ABOUT RAPP / Code

We stand up for individuality. We actively foster an inclusive workplace where diversity and individual difference are valued and leveraged to achieve the agency’s vision. And most importantly we value every individual’s wellbeing.  

As a diversity champion, equal opportunities and disability confident employer and an ardent advocate of flexible working we understand that everyone has unique requirements and needs.

We are a global creative agency, but the individual really is at the heart of everything we do. We use data to find out what makes them tick. We use technology to talk to them one-to-one – but to one million at a time. And we use creativity to encourage them to engage, click, buy and bond, again and again.  

Each brand is unique and has its own individual challenges. We pride ourselves in rising to each and every one of them, for brands such as KFC, Mercedes Benz, IKEA, Paypal and Virgin Media 02.

Us

In order to foster collaboration and relationships, our hybrid model requires three office days per week. As equal opportunities proponents, we are open to discuss any hybrid working related needs during the initial screening.

Learning and Development is important. We all know that. Its why we have a dedicated Learning and Development team and offer regular career conversations and bespoke L&D programmes so that you can leave us with more than when you started.

We recognise that the work of diversity, equity and inclusion calls on all of us. That’s why we set up The Neighbourhood. A collective of people, at different stages of the DE&I journey, whether impacted or allies, dedicated to helping our colleagues take ownership and effect change across 4 key pillars; Anti-racism, Disability, Gender & LGBTQ+ and Parents & Carers.

The Health and Wellbeing of our people matters immensely. We offer Coaching opportunities for all through our partnerships with Sanctus (mental health partner who provides online coaching; you can talk about anything, personal or professional) and Sayge (1:1 professional development coaching program). We have 40 trained Mental Health First Aiders across the agency and have Babylon Health (Private GP service) for all.

You’re better at work when you feel better in yourself.  So, in addition to your annual holiday, you can take a “Me” day and an “Us” day, every year. Your “Me” day is for you to invest in yourself – go after a life goal, meditate, learn to paint, bake cakes or just have a duvet day watching Netflix!

Your “Us” day is all about giving back and helping others – volunteer, pick litter at a local park, hang out with the elderly or raise money for a local charity.

We’re progressive and always open to new initiatives, for example we’ve recently partnered with Fertifa (Leading Fertility and Reproductive Health benefit providers). Because we know the journey to becoming a family isn’t always easy (that includes men too), and we support our people through that journey whether you are new parent, experiencing the menopause, or anything else in between.

Whatever stage of life you are at, we make sure you have the tools you need to have a healthy work life balance.

You

As Project Manager you are the owner of the client projects – you are the one who knows how to make things happen. You are the master of the execution and process from project initiation to delivery. You are solutions-oriented, organized, and collaborative and have exceptional people skills. This is a pivotal role within one of the key RAPP accounts, working on a high-end fashion brand.

We deliver CRM campaigns from original client brief through strategy, data and marketing science, build, data management, deployment and reporting. This role will help ensure defined workflow is being followed and campaigns are tracked and managed through the delivery lifecycle.

You’ll be integral in supporting delivery and ensuring account efficiencies through RAPP offices and with the client.

We’re looking for an independent and confident individual who is process driven. Ideally well versed in CRM systems and technology and data literate. A self-starter, who isn’t fazed by a strong team (in multiple locations), fast-paced delivery and a client with evolving strategies and challenges. You must be able to support the account team to ensure on-time and accurate delivery of the multiple campaign components. Campaigns are largely email focused at present but will soon be expanding out through all digital channels.

The Opportunity

• Management and delivery of sophisticated CRM marketing and data driven initiatives from initial brief through to planning, data, build and deployment
• Keep projects moving forward smoothly, develop project plans for new work, efficiently manage + communicate milestones throughout the project lifecycle, proactively mitigate risks and be comfortable adapting to changes from inception to delivery of projects.
• Manage account/project-related meetings including weekly account status meetings, client meetings, internal reviews, etc. Issue and/or ensure issuance of timely contract reports.
• Maintaining project level status documentation and reporting both client facing and internally.
• Process management; ensuring the team aligns to the process and deliverables required, while constantly looking to adjust and manoeuvre as different conflicts and challenges arise.
• Manage simultaneous projects within priority and schedule constraints.
• Collaborate with disciplines across the agency to deliver the highest quality of work
• Optimize production workflows and processes with a goal of constant improvement

The next Opportunity

RAPP is a large agency with opportunity to grow your skills across multiple disciplines from CRM to Creative, MarSci & Software builds; across multiple brands in varied market sectors, automotive, financial, healthcare & wellbeing, travel & leisure etc as well as to step up to more senior PM roles to Project Director & Programme level roles.

Recruitment process

We’re not a 9 stage interview process agency. We like to keep recruitment swift, lean and individual and find that 2 or 3 stages gives all parties the opportunity to get to know each other. Plus we have a team on hand to answer questions throughout the process.

We are RAPP. And we can’t wait to meet you.
