Project Executive / Project Coordinator

Location: Birmingham (Office Based)

Salary: £35,000 - £37,000 per annum

Are you highly organised, naturally proactive and thrive when juggling multiple priorities?

Our client is a fast-growing consumer products business looking for an ambitious Project Executive to join their commercial team. This is an exciting opportunity to work at the heart of a busy organisation where no two days are the same.

Working closely with a Senior Brand Manager, you'll play a pivotal role in bringing major product launches, marketing campaigns and nationwide retail projects to life. If you enjoy turning plans into action, coordinating multiple stakeholders and making sure every detail is delivered on time, we'd love to hear from you.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who has already gained experience within an FMCG, retail or consumer products environment and is looking to take the next step in their career.

You'll be responsible for coordinating multiple live projects simultaneously, ensuring every moving part comes together seamlessly.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the delivery of nationwide product launches and retail rollouts
• Coordinating projects from planning through to execution
• Managing project plans, timelines and progress trackers
• Working closely with internal departments including Brand, Sales, Marketing and Design
• Liaising with external suppliers, printers and logistics providers
• Coordinating the production and distribution of POS materials and marketing assets
• Monitoring project milestones and identifying potential risks before they become issues
• Preparing project updates and reports for senior management
• Supporting website content updates and digital marketing activity
• Assisting with project budgets and administration

This is a varied position where priorities can change quickly, so you'll need to be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and managing several projects at once.

We're looking for someone who enjoys being organised, takes ownership of their work and doesn't wait to be asked before getting things done.

You'll ideally have:

• Previous experience in a Project Coordinator, Project Executive, Brand Executive, Marketing Executive or similar role
• Experience within FMCG, retail, consumer goods or another fast-moving commercial environment
• Excellent organisational and planning skills
• The ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
• Strong communication skills with the confidence to work across different departments and external suppliers
• Good Microsoft Excel skills
• Excellent attention to detail
• A proactive, positive and solutions-focused approach

Experience using project management software such as Trello, (url removed) or Asana would be advantageous, although not essential.

• Salary of £35,000-£37,000 depending on experience
• Genuine career development opportunities within a growing business
• The chance to work on exciting national projects and product launches
• A collaborative, supportive and ambitious team environment
• Exposure to a wide variety of commercial projects that will accelerate your career

If you're someone who loves keeping projects on track, enjoys working at pace and takes pride in delivering exceptional results, we'd love to hear from you.
