About the role
This is a place where curiosity drives what’s next, boldness raises the bar, and we win together. Where ownership is expected, egos are left at the door, and the work reflects the people behind it.
Responsibilities
- Support end-to-end project management across a portfolio of conferences and B2B technology programs, ensuring every workstream is tracked, and on time
- Build and maintain comprehensive project documentation including timelines, budgets, trackers, decks, and status reports to a standard that instils client confidence
- Partner closely with the Account Director to ensure client briefs are clearly translated into executable plans, with dependencies and risks identified upfront
- Cook up and coordinate cross-functional agency teams (creative, production, strategy, operations) to keep programs on track and deliverables aligned to the original scope
- Serve as the internal team’s anchor point on day-to-day program management — the person everyone knows to copy for decisions, updates, and approvals
- Develop a working understanding of client business priorities and event objectives to serve as a confident, credible day-to-day contact
- Actively monitor project scope and flag changes or additions to the Account Director to protect budget, timeline, and margin
- Prepare clear, polished client communications, agendas, recaps, briefing documents, and presentations, that reflect the quality clients expect from Jack Morton
- Build trusted relationships with mid-level client contacts through reliability, responsiveness, and consistently excellent delivery
- Identify opportunities to add value within the scope of existing engagements and surface them to the Account Director for consideration
- Because we all love to see how we’re doing, you’ll partner with Brand Marketing to develop Award submissions and Case Studies
- Run tight, productive internal team meetings with clear agendas, documented actions, zero ambiguity on who owns what
- You’ll help create a team, pulling people from various departments and background together to have fun, and do cool shit together
- Bring your own energy, perspective, and personality to a team that takes the work seriously and has fun doing it
