Skills
I'm offering
I love turning chaos into order, spinning lots of plates and being the calm in a storm.
I'm an experienced Project Manager and have worked alongside some major brands covering all industries. I've worked on large scale careers site, smaller microsites and landing pages, always with a commercial focus while not compromising timeframes and most importantly quality of output.
I've managed resource scheduling (traffic management), freelancers and all of the POs and financials that come with that.
I deliver all kinds of comms projects, from Employer Brand, creative campaigns, short films, photoshoots, websites, internal comms.
I'm able to help with anything that needs a plan, a budget and and someone who can keep a firm grip across multiple workstreams.
Solid organisational and communications skills are of paramount importance in the work I deliver.

Project Manager
TMP Worldwide.
SAINSBURY'S / UNIVERSITY OF MANCHESTER / VIRGIN MEDIA / AUTOTRADER / DIAGEO / MANCHESTER UNIVERSITY NHS TRUST / TRANSPORT FOR LONDON
TMP is a communications agency with a diverse client list, and a track record in developing award-winning digital marcomms campaigns. The huge range of work means all kinds of deadlines to meet. Things move fast and as a Project Manager I get stuck into getting a large volume of projects up and running. It's hard graft with little glory, but I take real pride in making things happen and bringing a project over the finishing line - from web builds, large scale research projects, video and photo shoots to print, digital and outdoor campaigns, it allows me to turn my hand to a variety of situations.
The role requires great people skills, commercial acumen, strong organisational ability, a yearning for a hands-on challenge - tackling problems, finding solutions, agile thinking with bundles of patience, flexibility and common sense. Often you're required to roll your sleeves up and just get stuck in to ensure the job is done, even if it doesn't strictly sit within your remit. No two days are the same, there's a pretty steep learning curve and always something new to learn; I'm pushed out of my comfort zone daily.
As one of the more senior Project Managers in the team, with the longest service, I've taken on more of a supporting and training role, and aided shadowing with less experienced members of the team.
At any one time I might have circa 30 projects on the go with varying levels of complexity.
Some of my current projects include:
Virgin Media | Careers Website
We're currently working with Virgin Media to create a new careers website for them, my role in the project is:
- Six figure project where I am the project lead
- I work closely with the digital experts and strategy teams to conduct an audit of their current website and put forward recommendations for their new website, in terms of structure (sitemap, user experience and wireframes), look and feel
- Managing the Digital Consultant in producing a detailed Statement of Works, a document which forms the basis of any of our website builds - it outlines in detail, all aspects of what is and isn't included in the website build - ensures clarity from the outset as to what is in and out of scope
- Manage all project costs - in and out
- Work closely with the client, and often their finance (procurement), marketing/branding teams to reach a point where the statement of works and costs can be signed off, often with a few iterations of both documents along the way, and be moved into delivery
- Be the first point of contact for the client, responsible for setting up meetings, conference calls, providing regular status updates, flagging if a project has any risks, and how to mitigate them
- Create a detailed project plan covering all stages, including initial creative concepts, design, content, build with highlighted tasks and key milestones for all stakeholders.
- To keep the project on track commercially to ensure it remains profitable, is delivered within the client's budget, all without compromising the quality of work
- Manage scope creep and ensure internal teams don't exceed time spent compared to time charged to the client
- Arranging client billings, arranging supplier Pos; keeping internal systems and project management tools up to date (some of our project management tools include MS Project; Trello; Monday; Jira; SOP).
Sainsbury's | Research Project
While the details of the project can't be disclosed due to client confidentiality, we are working on multiple research projects for Sainsbury's. My role in the project is:
- Liaise with our research Consultants to scope out the best solution to their business problems
- Produce costs for the proposed solution, which includes a mixture of quantitative and qualitative research - desk based competitor research; internal focus groups; stakeholder interviews; workshops; external interviews and telephone interviews
- Once in delivery, plan out and schedule all of the research sessions, schedule telephone interviews; set up diary invites and management of all participants.
- Upon completion of research, support the consultants to collate and analyse the research, producing a report of findings, which are then presented back to the client
- Once the research has been shared, I brief it to the creative teams to produce the appropritate creative messaging in line with the findings.
- From here this creative route can be applied to a range of communications company wide, internally and externally.
- Throughout the project I speak regularly with the client where there are multiple stakeholders, often at a very senior level, currently planning focus groups that include the Chief Executive.
- An adaptable style is imperative for a client who prefers a more formal and traditional approach in their communications
Autotrader | Tech campaign
In an industry, particularly in the North West, where the Tech market is fully saturated, Autotrader approached TMP to help them attract high quality developers to their head office in Manchester.
My role in the project was:
- To be the main point of contact for the client, especially since the rest of the TMP team are London based, they wanted the comfort of having someone local to them who could work from their offices if necessary
- Listening to the client's issues around meeting their tech demands, particularly for a company who relies so heavily on a strong tech force
- Being involved in the briefing to the creative team
- Scoping and managing a two day photoshoot and film shoot at the Autotrader offices with their employees; involved sourcing photographer, organising internal resource to attend from London; arranging travel and accommodation for the crew; producing a schedule for the day and ensuring that on the day the schedule was adhered to so that we stayed on track; making the employees feel confortable and at ease when they were out of their comfort zone; managing the post-shoot production of the imagery and film cuts; using the approved creative to have assets produced for the media campaign, event collateral and social media assets
- The client has been so thrilled with the outputs so far that we're now talking to them to redesign their careers website to reflect the new creative that we've produced
