A Bit About Us

At M+C Saatchi Group, our ambition is to create Cultural Power for our clients — a distinct advantage that harnesses the energy of culture to fuel desire, drive demand and deliver brand growth. We do this through constant creativity, cutting-edge tools, and brutally simple thinking that makes the complex compelling.

Our diverse, connected teams work without silos, engineered for growth and united by a belief that people are our superpower. We don’t just make campaigns — we create cultural relevance that shapes conversation, earns attention, and builds brands that truly matter.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a proactive Workflow Manager who will be responsible for the effective scheduling and movement of work across strategy, creative and craft design teams across the M+C Saatchi Group.

Working closely with the Creative Operations Director, you will ensure work is allocated to the right people at the right time, balancing capacity, capability and project priorities. Using Smartsheet and Resource Manager, our project management and scheduling tools, the Workflow Manager maintains visibility of team workload, supports accurate planning, and helps ensure projects move smoothly from briefing through to delivery.
