Project manager - health and beauty

Job description
Linney is a world-class, multichannel marketing services business. We are looking for an experienced project manager to work on some of our key accounts in health and beauty.

Applicants should have experience working directly with brands and retailers on creative solutions, linked to the production of semi-permanent cardboard displays. These should include FSDUs and shelf-edge furniture, permanent point of sale (including vac-formed shelf-edge trays) and in-store displays that create theatre to improve consumer engagement.

The successful candidate might work directly with our client and with a Linney account management team, or liaise with companies within Linney and our approved suppliers.

We are looking for people who will be hands on, overseeing different elements of the campaign. Responsible for time and cost management of your own projects, you will need to demonstrate experience in critical path creation, quotation requests and commercial governance. This role also involves working within a team of like-minded project managers, taking guidance and leadership from the account director.

Applicants should have excellent presentation skills and be able to manage multiple projects at once. Strong and accurate creative brief-taking ability is essential, along with a broad understanding of the production process, including CAD, load-ups, print production, and distribution.

We are passionate about sustainability and innovation, so we are interested in candidates who embrace change and are constantly looking for ways to improve.

Essential skills and experience:

• Experience in a fast-moving retail market
• Ability to remain calm under pressure
• Excellent customer service skills
• Ability to follow procedure
• Great attention to detail
• Problem-solving and multi-tasking skills
• Ability to meet deadlines and exceed client expectations
