Project Manager (Creative Agency) - London

We’re a bunch of strategists, creatives, producers, and marketers gathered from all over Europe revolutionizing the way we do marketing in our company, AB InBev. Our mission is to unleash creativity by making more culturally relevant and future-proofed work from within for the beer brands we have in our portfolio, such as Stella Artois, Budweiser, Corona, Leffe, Camden and Beck’s to name a few.  We have more than 500 different brands across the globe.

Based out of our central London office, with its own production studio and rooftop bar, we work hand in hand with global and local marketing teams to develop top-notch creative work.

We are looking for an ambitious Project Manager to join our brilliant and growing team. You should be dynamic, curious and a creative thinker with a passion for account and project management with a restless desire to do more.

You’ve heard of ‘multi-tasking’, but that’s no challenge, ‘maxi-tasking’ is more your thing. You will run your projects simultaneously as well as support the senior account /project management team on larger-scale projects. You will build excellent relationships with the brand team and help manage all aspects of projects to ensure they are delivered to a high quality, on time, and within budget. Attention to detail and the administration side of the role is just as important as creative flair and great people skills.

At Budweiser Brewing Group, dreaming big is what we do. Brewing the world’s most loved beers, building iconic brands like Budweiser and Stella Artois, and crafting meaningful moments are what inspire us.

We’re a team of passionate owners who aren’t afraid to dream big because we know that together, we can achieve anything. To build a more sustainable, inclusive and rewarding future. Turning any challenge into an opportunity. So let’s take on the challenge together. Cheers to dreaming big!
