Project Manager - Creative and Traffic

At MECCA, we’re building something new.

We’re evolving how we think about creativity - establishing a Creative Direction team that sits at the centre of culture, ideas, and brand storytelling. This team will shape the big ideas, define our brand voice, and drive campaigns that resonate deeply with our community.

To make that ambition real, we’re looking for a Creative Project Manager - the engine that connects ideas to execution.

The Role You Could Play

If Creative Direction is the nucleus, this role is the cog that keeps everything turning.

You will play a pivotal role in translating creative ambition into reality - bringing structure, clarity, and momentum to how ideas move from concept through to execution across the business.

Working closely with Creative Direction leadership and cross-functional teams (Design, Art Direction, VM, Content, Trade and Go-To-Market), you will ensure campaigns are delivered with a clear “red thread” - from initial idea through to rollout.

This is a unique opportunity to help build and embed new ways of working, shaping how creative flows through MECCA without overcomplicating it - creating process that enables creativity, not restricts it.

Key responsibilities will include:

Drive Campaign Delivery

• Support the planning and delivery of major campaigns and key brand moments across the year (from category campaigns to purpose-led and holiday)
• Build and manage clear project timelines, critical paths, and milestones
• Ensure ideas move seamlessly from concept through to execution across all channels

Create Flow & Structure

• Establish and manage workflow across creative development teams (Design, Art Direction, VM, Copy)
• Bring clarity to what can often feel complex - aligning teams, priorities, and timelines
• Facilitate key working sessions, ensuring the right conversations happen at the right time

Connect the Business

• Act as the central point of coordination between Creative, Trade, and broader teams
• Ensure smooth handovers and strong communication across all stages of delivery
• Track progress, flag risks early, and keep momentum across multiple workstreams

Build Better Ways of Working

• Help shape and embed new processes that improve how creative work gets done
• Balance operational discipline with respect for the creative process
• Bring visibility to resourcing, timelines, and priorities

What You Will Bring

You’re someone who thrives at the intersection of creativity and organisation.

• Proven experience in creative project, traffic or production management (agency or in-house)
• Deep understanding of the creative process and how to support it without stifling it
• Highly organised but flexible, you bring structure without rigidity
• Strong at building relationships and influencing stakeholders across teams
• Calm, solutions-focused, and able to navigate fast-paced, evolving environments
• High emotional intelligence - you know how to get the best out of creative teams
• Skilled at building critical paths, managing milestones, and communicating clearly
• Comfortable working across multi-channel / 360 campaigns

Experience with tools like Monday.com is helpful, but not essential.
