Creative Project Manager
Purley, South London | Hybrid Working (3 Days Office / 2 Days Home)
Circa £40,000 DOE + Excellent Benefits + Career Progression
Love managing multiple creative projects where every detail matters? We're recruiting on behalf of an award-winning creative agency that partners with some of Europe's leading retail and FMCG brands.
As the business continues to grow, they're looking for an organised and commercially minded Creative Project Manager to take ownership of a flagship European client account, delivering high-profile packaging, branding and localisation projects from initial brief through to final delivery.
If you've managed multiple client projects within packaging, branding, localisation, translation, artwork, print or another detail-driven creative environment, we'd love to hear from you.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a collaborative agency where you'll build long-term client relationships, manage exciting international projects and play a key role in delivering world-class creative solutions.
The Role
As Creative Project Manager, you'll become the trusted day-to-day contact for one of the agency's largest European retail clients.
Working closely with clients, creative teams, artwork specialists and production teams, you'll ensure projects are delivered accurately, on time and to the highest standards.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
