Havas Studios people are entrepreneurial, ambitious, smart, collaborative, and down to earth.

The Role

You will be the day-to-day lead of a team of integrated Project Managers, Designers and Developers, on Havas Studios’ newest client.

The client is a major retail client – consisting of a lead, halo brand, and a number of sub brands. We will be handling all print POS for each of their brands. You will be responsible for day-to-day contacts on both brand and internal studio side.

Relationship management is incredibly key to this role. This mostly print based client is fast paced and complex, so we need you will need to be ready and happy to regularly interact with senior stakeholders.

Your support in onboarding new ways of working and assisting with the day-to-day change will be invaluable. You must understand how to maintain and refine (where/when needed), best practice production across onsite/offsite production teams.

This is a not a task that we expect you to take on alone. You will be supporting a team who will support the delivery of projects through the peaks and troughs of the client’s content calendar.

On-brand and engaging content, cost-saving and process efficiency are the client’s main focal points, so this role is a vital part of the team and key to the overall success in building a successful partnership with the brand.

You will report into the overall client service lead at Havas Studios, keeping them up to date on project scopes, workloads, resourcing, finance, and future opportunities.

Ultimately, your responsibilities will be:

● Maintaining and growing strong relationships with client/agency contacts, through constant communication, creative thinking and problem-solving.

A pair of troublemaking slackers have 72 hours to save their failing used car dealership, their friendship, and themselves.  

Synopsis 

Stuck in a dead-end sales job at a shady dealership, Brandon and Leo were always destined for mediocrity. But when their boss gets arrested and things take a turn for the better (or the worse?) at work, the duo have a chance to finally step up and make something of themselves. Between keeping the IRS off their backs and a rival dealership off their case, dealing with the women, weed, and occasional 2 hour employee lunch break seems like light work. The road back to respectability is a long, bumpy test drive.
