Production Project Manager - Retail Marketing projects
£35,000 - £45,000
Northampton – Hybrid, 2+ days / week in the office
We’re looking for an experienced Retail Marketing Production Manager with a strong background in both 2D and 3D POS and in-store retail fixtures to join a leading integrated creative and production agency, managing the delivery of a really varied range of retail production projects. This is a hands-on production role, covering everything from flat 2D print through to 3D cardboard POS and FSDU’s that use both metal and wood. There will be plenty of variety across the projects you’ll manage as you’ll work with a huge range of brands and types of retail marketing. You could be working on retail promotional or sampling displays for major supermarkets, supporting the production of new product launches, or coordinating smaller projects including all manner of 2D graphics and print through to competition winner kits, bags, keyrings, and other promotional items.
You’ll take ownership of the production process from brief through to delivery, from creative visuals to cutters and artwork, working closely with print, wood, metal, and other production suppliers to make sure everything is produced to the right quality, specification, cost, and deadline. You may also visit suppliers to QC finished work, oversee testing, weight-test units, or check that a physical solution works as intended and be present on-site for installation. You’ll work closely with colleagues in the Account Management team, who will manage the relationship with the end client, allowing you to focus on what you do best - production, suppliers, costs, timelines, and getting the work delivered properly and to the best possible standard.
