<h3><strong><span data-contrast="auto">About the role:</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":240}"> </span></h3>
<p class="mb-2 whitespace-pre-wrap">This is an opportunity to join OLIVER's dedicated in-house studio embedded with a globally recognised B2B organisation as an Interim Project Manager, leading creative and digital projects from brief to completion within a Digital Centre of Excellence.</p>
<p class="mb-2 whitespace-pre-wrap">The studio sits at the heart of the client's marketing department — with an ambitious mandate to put the Saudi events industry on the global map. Based in London on a hybrid working pattern, you'll own the full project lifecycle across digital content, social campaigns, and events marketing: managing timelines, resources, and budgets, and keeping a high-volume, multi-discipline programme moving with clarity and momentum. Your ability to bring structure to complexity will keep projects on track and creative output at its best.</p>

You'll take full ownership of project plans — triaging incoming briefs, managing team capacity, facilitating review and approval processes, and ensuring every deliverable lands on time and to budget. You'll work alongside the client's other external agencies and partners, acting as a trusted bridge between agency rigour and client-side ways of working.</span></span></p>
<h3><strong><span data-contrast="auto">What you will be doing:</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":240}"> </span></h3>
<ul>

<li>Facilitate project meetings across all stages — from kick-off and discovery through to delivery and closure — using a consistent project methodology</li>
<li>Own the review and approval process for creative output, ensuring quality standards are met before work reaches the client or goes live</li>
<li>Manage project-level budgets: track spend against forecast, raise purchase orders, flag cost implications early, and keep stakeholders informed of financial performance</li>
<li>Monitor and maintain key Service Level Agreements across all parties involved</li>
<li>Build productive working relationships with team members, senior stakeholders, and event owners — ensuring priorities are understood and risks are escalated appropriately</li>
<li>Champion internal project management processes, supporting marketing managers to improve guidelines, templates, and workflows</li>

<li>Ability to integrate effectively within a client-side team while maintaining agency-level service and accountability</li>
<li>Experience in B2B environments; experience in events marketing is a strong advantage</li>
