Project Manager (Media)

We are pioneers at heart. What this means, is that we are always leaning forward, thinking of what we can create tomorrow that does not exist today. We were born digital and we are a new model of agency, with a deep skillset in tech and marketing. That’s why we hire curious, self-driven, talented people who never stop innovating.

Our culture is big enough to cope and small enough to care. Meaning, that with people across 20+ countries, we’re big enough to provide you with the best tools, global opportunities, and benefits that help you thrive. While acting small by investing in you, your growth, your team, and giving you the autonomy to solve our clients' problems, no matter where you are in the world. 

We’re looking for a Manager, Project Management with a performance marketing background and strong agency experience to join our Creative & Media division. You’ll be right at the heart of campaign execution - making sure paid media projects across social, search, and programmatic run smoothly, on time, and on budget.

This role is perfect for someone who’s confident managing fast-moving projects, loves collaborating with cross-functional teams, and thrives on bringing structure. You’ll partner closely with media strategists and channel experts to keep work flowing and clients happy - from kickoff to wrap-up. You’ll play a key role in managing our day-to-day work, keeping things moving, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. 

This role is ideal for someone with solid foundational project management skills who’s ready to step up - bringing more structure, ownership, and strategic thinking to the table. If you naturally spot blockers before they happen, keep teams aligned without breaking a sweat, and enjoy a good budget spreadsheet just as much as a creative brainstorm, you’ll fit right in.

• →Lead and own day-to-day project delivery across multiple performance marketing projects - spanning media planning & strategy, social advertising, programmatic, media and creative testing
• →Define clear requirements across media, creative, and strategy
• →Build timelines and coordinate deliverables using tools like Asana, Trello, or Jira, while making sure we stay within project scope / budget
• →Act as the glue between internal teams (media, creative, analytics) and external stakeholders
• →Support campaign & testing setup, approvals, QA processes, and performance check-ins
• →Proactively identify blockers, propose solutions, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks
• →Drive continuous improvement in how we work - from kickoff through reporting
• →Support testing roadmaps and structured end-to-end test planning, managing interdependencies between creative & media teams, launch & performance analysis
• →Own project financials – maintain budget overviews, support invoicing processes, and partner with our finance team to ensure accurate billing

• You have 2+ years of experience in an agency environment, ideally managing paid media or integrated marketing campaigns
• You understand digital performance marketing, especially paid social, search, and programmatic, and know what it takes to deliver successful campaigns
• You’re fluent in project management practices but flexible enough to adapt when things change
• You’re a strong communicator who builds trust with clients and motivates teams internally
• You’re organized, proactive, and calm under pressure -  juggling timelines and deliverables without losing sight of the big picture
• You have the ability to work independently and in a team environment
• You have the ability to prioritize and consistently handle multiple tasks across multiple clients and teams

• Have a passion for marketing and creative work
• Hands-on experience working with cross-functional marketing teams (media, analytics, creative)
• A passion for continuous learning and improving team workflows
