About The Position
Our purpose at Festive Road is simple; to create better travel and meetings management. We are driven by the impact we can have with our clients and our desire to create lasting change in the industry. Our values represent the very essence of who we are and why we do the work in the way we do it. We are fiercely independent, only working with and for the buyer client community. Our airtight integrity fosters complete transparency. We have the courage to say what needs to be said, even when it’s hard. Each roader is authentic, empowered and unique. If the work we’re doing doesn’t truly make a difference for our clients or the industry at large, we simply won’t do it. These attributes underpin the way we work, it’s our special sauce. Do you have a passion for organisation and structure? Do you love to find new ways? Do you have a curious nature? If so, this is a unique opportunity to create better T&E programs for some of the most innovative buyers in the industry. The project manager role at Festive Road plays a pivotal role in creating better for our clients. This role keeps the project team organised and is the project lead’s right hand with programme assessments, strategy & programme design, supplier sourcing, implementation and programme management. In this role you’ll get to work with some of the industry’s most innovative companies and teams and will collaborate with our amazing Hive Mind. Nothing about this role is average. We need a driven project manager with a can-do attitude, who can keep projects running smoothly with minimal oversight. So, if this sounds exciting, let’s talk!
