Programme Manager | Brand Global (PPSM)

12-Month Fixed-Term Contract

Location: London (Hybrid)

Salary: Competitive and dependent on experience

We’re looking for a creative-minded Programme Manager with agency experience at the heart of major campaigns.

If you live and breathe creative delivery, know what it takes to run large-scale brand campaigns — from TVCs to ATL activations — and thrive on managing the moving parts behind the scenes, this could be your next big move.

We need a Programme Manager who brings strong experience managing complex creative projects in fast-paced agency environments, with a solid grasp of how brand campaigns are made — and how to keep them on time, on budget, and on point.

You won’t be buried in technical rollouts or KPIs. You’ll be leading the charge on above-the-line campaigns, working directly with our client Jaguar Land Rover, and driving end-to-end programme delivery across high-profile, multi-channel initiatives.

What You'll Be Doing?

Creative Campaign & Programme Leadership:

Own the end-to-end delivery of high-impact brand campaigns, including TVCs and ATL activations.

Lead project planning, timelines, approvals, and execution with a deep understanding of the creative process.

Run weekly triage meetings to align cross-functional teams and ensure campaigns flow smoothly through the pipeline.

Partner with Account Leads and the Business Director to keep creative, client, and operational priorities aligned.

Client-Facing & Stakeholder Management:

Act as a key point of contact for Jaguar Land Rover and internal agency teams.

Build trust and ensure clear communication between creative, production, and operations.

Set delivery expectations and ensure all milestones and approvals are met across the board.

Operational Oversight (Without the Jargon):

Ensure smooth coordination across departments (creative, account, production, resourcing).

Forecast team capacity and anticipate bottlenecks, working with Resource Directors to stay ahead of demand.

Monitor project health through reporting tools — but always with a focus on creative momentum, not just numbers.

Risk & Issue Management:

Spot risks before they become problems. Escalate where needed, and bring solutions that keep delivery on track.

Align closely with internal teams and the client to manage change, scope shifts, and approvals.

What We're Looking For:

A proven track record of project or programme management experience, preferably within a creative or advertising agency.

Proven experience in delivering high-profile, ATL and TVC campaigns.

End-to-end oversight of brand campaigns across multiple markets and channels.

You’re exceptionally organised, with a sharp eye for detail and a passion for process — without slowing down the creative.

You’re confident leading meetings, managing teams, and speaking with senior clients.

Strong cross-functional collaboration skills — you're the one who makes things happen.

You understand the creative process and respect it, but you also know how to keep it moving.

Previous experience working wwithin the automotive sector would be a big plus.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in creative agency environments, loves the buzz of big-brand campaigns, and can keep complex, multi-market workstreams under control — all while building strong relationships and delivering work you’re proud of.
