We are looking for an experienced, can-do Project Manager… but the right person will see the job title as a starter for ten rather than a constraint. Above all, you’re A-team.

We need a brilliant hybrid, someone with the proven experience to deftly manage all client requirements: someone with the tenacity and focus to deliver complex projects. You are part Account Manager, part Project Manager. Part legend. Part horse.

As one of our first full-time employees, the role is a truly exciting opportunity for the right person – a chance to be in on the ground floor as we grow our client base and our culture.

Read the full job description here, and do drop us a line.

People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I’m actually as proud of the things we haven’t done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying ‘no’ to 1,000 things.

I don’t think people are quitting Facebook. There’s quitting Facebook and there’s just not making it the heart and centre of your passion play. I’m of an era where I grew up and the notion that "You’ve Got Mail" was exciting. Everything about email — we would race home after school and be like, "What’s on email" and this is great. It was like little gifts from the heavens. My relationship to email is not like that these days. That doesn’t mean that I’ve left email, but it’s not a place of passion, even when awesome things like a birth announcement come in. That’s awesome, but that doesn’t make me love email. That makes me love my friend who just had a baby.
