At Radley Yeldar, we are made up of more than 200 specialist reporting, brand and digital strategists, creatives, filmmakers, UX designers, developers, employee engagement experts and sustainability gurus. Project management sits at the heart of everything we do. It’s integral to ensuring we produce the very best work for our clients and helping to achieve our vision ‘to create a world that believes in business’.

We're on the lookout for Project Managers who are keen to join our team and to develop in their project management career, while helping to ensure that all projects are delivered brilliantly and consistently, on brief, on time and on budget.

As a Reporting Project Manager, you embody collaboration and competence in all areas of project and programme management. You are an expert in planning, managing and implementing complex work, whilst building positive team cultures, facilitating communication, and managing the quality and profitability of our work to the highest standards.

• Building trusted relationships and managing expectations with clients, dealing with day-to-day requests and consistently delivering excellent service
• Coordinating teams of 5-10 people, collaborating with Strategic, Creative, Production, Digital and Film teams as required, as well as internal Workflow, Finance and Business Development teams, building strong relationships and ensuring everyone understands their role and what is expected of them
• Writing Statements of Work and defining the assumptions, dependencies, and deliverables within these, managing and documenting any changes as required
• Ensuring RY processes are followed and delivered with a crystal-clear understanding of the brief
• Assessing client, team, methodology, timing, budget and quality related risks, and identifying and implementing smart solutions
• Managing all project communications, meetings and workshops, preparing agendas and meeting minutes
• Leading project-related meetings, including reviews, statuses and wash-ups
• Producing regular status reports and reconciliations for each client
• Mitigating against risks and tracking issues, escalating concerns to client management colleagues and senior-level project management before they become critical
• Ensuring timesheets and resourcing are accurate and actively managed, including resolving day-to-day issues
• Understanding the commercial parameters agreed for each project and ensuring the project is delivered against them
• Maintaining robust project financial governance – ensuring that payment plans, billing, POs and client financial information is accurate and up to date

• A solid PM with previous project management experience, ideally gained within a creative or design agency
• Experience of working within stakeholder engagement and annual report production
• Experience of work management platforms, such as Wdesk and CtrlPrint, would be advantageous
• A well organised and a logical thinker
• An enthusiastic team player, who relishes developing good working relationships with colleagues across different areas of the business
• An exceptional eye for detail, proactively flagging mistakes or when work goes off-brief
• Excellent written and verbal communication
• An excellent listener and interpreter of what is being said in meetings
• A good balance of IQ and EQ, someone who is believable and a ‘safe pair of hands’
• A nice person, with oodles of energy and infectious enthusiasm
• Some experience/knowledge of sustainability and digital will be beneficial

This is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of our award-winning independent, creative agency, with limitless opportunities to work with some of the world’s most innovative and interesting companies.
