For this role, the Midlands can include areas such as Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Wolverhampton, Stoke-on-Trent, Northampton and surrounding areas, so you do not need to be based in one particular Midlands city.

You will work directly with clients from the Automotive industry to develop and implement a detailed plan to achieve project objectives.

- Identify, monitor and manage potential risks throughout the project lifecycle.
- Ensure all project deliverables meet the highest quality standards.
- Negotiate with suppliers on price, delivery dates and quality.
- Negotiate with clients on quotations, pricing and completion.
- Provide regular and accurate reports on project status updates to senior management and other stakeholders.
- Build internal relationships and work effectively as part of a wider team of creatives, project managers, and technical designers.
- Act as a point of contact to clients, developing new work opportunities whilst upselling and re-selling to existing clients.
- Maintain regular and clear communication lines with suppliers and contractors during the manufacture and delivery process.
- Attend or arrange site meetings as required for the success of the project.
- Troubleshoot and resolve issues that may arise during the project execution.
- Demonstrate commercial acumen in everyday transactions, lead by example, making decisions and resolving problems effectively.
- Be a brand ambassador, always representing our business in a professional manner.
