Description

About the role This is a freelance opportunity for a senior hybrid operator to join us as the vital link between our clients and our creative and production teams. We are looking for someone who can turn a brief into a fully realised project, and keep it on track from strategy through to delivery. This isn't a traditional Account Management role. You'll get to dig into the details of every brief, becoming a genuine expert on each project, while thriving on variety. This role requires you to run multiple projects, timelines, budgets, and teams in parallel, and enjoy the momentum that comes with it. We're after a true slashie: part Account Manager, part Project Manager, with working knowledge of Post Production. You'll move fluidly between strategic thinking on new briefs and the hands-on execution of multi-deliverable campaigns, primarily for our largest B2B client. Project work spans digital campaigns, large-scale event content, and video production — from social-first design and animation through to anthem films and high-volume keynote content for US events. At A Glance Employment Type: Freelance Engagement Dates: August - October 2026 Day Rate: Negotiable - please provide your day rate with your application.

Project Management Lead cross-functional teams through the planning, execution, and delivery of campaign, retail, digital, brand activation, and creative production projects. Help staff up teams during busy periods and tight deadlines, ensuring the right people are in place to deliver. Solve problems creatively, balancing outstanding client support with uncompromising quality. Financial Management Oversee project budgets, retainers, and forecasts to maintain profitability and cost-effectiveness. Manage invoicing, budget reconciliation, and freelancer timesheets and payments. Business Development Partner with the business development team to craft compelling proposals and pitches for prospective clients. Spot new growth opportunities across existing accounts, identifying ways to expand our footprint across core disciplines.
