Senior Technical Project Manager

Role

As a Senior Digital Project Manager, you will be working with project teams to deliver OTT/CTV solutions to our clients. These teams are typically made up of engineers, QAs, designers, product managers and you!

You’ll be using your excellent planning and communication skills to deliver solutions and report on project progress and outcomes to the FX leadership team and our clients.

You will be the first Project Manager in our Barcelona office, so you must be a good communicator, comfortable to hit the ground running and work independently.

Please note that we are closed for the Christmas break from 24 December to 1 January inclusive. We appreciate your patience and kindly ask you to allow for a delay in our response to your application during this time.
