We are currently looking to add an experienced traffic manager to our team.
The right person will have to be supremely organised, flexible and able to work well under pressure within a small team.
This is a full-time flexi-time position. We expect you to work Monday to Friday, 9am-1pm and then the rest of the hours to be distributed in a way that includes earlier mornings, evening sessions, and weekend sessions. The exact schedule will change weekly, according to our workload and your preferences.

The applicant should:
- Have 3+ years of experience as a traffic manager at a creative agency
- Have some experience in traditional project management activities such as planning, delegating and delivering to time and budget.
- Have excellent coordination and organisational skills; you should find it energising to multitask and thrive in a role requiring consistent juggling

- Have excellent interpersonal skills, and be comfortable working with collaborators around the world from diverse cultures and backgrounds
- Be able to think at the systems level, to identify and steer ways of continually optimising our systems for traffic management
- Be an adaptable team player and enjoy working in a collaborative environment.
Here’s what you would get out of it:
- Experience working with international organisations. The majority of our clients are from major intergovernmental agencies including the UN and OECD
- Be part of a friendly, engaged and supportive team
- Freedom to work from anywhere and to flexibly structure your own daily and weekly schedule according to project priorities
