Creative project manager team leader

Linney is a world-class, multichannel marketing services business. We are looking for an experienced project management team leader who will work with clarity, confidence and calm at our full-service creative agency.

This hands-on leadership role will suit someone who loves project delivery and can support, develop and connect a team. They will help our PMs deliver work on time, on budget and on brief, while creating the structure, governance, training and team culture that help people thrive.

The role will involve:

• Leading, supporting and developing a group of project managers
• Helping them build confidence, capability and commercial understanding
• Bringing a culture of collaboration, openness and shared accountability

The ideal candidate will connect the team, encouraging people to work together and providing day-to-day guidance, coaching and mentoring, including support with onboarding, induction, training needs and knowledge sharing.

They will be happy to support PMs in delivering creative projects, from brief to final delivery, helping them manage timings, budgets, scope, resource and client expectations, and will champion commercially proactive ways of working, including estimating, time management, WIP management, billing, invoicing, budget tracking and scope control.

Happy to act as a clear escalation point for risks, blockers, client challenges and project pressures, they will help the team find practical ways forward, providing structure, governance and consistent ways of working. The role also involves working closely with account directors, creative, production and wider service teams to keep projects moving, and encouraging excellent customer service, timely communication and strong relationships with clients.

The successful candidate will champion positive change, new tools and process improvements and help keep the business and our people safe and informed through clear communication, good governance and strong project discipline.
