Senior Creative Producer / Senior Project Manager

About us

Pals are a creative collaboration communications agency. We deliver integrated marketing and creative work for clients across the UK and Europe. Our core team is small, so all our work is delivered in collaboration with a collective of over 150 creatives across the UK. We solve communications problems with open-minded creative responses, resourcing bespoke teams for each brief, delivering a broad spectrum of creative responses. We work in creative, design, branding, animation, film, AR/VR, digital and all the traditional ATL/BTL deliverables you’d expect.

About the roles

We are looking for senior creative producers, senior account managers and senior project managers to work across a number of UK wide projects. You’ll work with our creative collective to manage and produce creative marketing activity. The roles can be delivered remotely, however the nature of the project means there will be travel requirements. Our head office is in Sheffield, so if you could spend a day a week in Sheffield, that would be a bonus.

Contracts up until December 2022, if it goes well then we’ll consider development into permenant roles. We have a second job ad live for a permenant role based in Sheffield.

Business up front, party in the back - We’re about getting shit done, efficiently but having a good time while you’re doing it.

True Pals have the freedom to tell you to push your work further or that your idea isn’t right without any upset feelings. We work to build this relationship between ourselves and our clients, because true honesty is priceless.
