Project Manager | Creative Events & Global Activations

Hiring via Royall | West Midlands Hub

Location: High-Flex Hybrid (1–2 Days in Studio)

Stop "Running" Events. Start Architecting Experiences. Are you an Agency Project Manager who is brilliant at the logistics but hungry for the strategy? Do you love the adrenaline of a live floor but find yourself wondering "Why are we saying this?" rather than just "Where is the catering?"

Royall has been engaged by an industry-leading creative agency in the West Midlands to headhunt a powerhouse Project Manager. This is a rare opportunity to join a team that sits at the intersection of high-end production and deep-dive communications strategy. This is the role where you transition from being a "delivery expert" to a strategic creative partner.

The Flexibility Flip: We’ve opened the gates. To help our client find the best agency talent in the UK, they have moved to a 1–2 day studio week. Whether you are a local expert or a "super-commuter" looking for a creative sanctuary, we want your expertise, not your commute.

What’s Different About This Role?

This isn't about being a small cog. You will own a prestigious portfolio of projects (typically £100k–£150k), managing the entire lifecycle from the first spark of a brief to the global onsite debrief.

Our client is committed to mentorship. You will work alongside elite Account Directors to move beyond spreadsheets and into Internal Comms Strategy. You’ll learn how to align a global brand’s message with a live activation, making you one of the most well-rounded PMs in the industry.

The Candidate DNA:

• Agency-Bred: You are currently (or very recently) working in an Event, Experiential, or Creative Agency. You know the pace, the pressure, and the payoff.
• C-Suite Confidence: You are comfortable, articulate, and "unflappable" when standing in front of high-level clients.
• The "Strategy" Spark: You want to understand the why behind the event. You’re ready to learn the art of communications and brand narrative.
• Global Ready: You’ve got your passport ready and a professional polish that shines whether you're in a boardroom or an airport lounge.
• The Essentials: A full driving license and car are a must to access the agency's stunning, converted rural studio hub.

What You’ll Do:

• Own the Portfolio: Take full accountability for project delivery, timelines, and profitability.
• Command the Room: Act as a lead contact for global clients, steering them through the creative process.
• Collaborate Across Verticals: Work side-by-side with in-house Film, Digital, and Graphic teams to build cohesive, strategy-led experiences.
• Execute Globally: Lead onsite teams across the UK and internationally, ensuring every detail is polished to perfection.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Modern Autonomy: 1–2 days in the studio, the rest is yours. Finally, a career move that respects your life.
• Strategic Evolution: Our client will teach you the "Strategy" piece that most PM roles ignore, future-proofing your career for Senior Leadership.
• The Environment: Trade the grey city office for a breathtaking, high-spec converted studio space. It’s a creative hub designed to inspire.

The Ideal Fit:

You are someone who takes immense pride in the details, stays calm when the stakes are high, and is ready to take your agency career to the absolute next level. You have the professional weight to lead a room and the technical know-how to deliver a flawless activation.
