Role Overview

The Project Manager plays a key role in supporting the successful planning, coordination and delivery of MAD Colour projects. Working closely with the Project Delivery Lead as a delivery team of two, this role focuses on day-to-day coordination, communication, tracking and follow-through, ensuring projects move smoothly from brief through to completion.

This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys bringing structure & organisation, keeping people aligned, and ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.  The Project Manager ensures plans are translated into clear actions, teams are aligned, progress is visible, and issues are surfaced early. This role is ideal for someone who is highly organised, collaborative and keen to build experience in delivering complex creative and production-led projects.

What It’s Like to Be a Project Manager at MAD Colour

The Project Manager role is about being close to the work and close to the people.

Working alongside the Project Delivery Lead, you’ll be involved in every stage of a project’s journey — from early planning through to build, install and completion. Your days will be spent coordinating teams, tracking progress, keeping information flowing and making sure everyone knows what needs to happen next.

You’ll work across design, production, logistics and install, building strong relationships and learning how different disciplines come together to create standout activations. You’ll see ideas move from screen to shop floor to site — and play a key role in making sure nothing is missed along the way.

This role is fast-paced and hands-on, but also hugely rewarding. You’ll be part of a project delivery team that celebrates doing things well — where planning matters, teamwork matters, and pride in the final result is shared by everyone involved.

As you grow in confidence and experience, you’ll be supported to take on more responsibility, develop your judgement, and build a career in project delivery within a creative, ambitious business.

If you enjoy organisation, collaboration and being part of something bigger than any one task, this role offers learning, progression and the satisfaction of helping great work happen.
