FULL-TIME • AMSTERDAM
Who are we?
The beating heart of Boomerang Agency is its people: the suite of designers, creatives, strategists, producers and managers who are passionate about people, communication and culture. Collectively we’re driven, talented, quirky, bold, playful and when put together in an office, we can get pretty ‘effing loud. No matter if we’re loud or quiet, we suspect we’re having more fun than most.
As an agency, we make memorable and playful content, from social media to TV commercials. We are obsessed with actualities and the daily news stream on the internet plays a big part in that. We have a can-do attitude and we believe teamwork always brings you more.
We’re street-smart and social by nature. We know more than just what people like; we know how they talk, why they laugh and how they connect. From creatives and producers, to filmmakers, copywriters, sound designers and influencers - we have all the in-house tools to help brands be more human by sparking authentic conversations between companies and people.
What will you be doing?
Our Project Managers are the connectors of Boomerang Agency. You are the connection between the agency, the client and other external parties. You make sure work gets done so the client gets what they need - on time and within budget. You are constantly multi-tasking and communicating with several layers of the organization. It’s a diverse job, but still, there are some returning elements. The most important one is having fun with the team. But Project Managers like a little structure, so
we’ve made a list of your most important responsibilities:
• You are the connection between the client, the agency and other external stakeholders;
• You support the Medior and Senior Project Managers in their day-to-day business, but you also take on your own projects and clients. Work from briefing towards the delivery of dynamic state-of-the-art social assets and/or campaigns;
You are in touch with clients and external parties and make sure we receive all necessary input from them;
• You assist in planning projects, creating budgets and delivering content on time and within budget;
• You help managing the calendars of the Creatives and regularly check-up on them;
• You check the status of projects and deadlines and report to the Medior and Senior Project Managers;
• You do administrative work, such as keeping track of deliveries and costs or maintaining our content sharing platform.
Who are we looking for?
• You have 0-2 years of experience in a similar role (e.g. in a digital agency or for a brand);
• You are proactive, responsible, solution-oriented, independent and able to handle stress;
• You know how to organise and keep overview and find pleasure in doing this;
• You have a good sense of humor. Or a bad sense of humor. As long as you have a sense of humor;
• You are fluent in Dutch and English, both verbally and in writing. Any other languages would be extra cool.
What do we have to offer?
A challenging job in a vibrant workspace and more clichés. You’ll receive a competitive salary, a Macbook, awesome company outings and a discount on your ClassPass. Our Amsterdam Noord office is bursting with life and creative energy on a daily basis, and somehow, we always manage to skip through the madhouse with a smile on our faces. Working at Boomerang is a party, and we’ll bring the glitter. If it’s your birthday, that is. Interested? Apply through the button below.
Job descriptions can be difficult to interpret and we understand that you might feel like you don't tick all of the above boxes. Truth is, we don’t either. If you feel excited about our vacancies, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’d love to hear from you!
