Due to recent growth, we are looking to recruit a Digital Project Manager to join our growing in-house Creative Design team. The role will be based in our new central Birmingham office, as well as working from home, on a hybrid working basis.

You will be responsible for supporting the digital and project management functions within Creative Design. It’s a fantastic opportunity, in a team that’s bringing real added-value to their projects and clients. We’re currently a team of ten project managers and account managers based in Birmingham, Bristol, Warrington and Bangalore, part of a multi discipline team of over 80, including UX/UI designers, graphic designers, animators, visualisers, real-time and web developers – with plans to expand.

Within the Birmingham studio, you would be well supported by Account and Project Management colleagues.
