ABOUT:
GAIN is a creative-led, insight-driven company that blends data, tech and creativity. We believe the best ideas emerge where intelligence and creativity unite, where insight sparks imagination, and where innovation turns possibility into progress.
We are explorers of new frontiers, shaping bold strategies that move people, brands, and businesses forward. Individually and together, our specialist teams provide the vision, data, and confidence brands and organisations need to make braver, more impactful decisions.
Today as GAIN, we work as a united force, using data to fuel creativity, and technology to unlock new possibilities. We don’t just embrace innovation, we engineer it, transforming information into action, and ideas into breakthroughs.
This is where rebel thinking, smart technology and data-driven creativity shape the future.
THE ROLE:
We're looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager who combines a passion for great work with the expertise and confidence to make it happen.
You'll take ownership of the end-to-end delivery of complex digital projects, working closely with clients and our creative, strategic and technical teams to turn ambitious ideas into exceptional outcomes.
From initial brief and scoping through to launch and beyond, you'll bring structure, clarity and momentum to every stage of delivery. You'll be comfortable challenging thinking, solving problems and navigating complexity, ensuring projects are delivered to the highest standards, on time and within budget.
This is a hands on role for someone who cares as much about the quality of the work as the process behind delivering it.
