    Project Director - London, United Kingdom - Ogilvy

    Ogilvy
    Ogilvy London, United Kingdom

    5 days ago

    Default job background
    Description
    Contract type: 12-Months Fixed-term (Maternity Cover)

    Full Time/Part time:
    Full time
    PMO Lead
    Our vision is to inspire brands and people to impact the world.

    Ogilvy was also nominated network of the year in Cannes Lions, Campaign, Effie Awards EMEA, London International Awards, The One Show and WARC Rankings.

    And our Consulting practice was in the Forbes 2022 list of best management consultancy firms.

    This is a global client - The Coca Cola Company, which WPP won in 2022 globally and the biggest account in the advertising industry.

    WPP created a new team called Open X to manage all the different brands for the TCCC Company - brands such as Sprite, Fanta, Smartwater, Jack and Coke etc to name a few.

    This role is to manage integrated global projects on the TCCC account, mainly for Sprite.

    Reporting into the PMO Lead, you will have direct management responsibilities for your projects, and dotted line responsibilities for the advertising & content teams.

    The Project Director has day-to-day responsibility for the smooth and effective running of their assigned projects from client briefing to delivery of all final outputs; they will be the glue between the disciplines, pulling together the right resources and approach (from within Ogilvy Experience as well as connecting to the multi-discipline teams across the global network) with a focus on great delivery.

    Able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the strategic nature of each assigned project and apply this to the project needs - discussing approach with the account management team articulating the ask to the wider business and capturing that need in workplans and client conversations.

    Great skills in effective project set-up, project planning, budget and resource control, project managing, reporting and process optimization.

    Detail obsessed, be on top of all aspects of their projects, comfortable with workload volume flexing, whilst being aware of the bigger picture and building a good relationship with their project team and PM lead.

    Able to demonstrate first-hand experience of working in a global/local environment with a broad knowledge of disciplines (from strategy to execution).

    Client facing - happy to have open conversations with our clients around briefing, commercials, deliverables etc.

    Commercially savvy - be comfortable with all levels of commercial conversations covering scoping, budget planning and prioritization, scope negotiation, revenue reporting, resource planning and forecasting, interaction with the client scope tool and empowering client services team with the right data to have commercial conversations.

    Ensure our projects are efficient - driving performance to ensure we reach contribution margin targets, having flexibility to think outside of the box and ensuring delivery, resource allocation, standard of creative output is as it should be.

    Experience with managing, scheduling, and delivering projects on a global, integrated account.

    The PD will work closely to build relationships with their team (consultants, project managers, producers, account management, creatives) and be the hub on their projects.

    Manage multiple work streams, with a focus on the creative output, but working on projects that will connect to the wider agency (brand identify, communications, experience, PR) to agreed scope, timings, and budget.

    At the start of a project, analyse areas that could potentially throw the delivery off-track, and where possible mitigate against them.

    Be responsible for creating and maintaining project timing plans from pre-brief to final delivery - with input from specialist departments.

    Develop and maintain a thorough knowledge and understanding of Ogilvy and client project tools and platforms. Be comfortable using digital workflow tools, communication tools (such as Teams, SharePoint, Smartsheet etc.)
    The PD should be aware of the financial status of their projects and forecast (and flag) any issues. Comfortable with voicing over commercial issues etc. during fortnightly financial status meetingswhere necessary.
    Maintain good housekeeping

    Be a Self-Starter - this is a new way-of-working so our team needs to be enthusiastic, open to change and innovation, flexible with approach and eager to get involved.

    Be a champion for the output - helping push (and when necessary, protect) the right conditions to give space to the thinking.

    Help to make Ogilvy a great place to work and not least to try and have fun whilst carrying out the above.


    How we help you Thrive:
    25 days annual leave + 1 Volunteer Day
    Enhanced Maternity, Adoption and Shared Parental Leave
