SENIOR PROJECT 

MANAGER

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Senior  Project Manager to join our growing Projects Team. The ideal candidate will have experience in a client-facing role, managing the delivery of projects in an event or production company. Experience working in a fast-paced environment and managing multiple projects, often with competing deadlines, is essential.

 

THE ROLE

 

Made Up is a full-service Creative Production House. We are a dynamic team of designers, project managers, and makers. We pride ourselves on managing every aspect of the brief in-house. From creative concept and design to construction, build and installation (and everything else in between), we take care of the entire lifecycle of a project. 

 

With over 20 years of experience working with the world's biggest brands, we have delivered thousands of events, pop-up bars, brand activations, live events and retail design. We have worked with clients like British Airways, BBC, Google, Netflix, Facebook, Bentley, Apple, YouTube, Amazon, Prada, Tagheuer and many more.

 

Our offices and production facilities are housed under one roof, allowing all departments to work collaboratively on a brief. As a Senior Project Manager, you'll be our client's first point of contact. You'll pick up new briefs and work closely with design and production teams to bring them to life. You'll have the opportunity to see the project moving through our workshops and be able to speak with carpenters, metalworkers, scenic painters, the tech team and installation managers.

 

For this reason, this position is office-based, and you'll need to be able to work from our Studio in South London.
