We’re hiring: Project Director

Bermondsey Street, London Bridge / Hybrid 

️ Full time

It’s an exciting time at That Thing. Existing clients are growing, new partnerships are forming, and we’re sharpening what we do best as we continue to evolve the agency.

We’re looking for a Project Director to lead some of our biggest projects and nurture the relationships that matter most. The role sits at the heart of our studio. It needs someone who loves getting involved in the creative, but who is just as passionate about making projects run brilliantly behind the scenes. Someone who brings clarity and momentum to every stage of the process - both for our clients and for our team.

What you’ll do:

• Lead key client relationships - running projects day-to-day and making sure clients always feel confident in the process and work.

• Manage the commercials - working out scopes, budgets, monitoring freelancer support and project profitability.

• Own the process - building the right teams, setting timelines, capturing feedback and progress, and keeping projects moving smoothly.

• Champion the work - staying close to creative development and making sure outputs are delivered to the highest standard.

• Keep a close eye on performance - reporting regularly on how projects are tracking against timelines and budget.

• Spot opportunities - identifying new briefs and helping turn them into future projects.

• Oversee project resourcing - thinking studio-wide when it comes to scheduling team time and highlighting when we need to grow the team to meet deadlines.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has 5+ years experience delivering brand and/or campaign projects in a creative agency.
• Is confident leading client communication and building relationships.
• Enjoys working closely with the designers, writers, strategists and production team.
• Can represent the work and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Cares deeply about high standards and knows how to get the best out of the team. 
• Is highly organised, proactive and calm under pressure.
• Has an interest in new PM processes, tools and ways of working.

Why join that Thing?

• A chance to shape a growing creative agency.
• A collaborative, friendly and supportive studio culture.
• Hybrid working (We’re together in the studio Tuesday - Thursday).
• 25 days holiday (Plus 3 days for Christmas studio closure).
• Pension contribution + performance bonuses.
• 2 weeks of remote working from anywhere in the world each year.
