Hybrid Account/project Manager

Hogarth Worldwide is the world's leading creative content production company. Born to make the best work brilliantly, we combine craft, insight and technology to bring creative work to life for many of the world's most famous brands.

**A Hybrid working model**

Once offices are fully open we will be moving to a hybrid working model, which will allow our employees to split their time between the office and other locations, something we hope will provide everyone much more flexibility to their working week. The expectation is that working life at Hogarth will involve working from the office for about 50% of the time for most people. Please speak to the Talent Acquisition team to find out more information.

**What does a **_Hybrid Account/Project Manager _**do at Hogarth?**

As part of a close knit client services team, you will play a key role in managing a well established and successful partnership with the Retail division of a highly prestigious tech client. Although based-in and primarily covering the APAC region you will also need to take a wider global view, working closely with colleagues in two other Hogarth hubs (California and the UK). This collaboration will be critical to success.

Reporting into the local Account Director we are looking for someone able to flex their skills across an agency/onsite client role, requiring both classic account management skills and a strong project management capability. You will be focused on coordinating and managing project stakeholders, overseeing a sometimes diverse project delivery group including but not limited to, account and project managers, production designers and linguists. Whilst quality is always forefront, working to fast turnaround times with an awareness of the most efficient ways to deliver against KPI and budget parameters will be essential. Innovation is central to this and we are looking for someone who proactively stays abreast of the latest industry developments and is keen to explore and understand a climate of change and evolution.
