job type

Permanent / Full time / Remote

The day to day breakdown of the role can be roughly divided into the following areas of focus.

30% – Managing project teams and studio resource
30% – Scoping, budget allocation and project defining
20% – Project administration, tracking and process development
20% – Additional client facing (pitches, presentations, troubleshooting etc…)

We really value the input of our team and recognise that you are a specialist at what you do and so it’s important that you feel comfortable and empowered to bring your voice and experience to the studio. Of course the team and senior leadership team will support you in every way they can but you will be the one who is responsible to deliver your projects within the budget and so we encourage reviewing processes and structures to enable everyone in the studio to bring their best skills to the table.

We are looking for responses and CV’s to be sent to jack@studiorepublic.com in the first instance.
