THE ROLE

We are looking for a Project Manager to join our team! You will work across key accounts, while being responsible for transforming high-level visions into actionable, efficient project plans. You serve as the primary bridge between client expectations and internal execution, ensuring that every milestone is met with precision and every budget is managed with rigorous oversight. 

WE ARE 

A creative agency powered by social connections. That means we thrive on what’s trending and creating campaigns that get people buzzing. We call it “Ideas Worth Talking About,” and we've proud to have played a part in some of the most culturally relevant campaigns of the decade for brands like McDonald’s, Adidas, Universal Studios, and YouTube.

This role is energetic, innovative and forward-thinking. Alongside engaging with communities, you’ll guide brands by staying ahead of social trends and cultural moments.
