You’ll be joining our project management team, who are all PRINCE2 qualified (but don’t worry if you aren’t) and working in a creative digital media studio environment (building large websites), working for a very diverse range of interesting and demanding clients.

We are looking for a very, very organised person with great written and verbal communication skills. You must love writing  to-do lists and making sure everything gets ticked off on time. You’ll be in daily contact with our clients and working closely with our consultants, designers and developers, making sure projects run smoothly, get finished on time and within budget.

If you have any previous project management experience, that’ll be good too, although definitely not necessary.
