Creative Solutions Project Manager | London, GB | Full-Time
Monocle is seeking a creative solutions project manager to deliver creative partnerships for some of the world’s most recognised brands and organisations.
About Monocle:
Monocle is an independent media brand that has built a global reputation for its coverage of international affairs, design, travel, fashion and much more besides. Launched in London in 2007, the business has blossomed to include our famed magazine, daily newsletters, a round-the-clock radio station, international events as well as thriving retail stores, e-commerce and cafés. With HQs, bureaux and shops in Zürich, Tokyo, Merano and Hong Kong, we are a truly global team and proud of the fact that Monocle is a vital source of inspiration, analysis and ideas for our discerning global audience.
About the role:
The commercial team collaborates with globally recognised clients – both new and established – who share Monocle’s dedication to quality, craftsmanship and storytelling. Our partnerships span print, radio, live events, retail and bespoke publishing projects, creating thoughtful, multi-platform campaigns that reflect Monocle’s editorial standards and our clients’ ambitions.
Reporting to the creative solutions director, you will be a key member of the team, accountable for the management and delivery of a portfolio of creative partnerships from concept through to completion.
Working at the intersection of our commercial, editorial and creative teams, you will become the trusted point of contact for clients once a partnership has been agreed. You’ll guide projects from kick-off through to final delivery, co-ordinating colleagues across the business while ensuring that every partnership is delivered to the highest editorial and creative standard.
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The role will see you engage with senior stakeholders throughout the delivery of projects. We are looking for someone who is articulate and confident at building relationships, navigating feedback and finding practical solutions to keep projects moving. You’ll work closely with clients and colleagues alike, balancing commercial objectives with creative ambition and ensuring that every partnership is a success.
No two projects are the same. One week you could be delivering an advertorial in the magazine, co-ordinating a bespoke publication for a luxury brand, supporting a live event for a national government or managing a radio partnership. You’ll have the opportunity to work across a wide variety of creative projects, taking ownership while collaborating with editors, designers, writers and commercial colleagues.
Critical to your success will be exceptional organisation and time management, alongside your ability to influence and collaborate with external clients and internal teams. This is a role for someone who enjoys variety, thrives in a fast-moving environment and takes satisfaction from bringing complex creative projects to life.
The successful candidate will demonstrate:
- At least 3 years of demonstrable experience working in publishing and/or creative campaign delivery, ideally in a luxury media context. Experience within magazine publishing, creative agencies and/or advertising would be advantageous.
- Commercial and financial acumen, with previous experience using project-management software.
- The ability – and flexibility – to independently manage projects from end to end, effectively negotiating multiple workstreams and stakeholders from kick-off call to end-of-campaign report.
- Excellent communication skills, with the confidence to lead client conversations, manage expectations and build trusted relationships with both internal and external stakeholders.
- Attention to detail, initiative and a proactive approach.
- Experience using Adobe Acrobat, Apple Keynote and Google Sheets/Microsoft Excel.
- A positive attitude. As a true collaborator, you are committed to creating the highest quality work and meaningful client partnerships.
