An exciting opportunity has arisen for an established and commercially minded quantitative Project Manager to join our client’s fast growing and multi award-winning agency.  Our client is a fast growing, independent insight agency who prides themselves on innovative research solutions and excellent customer service. They have an enviable list of clients and ambitious growth plans. 

The Opportunity:

To support the agency’s ambitious growth plans, this agency has recently set up a dedicated project management function within their London office and are now seeking to grow this team.

• Act as a point of contact for clients, providing regular updates on project status alongside account teams
