Project Manager - Creative Delivery & Operations (Dyson GB&I) 6 Month FTC

Based in Malmesbury

Department & Account Summary

WPP Production is Dyson’s strategic content and commerce delivery partner at a global and local level, covering its CGI, mastering, web platform administration, market localization, adaptation, and translation needs.

Fully integrated with Dyson’s in-house creative teams since 2016, WPP Production operates as an embedded partner. This role sits directly within the embedded Dyson GB&I (Great Britain & Ireland) account team.

Role Overview

We are looking for a organized, client-facing creative Project Manager with a strong passion for creative delivery, workflow coordination, and project execution.

In this embedded role on-site/hybrid with Dyson, you will act as the primary day-to-day liaison between client stakeholders, our embedded in-house designers, and offshore production teams in Chennai. You will manage projects from brief intake to final delivery—combining traditional client relationship management with hands-on traffic, scheduling, brief triaging, and capacity planning.

This role is ideal for an Account Manager who thrives in the detail, loves keeping projects moving smoothly, and enjoys working closely with creative and production teams.

Key Responsibilities

1. Client Management & Communication

Act as a key day-to-day point of contact for the Dyson GB&I client marketing teams, building strong, collaborative relationships.
Attend weekly GB&I client status meetings and operational syncs to review upcoming work and priorities.
Manage client expectations around timelines, deliverables, and resource availability, keeping senior client stakeholders informed of project progress and any potential scope shifts.

2. Briefing, Triaging & Production Delivery

Receive and interrogate incoming client briefs to ensure technical clarity, asset requirements, and complete details before kickoff.
Production Triaging: Route projects effectively between our embedded onsite designer and Hogarth’s offshore production team in Chennai.
Write clear project briefs, establish timeline schedules, and implement consistent asset-naming conventions for production teams.

3. Workflow, Scheduling & Capacity Coordination

Manage end-to-end delivery of GB&I localization, adaptation, and asset design projects.
Track the workload and capacity of the embedded in-house designer, forecasting upcoming briefs (Year-To-Go / YTG) to avoid bottlenecks.
Negotiate priorities with client teams when scope clashes or tight deadlines arise.

4. Brand QC & Process Adherence

Act as a brand QC guardian, reviewing final assets against Dyson brand guidelines and quality checklists before client delivery.
Ensure all work is tracked accurately using Hogarth’s workflow technologies and production processes.

Requirements & Experience

Agency Experience: Previous marketing agency experience in an agency Project Management or Junior Account Manager role - ideally with exposure to creative adaptation, localization, or production workflows.
Delivery & Operational Mindset: High level of organization, with a strong interest in project tracking, briefing, scheduling, and traffic management.
Client & Communication Skills: Confident client handler able to manage expectations, negotiate deadlines constructively, and run status meetings smoothly.
Production Literacy: Familiarity with digital/print asset creation and working with remote/offshore production hubs (e.g., Chennai) is a strong plus.
Tool Tech-Savviness: Comfortable using project management and workflow tracking software (e.g., Workfront, Jira, ASANA, or similar).
Problem-Solving Ability: A proactive, "can-do" attitude with the ability to stay calm and organized under tight deadlines.
