Company Description

Jellyfish is your digital partner. We support and drive digital transformation by providing the right technology, strategy and training.

We are one of the world's fastest-growing agencies across an ever-expanding global network. We are Google’s leading global partner. And our close relationship is growing where we are, what we do and how we deliver it. And to do this, we want to grow our skillset. We’d like you to join our journey as ONE Jellyfish.

**Job Description**:
We’re looking for an experienced Project Manager to work with us and one of our partner organisations to deliver on a strategically important global project. The role is split into two main components; technical tracking infrastructure and communications.

**Technical tracking infrastructure**

This is a more technical project management role which requires you to understand the advertising world and its technical platforms and components. It also requires you to be comfortable with more technical database tools; writing SQL queries and building out technical trackers on Google sheets and other Google technologies.

You should have a background in Technical Project Management, bringing lessons learnt to the role with you. And an understanding or experience of the advertising industry so that you can focus on the challenges of the role because you already know our landscape and language.

This is a high profile spot and you are the star player. You’ll be expected to measure and report on your progress and continually drive the project forward. Working closely with our client you’ll set measurements that drive the project forward. The global nature of this role does mean that some early mornings and late nights are expected so that you can meet people in their timezone. Work life balance is important to us so please consider how you might manage this flexibility.

- Lead project kickoff meetings to align team members on objectives and deliverables.
- Monitor and control project budgets, tracking expenses and ensuring financial adherence.
- Outline project goals, timelines, and budgets.
- Plan, manage, and execute project activities, including documentation.
- Coordinate closely with multi-discipline teams, fostering collaboration.
- Ensure delivery compliance and uphold quality standards throughout projects.
- Facilitate effective communication between internal business units.
- Liaise with clients to understand needs and manage expectations.
- Identify and address potential project risks, devising contingency plans.
- Manage scope and change requests to avoid delays and cost overages.
