  • Project Monitoring and Reporting: Track and report on project progress, working with internal departments and external suppliers to ensure milestones are met and budgets are adhered to. Use project management tools such as Wrike to monitor timelines and resources.
  • Budget and Cost Control: Manage project budgets effectively, ensuring accurate reconciliation of costs to maintain profitability while meeting client needs.
  • Stakeholder Communication: Maintain clear, ongoing communication with clients at all stages of the project. Attend client meetings, ensuring all work and communications align with their expectations and requirements.
  • Quality Assurance: Review all project deliverables before submission to clients, ensuring they meet the agreed-upon standards and specifications.
  • Supplier Management: Conduct supplier research, establish partnerships, and ensure timely distribution of marketing materials as needed for project execution.

  • IT and Project Management Tools Proficiency: Strong IT skills, including proficiency with Microsoft Excel and experience using project management tools like Wrike (or similar).
  • Attention to Detail and Accuracy: A keen eye for detail, ensuring precision in project execution, reporting, and client deliverables.
  • Negotiation Skills: Strong negotiation skills to handle budgets, timelines, and supplier agreements.
  • Digital Marketing Knowledge: Understanding of digital marketing channels and tactics, particularly in relation to web design and development projects, to help guide project delivery.
  • Full UK Driving License: A valid UK driving license for potential travel between client sites.
