Job Description

Who are we

We go beyond the obvious and create the extraordinary. We are driven by the desire to constantly push the boundaries of creativity, fed by our inherent curiosity of what is happening in the world around us.  As a foundation to this, we’ve put together a clear definition of what your job involves. Have a read, ask any questions and check this definition each time you chat through your progress with your Line Manager.

  • As Project Manager (PM), the key role is to lead mid-size to large projects so they are realised to schedule, to budget and to a standard that exceeds expectations. In short, delight the most demanding clients in the world. By demonstrating gravitas in everything you do, you’ll be an effective leader of people and projects. 
  • Day-to-day you’ll be the key point of contact during the project’s life cycle. So keep a close watch on your projects so that nothing happens without your approval. For several key bits of business, you’ll be the focal point. 
  • We looks to your project management skills for success. So get the most out of those around you (in account handling, creative, tech, and the rest of your team.) And you’ll soon have multi-faceted projects well under control. 
  • Let those around you benefit from your detailed understanding of the digital world. 
  • Your client will especially appreciate your technical/strategic understanding of their business from a digital perspective. 
  • Your  status within the digital  management team will give you a significant influence over the quality of. So stay on the lookout for ways to improve your team culture, quality of work and development. 
What we expect from you

You’re accountable for many things and these are divided into three areas: product (the quality of work we produce), people (our behaviour and how we do things), profit (the money we make or save)

Product

  • The agency depends on prompt and accurate communication, both internal and external facing. Here you will play a key part. You’ll be writing production briefs, timelines, budgets, and will be coordinating the efforts of creatives, developers, client servicing teams and external vendors. 
  • You can dissect a brief in no time and spot trouble a mile off. So you’re in a great position to lead the project management process, and deal with all supporting correspondence.
  • Show us what you can do by managing mid-size and large projects. Be present at the creative briefing and the development of the proposition. Then take part in the written and verbal production brief. Your role will also see you involved in client presentations, creative feedback, project implementation and evaluation. 
  • Timing schedules matter and iris makes them detailed and accurate. It’s your role to outline all key tasks, responsibilities and completion deadlines to ensure that we can implement marketing activities within an agreed timeframe. 
  • Tell it how it is. Communicate progress to your line manager, across the team and to the client in easy to digest bite sizes timely desirables. 
  • Under the guidance of your line manager, take every chance to initiate and show responsibility for smaller projects. You will also get the opportunity to present work to clients, so take advantage of it. 
  • Understanding the basic principles, technologies and terminology associated with digital production is vital. You’ll soon be able to meaningfully discuss these with creatives or developers and clients alike. 
  • File copies or digital case studies of implemented work are essential. So we’ll need you to get hold of them. You’ll also be assisting in the evaluation of all completed work. 
  • We’re not the most bureaucratic agency around, but iris has got a finely tuned project process.
  • An all-round understanding of the digital marketing industry will help you add value to your role. And your passion for all things digital will be reflected in your work. Fuel it by working with experienced agency people and regularly reading trade titles, websites, and blogs. 
  • Strategic thinkers are always a valuable asset. You’ll be developing the skills to understand client strategy and, where appropriate, translate that into a brilliant campaign. 
  • It doesn’t cost anything to share knowledge and experience. But that’s not to say other teams won’t value your contribution. Add a fresh perspective to their brainstorms by volunteering your time. 
People
  • When joining us, new people should be able to look to you for support. So lead their induction process and look after them. 
  • Give your team the leadership they are looking for. A flexible management style will bring out the best in others. 
  • Help team members develop their skills by working closely with them on a dayto-day basis. Everyone could benefit from a bit of coaching, be it on a people or a product level. We doesn’t suffer from an Us and Them mentality. You can help foster a team spirit across the agency, especially with people in the creative and finance departments. 
  • When recruiting, look for people with the potential to be future leaders at iris. Then manage their integration into the client and agency teams. 
  • If talking to colleagues and clients you should be good at communicating the our vision. In other words, be an ambassador. 
  • We’ve always been an agency that likes to encourage involvement. The rest of your team will get more out of their roles if they take part in wider agency initiatives. So try to give them exposure to iris life outside of your client team.
Profit
  • As a PM you get to play a key role in agency-wide rewards. So take ownership of project income forecasts, develop suitable strategies and take pride in delivering them. It helps when you make sure team members are being efficient and maximising revenue opportunities. 
  • Seeing the potential should be second nature. You should be able to predict and ultimately maximise new business opportunities for iris. Combine this with an ability to bring your client(s) along with your thinking. 
  • Working with key people in the team where necessary, you may be negotiating  fees with clients on a project- by-project basis. Do well and everyone in the agency will benefit. 
  • Be resourceful. In other words, manage available agency resources in the most efficient way. We’ll also expect your inputs into short and medium-term forecasts for resourcing requirements. 
  • Good financial management is critical to our long-term success. Cascade importance through the rest of the team.
