- Manage external partners including production companies, photographers, directors, creators, editors and specialist suppliers, ensuring clear accountability throughout.
- Lead project planning and pre-production, including timelines, schedules, scopes, meetings, logistics, documentation, approvals and delivery requirements.
- Review budgets, estimates and supplier costs, maintaining financial oversight and identifying potential changes, efficiencies or risks early.
- Ensure all client and campaign requirements are accounted for, including brand guidelines, usage, rights, clearances, specifications, formats, territories and localisation.
- Oversee shoots and content creation, ensuring clients, internal teams and external partners are fully prepared and agreed plans are followed.
- Manage feedback, approvals and amends, maintaining momentum and ensuring clear communication between all parties.
- Oversee post-production and final delivery, ensuring assets are quality checked, correctly versioned, approved and supplied to the required specifications.
- Anticipate and manage risks, dependencies and changing requirements, resolving issues before they impact timing, budget or quality.
- Work closely with account, creative and strategy teams to ensure creative ambition is supported by a robust, realistic and efficient delivery plan.
- Maintain a strong understanding of evolving content platforms, formats, partners and ways of working, helping clients navigate increasingly complex content requirements.
- Create a consistently well-managed client experience bringing clarity, rigour and reassurance while ensuring projects are delivered on time, within scope and budget, and to the highest possible standard.

- Excellent judgement and attention to detail, with an instinct for anticipating what needs to happen next and identifying potential gaps before they become problems.
- A client-first mindset, with the ability to simplify complexity, provide reassurance and make demanding projects feel well controlled.
- Strong commercial awareness and confidence working with budgets, scopes, estimates and external supplier costs.
- Excellent stakeholder management skills and the confidence to work with senior clients, internal teams, creative talent and specialist external partners.
- A calm, solutions-focused approach, particularly when navigating competing priorities, changing requirements or challenging timelines.
- The ability to see both the bigger picture and the detail understanding the creative ambition while ensuring the practical requirements needed to deliver it are covered.
- Excellent written, verbal and presentation skills, with the ability to communicate clearly, concisely and confidently.
- An expert understanding of social, digital and content platforms, formats and evolving audience behaviours.
- A strong understanding of industry-standard content and creative workflows, with confidence using PowerPoint, Excel and relevant project management tools.
