Jason Bruges Studio are looking for an enthusiastic and solution focused project lead to join our vibrant studio. Working mainly on a large-scale project for the Middle East, you’ll uphold the high standard of work within the studio as well as drive this international commission forward.

The role involves managing the day-to-day delivery of a project, from developing concepts right through to final production – managing key client stakeholders, the internal design team and suppliers throughout the process. You will work closely with our design manager to ensure the project creative is to the highest standard, and also with our studio manager to ensure the correct resource is allocated.

A sense of resilience and humour are a must. We approach everything we do with exploration and excitement, and we need someone who will be an extension of this.

The contract will be a rolling three month contract for the duration of the specific project (likely 12 months) with the possibility of extension or permanent role should we find the right cultural fit and skill-set.

Relevant skills and experience

able to negotiate with and confidently manage a variety of suppliers
confident in switching between multiple tasks at any one time
strong Microsoft software package skills including Project, Word, Excel and possibly Mac Keynote
experience of working with Middle Eastern clients a bonus, but not a necessity

Behaviours:

a genuine interest in the interactive art installation sector
a flexible and creative approach to working within a team and with clients
impeccable communication and able to transfer complex scenarios into layman terms
keeping up to date with developments in design/architectural regulations
self-starter and ability to inspire and motivate others
