The Role

Brand New is looking for a Project Manager to own the day to day across programs within our client portfolio. You'll sit at the intersection of creative ambition and operational reality, keeping projects on time, on budget, and on brand. From talent-led, cultural tentpoles to immersive brand experiences, you'll be the person who makes it all actually happen.

What You'll Do

• Own project timelines, budgets, and resource plans across multiple experiential programmes simultaneously
• Run day-to-day communication between creative, production, talent, strategy, and client teams
• Build and manage detailed production schedules for live events, talent-led content, and immersive brand experiences
• Identify risks early, escalate decisively, and implement contingency plans before problems become crises
• Manage vendor and supplier relationships alongside production, including fabricators, AV teams, tech partners, and venue contacts
• Lead on-site during activations, overseeing load-in, live execution, and strike
• Track project financials including purchase orders, invoicing, reconciliation, and margin reporting
• Develop and refine internal processes that make the team faster and sharper on future projects
• Brief and coordinate freelance support during peak periods
• Contribute to post-event debriefs with clear, data-informed recommendations for improvement

What You Bring

• 6+ years of project management experience within a talent or activation-focused agency
• Proven track record delivering large-scale live experiences on time and on budget
• Understanding of content and experiential production
• Exceptional organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple workstreams without losing detail
• Comfortable operating in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments where the brief can shift quickly
• Strong financial acumen: experienced in building and managing six-figure project budgets
• Confident on-site leader who stays calm under pressure
• Excellent communicator across all levels, from junior creatives to C-suite clients
• Willingness to travel for events and activations as required
