THE ROLE
As Project Manager you will help to manage projects from start to finish, working alongside our Associate Operations Director and project leads to keep everything on track, on time and beautifully organised. Our Operations Team is the engine room of our research delivery, and you'll play an important role within it, handling the set-up, the logistics, the admin and the wrap-up that turn a great idea into a smoothly run project.
This is a hands-on, detail-focused role for someone who loves bringing order to the moving parts. You'll touch every stage of a project, work with clients, recruiters and freelancers, and make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
This is a part-time role of 20-24 hours a week. Our preference is either four hours a day over five days, or three full consecutive days, but we're flexible and happy to find a working pattern that suits the right candidate.
The role is remote – you will work from home. The full-time salary is £25-30K depending on experience and will be paid pro-rata depending on agreed hours.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Your responsibilities will span the full life of a project, from set-up through to wrap-up. Full training
and plenty of examples will be provided. The role is likely to include tasks such as:
- Helping to set up projects, including organising the paperwork and sharing files and folders with clients.
- Coordinating participant recruitment with our recruiters, checking profiles and keeping things on track.
- Booking venues, online platforms, suppliers and liaising with participants.
- Keeping documents, trackers and project information well organised and up-to-date.
- Pulling together weekly project updates for the team.
- Proofreading and polishing documents to our brand guidelines.
- Wrapping projects up, tidying folders, supporting case studies and gathering client feedback.
- Supporting the wider team with ad hoc requests, from helping with proposals to creating social media content, website updates and short videos and reels from our research.
THE IDEAL CANDIDATE
We're looking for someone exceptionally well organised who enjoys keeping plates spinning and people on track. You'll have:
- Strong project coordination or project management experience from a fast-moving, deadline-driven environment.
- A real eye for detail and a methodical, reliable approach, you're the person who spots the gap before it becomes a problem.
- Confident communication skills, comfortable liaising with clients, recruiters and freelancers.
- The ability to juggle multiple projects at once and keep everything moving to deadlines.
- A collaborative, flexible attitude that suits a small, non-hierarchical team.
- A 'can-do' spirit - whatever the challenge, you're up for giving it a go and doing your best.
WHY MAGENTA?
At Magenta, we're not just another research agency. We're a tight-knit team of strategic thinkers, recently named Aura's Agency of the Year and Best Small Agency.
Our flat structure means everyone’s ideas aren't just heard, they're actively sought and implemented. We work remotely but get together regularly to work and socialise - that might be a day-long team training session, or simply a day out enjoying the summer sunshine. You're encouraged to bring your passions to work.
We offer flexible working, a fun environment and a genuine work-life balance built around what that actually looks like for you. We'll happily consider different working patterns for the right person.
Benefits include:
- A personal training budget to spend on whatever helps you do your job better.
- 25 days' annual leave (pro rata) plus we close between Christmas and New Year.
- 2 days a year to volunteer.
- A place in the company bonus scheme — all employees are included.
- Pension.
