About the Role

We're a design-led agency and creative production partner based in London, creating bespoke gifting experiences and custom products for some of the world's most iconic global brands in luxury, beauty, and lifestyle. Innovation and unconventional thinking are at the heart of how we work.

We deliver end-to-end: from strategy and concept, to sourcing, kitting, and global fulfillment. As we enter a key phase of growth, we're looking for a Senior Project Manager to help elevate how we deliver ambitious projects worldwide.

This is a highly visible, client-facing role that combines project delivery, creative production, commercial ownership, team leadership, and day-to-day management of our London studio. You'll own the full lifecycle of high-impact unboxing experiences, PR mailers, and custom product concepts — ensuring everything is delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest standard.

We need someone who is highly autonomous, proactive, and takes ownership without waiting to be asked. Experience in gifting, PR, fashion, beauty, or lifestyle is strongly preferred.

Process & Industry Leadership

Continuously improve processes and uphold high standards for project management

Stay current on industry trends, materials, and production techniques

How You'll Work

Own it: Take full responsibility for projects and decisions within your remit
