Bring the Confidence
Are you a relationship-focused, driven professional with a growth mindset? Do you thrive on breaking through challenges and excelling in competitive environments? You're not expected to have all the answers, but your passion for uncovering solutions and building strong partnerships makes you the perfect fit for this role. We’d love to hear from you!
The Senior Project Director is responsible for leading ICP's Mexico and US-based Project Management team, building strong client relationships, driving delivery excellence and supporting the successful execution of global content production and localisation programmes.
This is a highly client-facing leadership role that combines project leadership, people management and hands-on delivery responsibility within ICP's global content ecosystem. The successful candidate will act as a trusted partner to both clients and internal stakeholders, ensuring projects are delivered efficiently, commercially and to the highest standard.
This is not a traditional shoot production, broadcast production, network production or experiential production role. Whilst those disciplines may occasionally intersect with our work, the majority of ICP's output sits within content adaptation, localisation, versioning, digital content production and multi-market content delivery for global brands.
The role requires an experienced leader who is equally comfortable guiding senior client conversations, coaching project managers, solving delivery challenges and remaining actively involved in key accounts when required.
Based in Mexico City, the role will lead the Mexico-based PM team whilst also supporting project management leadership across our US-based resource. Excellent written and spoken English is essential, as the role involves daily communication with US clients, global stakeholders and senior leadership.
