Job Description

We're looking for an experienced Project Manager to join our team.

We're Root Studio - a creative studio based in Lincoln delivering standout design, digital and brand work for exciting clients all over the UK and beyond. As we grow, we're looking for an experienced Project Manager to help us keep projects running smoothly, profitably and creatively.

If you're organised, proactive and comfortable working in a fast-paced creative environment, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing:

Project Scoping & Planning

Work with clients and the team to define project goals, deliverables and key milestones. Build realistic project plans, timelines and budgets. Help estimate project costs and timeframes alongside the creative team.

Spot ways we can improve how we work and help implement better processes. Keep an eye on studio capacity so we can plan ahead. Run post-project reviews to figure out what worked and what we can improve.

Budget & Profitability Management

Track budgets, time and resources to keep projects on target. Flag any risks to profitability early.
