Job Description

At DH London we have a fantastic opportunity for a creative and strategically-minded, financially savvy, and flexible Senior Project Manager to join our growing agency team. You’ll have the opportunity to have real impact – to shape project governance and ways of working, and deliver projects in the most efficient and impactful way, while ensuring project team members and outputs are aligned to our higher ambitions. In the role you’ll also learn and grow, through the work and also through collaboration with the CS team and PM leaders around you.

  • As Senior Project Manager with Digitas Health, you will be a key figure within the project team and have oversight from initial briefings and scoping through to concepting and final delivery, all the while acting as the connective tissue between the various teams.
  • You will have experience of the full project lifecycle ranging from client brief through strategy, creative, design, copywriting, asset creation, production, execution and delivery
  • You will be expected to feed into project proposals, create scopes, track and monitor against your timelines, pivoting when necessary; report on financial health including any risk around scope creep; flag project risks and opportunities as soon as they arise; be the voice of reason within the team and aid decisions based on weighing up all available options. Ultimately you will be accountable for the successful delivery of project scopes, ensuring we are delivering on time and on budget.
  • The role will encompass a range of digital projects (from digital campaigns to app development and build projects to digital strategy workstreams), and will require you to interact and influence across strategy, creative, client service and third party build teams. 
  • Our clients demand a high degree of agility from our team, and your ability to plan and yet flex to changing parameters is key (and if you’ve had formal agile training, even better!)

Qualifications

  • You should be comfortable delivering against all of the competencies outlined above
  • You will have at least 3-5 years experience in project management within an agency environment
  • You will have an interest in working within healthcare - we’ll expect to see genuine enthusiasm for what we do here; if you have experience, that’s great too!
  • You have the ability to manage a wide range of projects with a focus on quality, budgets timings and efficient process
  • You will have experience of the full project lifecycle ranging from client brief through strategy, creative, design, copywriting, asset creation, production, execution and delivery
  • You will have exceptional communication skills and be a logical, confident ‘voice’
  • You should have relationship management experience and ability to interact efficiently with various stakeholders at all organisational levels; you also have strong EQ and are good at understanding how to get people on board with what needs to get done
  • You should have strong attention to detail and an ability to influence and listen
  • You should have strong commercial acumen and ability to translate that into scoping & resource planning
  • You will have the ability to choose the correct communication method for the situation and use it to build relationships across all levels of the organisation
