As a Project Manager, you will be a key member of the Ad Studio, guiding projects from conception to completion in line with best practices.
What you will be doing:
Delivering projects on-time, within scope and within budget, ensuring resource availability and allocation
Developing project scopes and objectives, involving all relevant stakeholders and ensuring technical feasibility

A self-starter — you thrive working in small, collaborative teams with a lot of autonomy
A structured planner — you know that early is on time and on time is late, and your calendar organization would make Marie Kondo jealous
A proactive go-getter — you take ownership and are accountable for all you do, with the initiative to learn new skills on the fly
