ABOUT RAPP
We stand up for individuality. We actively foster an inclusive workplace where diversity and individual difference are valued and leveraged to achieve the agency’s vision. Most importantly, we value every individual’s wellbeing.
As a diversity champion, equal opportunities and disability confident employer, and an ardent advocate of flexible working, we understand that everyone has unique requirements and needs. We are a global creative agency, but the individual really is at the heart of everything we do.
We use data to find out what makes them tick. We use technology to talk to them one-to-one – but to one million at a time. And we use creativity to encourage them to engage, click, buy, and bond, again and again. Each brand is unique and has its own individual challenges. We pride ourselves in rising to each and every one of them, for brands such as Virgin Media O2, KFC, Mercedes Benz, and IKEA.
Us
We are true advocates of Flexible Working. We ask you to work where and when you work best. We’ll be honest though, we do love seeing people in the office, because it delivers on our Culture, Collaboration, and Connection. For Concentration, work where you’ll work best. We call it the 4 Cs.
Learning and Development is important. It's why we have a dedicated Learning and Development team and offer regular career conversations and bespoke L&D programmes so that you can leave us with more than when you started.
We recognise that the work of diversity, equity, and inclusion calls on all of us. That’s why we set up The Neighbourhood – a collective of people, at different stages of the DE&I journey, whether impacted or allies, dedicated to helping our colleagues take ownership and effect change across 4 key pillars:
1. Anti-racism
2. Disability
3. Gender & LGBTQ+
4. Parents & Carers
The Health and Wellbeing of our people matters immensely. We offer coaching opportunities for all through our partnerships with Sanctus (mental health partner who provides online coaching; you can talk about anything, personal or professional) and Sayge (1:1 professional development coaching program).
We have 40 trained Mental Health First Aiders across the agency and have Babylon Health (Private GP service) for all.
You’re better at work when you feel better in yourself. So, in addition to your annual holiday, you can take a “Me” day and an “Us” day, every year.
Your “Me” day is for you to invest in yourself – go after a life goal, meditate, learn to paint, bake cakes or just have a duvet day watching Netflix!
Your “Us” day is all about giving back and helping others – volunteer, pick litter at a local park, hang out with the elderly or raise money for a local charity.
We’re progressive and always open to new initiatives, for example, we’ve recently partnered with Fertifa (Leading Fertility and Reproductive Health benefit providers). Because we know the journey to becoming a family isn’t always easy (that includes men too), and we support our people through that journey whether you are new parent, experiencing the menopause, or anything else in between.
Whatever stage of life you are at, we make sure you have the tools you need to have a healthy work-life balance.
Role Headline
We are looking for a Project Director with strong demonstrable experience in end-to-end delivery including creative services, technology, data, and change management. You will be acting as a focal point in a cross-functional team collaborating with subject matter experts, Client Partnership, and strategy leads, to shape and implement solutions that deliver measurable outcomes for our clients.
You will be comfortable managing other operating companies and wider Omnicom Group, off-shore teams, external suppliers, and business stakeholders.
As a senior figurehead, you will bring a breadth of knowledge and experience in digital transformation, providing direction to others, and working autonomously. You will be well versed in leading globally distributed teams and confident in managing risk and change.
You are a natural and confident leader, providing mentorship and career development to your team of project managers.
The role, on the Virgin Media O2 account, will be working in partnership with the Senior Client Leadership team. You will work on a mixture of large seasonal campaigns (i.e. Christmas, Black Friday, RPI), award worthy Golden Briefs, and BAU work that includes our Welcome Journey for new customers, other monthly communications, and email campaigns that are contextually relevant to the changing market place.
The position will report to the VP of Project Management and is responsible for delivery of output across the whole account – structuring processes, commercial accountability, planning/managing the retainer, and transitioning transformation projects into BAU. The role is client-facing and requires delicate yet firm project leadership.
Opportunity
The role provides the opportunity to work across multi-channel campaigns. Being part of the VMO2 team is being part of a team that is leading the way in transformation and efficiencies, within digital advertising, broadening your skills and knowledge.
As the senior operational lead, this role would give you the opportunity to develop the careers of future stars. You will be working with some of the smartest minds in the industry, at an award-winning agency on a forward-thinking client.
No day will be the same – you will be constantly challenged to understand new technologies and find ways to harness them for the client and your teams.
Recruitment process
We’re not a 9 stage interview process agency. We like to keep recruitment swift, lean, and individual and find that 2 or 3 stages gives all parties the opportunity to get to know each other. Plus, we have a team on hand to answer questions throughout the process.
We are RAPP. And we can’t wait to meet you.
