what you'll be doing
We're going through an exciting period of growth, helping clients across the world bring their stories to life through the power of events, and we're looking for someone brilliant to help us do that. So, if you're an experienced project manager, we need you!
This role will involve overseeing design resources and scheduling, ensuring all jobs are sufficiently resourced and our high standards are met. To deliver this successfully organisation and communication skills are vital. You will be supporting our Design team, working directly with the Design and Content Manager, in the organisation, allocation and scheduling of design projects and art requirements across all phases of projects throughout emc3, including briefing and actioning freelancers when required.
Your core focus in this role will be to assist in the management of projects. Your roles and responsibilities will vary as project scope can often be wide, however, to provide an overview-the role will include communicating with internal and external stakeholders, organising kick-off meetings to discuss new briefs and providing internal interim reviews through the design process with all relevant stakeholders.
what you'll
need
high levels of organisational skills
We take pride in all that we do and always spend time getting to know the details involved in our projects. In this role, you'll be in charge of managing multiple projects. As a result, you'll need to have high levels of organisation to ensure each project and its deadlines are managed correctly.
at least 2 years experience
We're big believers that skills can be taught, however, due to the nature of the role and our industry, we're looking for somebody who has at least 2 years (proven) experience in project management in either events or design.
familiarity with managing expenses
You will be assisting the Design and Content Manager with the organisation of all admin and assets that relate to design team expenses. This can include team expenses, supplier PO's, company card expenses and invoicing for design deliverables.
understanding of different technologies
We work online, remote/hybrid, and create virtual, live and hybrid events. Because of this, we use a lot of different software both internally and on our projects, so you'll need the ability to navigate different technologies. Examples of this include, Asana, Slack, Procim, Excel, Adobe Suite and Google Drive.
top-tier time management skills
In this role, you'll be in charge of multiple moving parts that occur within a design department. As a result, we're looking for someone who is great at communicating and building relationships (both inside and outside of the business). You'll need to be confident in speaking up and telling people what you need, to ensure the output of the design team runs to schedule and fits the brief requirements.
what you'll
get
The chance to be part of a fast-growing, award-winning global events agency that encourages their team to have autonomy over their role, enabling you to bring new ideas to the table, develop your role into exactly what you want it to be and receive support whilst doing it.
In addition to that, in return for everything you bring, we will provide the following:
opportunities to travel
With events happening in incredible locations across the globe, there are plenty of opportunities to travel. Previous locations include New York, Miami, San Francisco, Mexico City, So Paulo, Singapore, Dubai, Ibiza, Barcelona, Paris, Hvar and more!
company culture
A great company culture provides more than just lip service-and we make sure we're always doing that by regularly investing in it. Not just offering you consistent work and a warm welcome, but creating opportunities for you to build a fulfilling career. We do this by investing in your development, whether personal or professional, providing accessible leadership, and hosting numerous team socials.
flexible hours
Due to the nature of the events industry and our projects, we understand the importance of a harmonious work/life balance and as a result, we offer a flexible approach to working hours. As a freelancer, there will be set meetings that you'll need to attend for your projects each week, but outside of this you'll be able to fulfil your contracted hours to a schedule that suits you-we just ask that you make your team aware so they know when you're working, or out of office.
an emphasis on sustainability
We care about the impact events and our business have on the environment and have a sustainability team to ensure we follow best practices to make our events as environmentally friendly as possible.
