Project Manager (Creative)

Job Description:

Ideas rarely move in a straight line. Priorities shift, feedback evolves, timelines tighten, and multiple teams need to move as one.

That's where you come in.

At dentsu Creative, our Project Managers are the driving force behind delivery; creating the clarity, momentum, and structure that allow creative teams to do their best work. You'll orchestrate integrated campaigns across social, digital, and creative disciplines, ensuring every moving piece comes together seamlessly, from brief to launch.

If you thrive in fast-paced agency environments, enjoy solving complex delivery challenges, and love bringing ambitious ideas to life, this is the role for you.
