Craft Translation team

Hybrid working from McCann Worldgroup Offices at Bishopsgate/London

Craft Translation, part of the Interpublic Group of Companies, is seeking an enthusiastic client-facing JUNIOR TRANSCREATION PROJECT MANAGER. The role will be hybrid working from 135 Bishopsgate, London, and you will be responsible for a variety of fast-moving Marcom accounts.

In this position, you will be responsible for:

• Owning overall responsibility for clients and full project lifecycle including quoting, execution, planning, account development, and continuous improvement.
• Close collaboration with other team members in different time zones, making resource decisions based on client needs and budget.
• Identifying client needs/opportunities that might not be apparent from an individual project scope or workstream.
• Managing and helping craft the team's business plan and P&L.
• Meeting/exceeding revenue and margin targets.
• Responding to client feedback efficiently and professionally.
• Cultivating existing client relationships, turning accounts from "satisfied" to "highly satisfied."
• Acting on potential leads for growth within existing client relationships.

Required skills:

• Proven experience handling print and digital projects.
• Bonus: experience on e-comm projects.
• Ability to work with and manage a team, locally and remotely.
• Excellent written and verbal English skills.
• Excellent organizational and multi-tasking skills.

• Client-facing experience while handling complex projects.
• Expert knowledge of the translation/transcreation process in marketing/advertising.

Our ideal candidates are energetic, passionate, intellectually curious, and meticulously organized; they thrive under pressure in a fast-paced environment and succeed in challenging client situations. Everyone in our team is a team player; we don't have room for ego and expect everyone to pull their weight and get their hands dirty. We are searching for someone who is highly organized, conscientious, able to manage their own time, and focused on attaining goals and delivering great work rather than just "putting in the seat time." Competency in two or more languages will make you stand out from other candidates.

• Tools for growth, including SPARK (our internal L&D platform), LinkedIn Learning, and external partnerships with NABS and the IPA.
