Job Description

We are looking for an energetic and proactive project manager to join our Client Services team at Soapbox. This role is perfect for a natural organiser with great problem-solving skills.

You’ll be working on a range of interesting brand and design projects with a great bunch of strategists, designers and developers across the world. It is a dynamic, fast-paced role and you must have experience of working in an agency environment or similar, juggling multiple projects and resources.

You’ll work with colleagues and clients to shape incoming opportunities, scope and plan projects, manage the resource schedule and deliver top-notch projects on time and within budget.

About you

You have at least 2 years’ project management experience in a relevant role.

You can communicate clearly with clients and colleagues in person, over calls and via email, demonstrating diplomacy and negotiation skills.

You remain calm under pressure and maintain a patient and positive approach when dealing with multiple requests.

You have a good degree of commercial awareness and keep the bottom line in mind.

You’re comfortable working across several projects and prioritising changing tasks.

Problem solving, client management, and negotiation should come naturally to you.

Ideally

You have some understanding of design, video, or digital processes.

You have some experience working with non-commercial clients such as NGOs, think tanks, or educational institutions.

We work in Google Suite, Forecast, Paymo, Basecamp, ClickUp and Slack. You’ll need experience in these tools or similar - or be a fast learner.

What we offer

  • 25 days holiday per year (plus public holidays, Christmas and your birthday)
  • Hybrid working - in the studio minimum two days per week
  • Work from anywhere four weeks a year.
  • Enhanced maternity and paternity pay
  • Matched pension contributions
  • End of year profit share

Here’s a bit about us

Soapbox is a creative studio for ideas that matter. We partner with forward-thinking organisations to turn knowledge and evidence into social progress. We are designers, web developers, writers, thinkers, storytellers and problem-solvers. We are passionate about the power of ideas and evidence to build a better world.

We are a flexible and fair employer and our values run through everything we do, from the clients we work with to the way we treat our staff. This has helped us to build a close-knit, hard-working and ambitious team. Many of our colleagues have worked with us for a large part of their career, advancing professionally over their years with us.

We are committed to equality of opportunity and know that including employees with a diverse range of perspectives and experiences will improve the quality and creativity of the services we provide. We particularly welcome applications from candidates who are members of groups that are currently under-represented at Soapbox, including LGBTQ+ people, people with disabilities, and people from minority ethnic and religious communities.
