Project Manager - Retail

This is a fantastic opportunity for a project manager to join the Kounter team, the retail agency (part of the Bluedog Group) - a forward-thinking and highly successful group of agencies, with a global presence.

Due to further sustained growth, we are seeking an experienced, positive, and forward-thinking candidate to join our expanding team. You will need the ability to work autonomously and have good attention to detail. Moving heaven and earth for our clients is a belief you must live by.

This is a challenging and exciting position, combining both technical, personal and creative skills.

Retail projects will be your main focus day-to-day, with an opportunity to work on domestic retail projects as this side of our business continues to grow, too.

As an agency, we offer flexible working but will require 3 days a week, working from the Bluedog Group offices in Farnham, Surrey, alongside the rest of the team.

Managing projects and client accounts from the get-go, you'll become an integral part of our mighty team.
