Project Director

Location: Stanstead, Essex

Department: Graphics / Project Management

Reports to: Chief Operating Officer

Role type: Full-time

Salary: Up to £75k DOE

The Company 

A Creative Manufacturing company for live events, exhibitions, and branded spaces.

They bring together design, project management, large format print, manufacturing, logistics, and installation under one roof. This allows them to deliver high-impact environments with greater control, stronger communication, and a better experience for their clients.

As the business continues to grow, they are looking for a Project Director to lead their entire project delivery function, sit on the Senior Leadership Team, and help shape the future of the business.

The Role

The Project Director is a senior leadership role and a member of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT). Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, the Project Director is accountable for the entire project delivery function, including the Senior Project Manager, Project Managers, and Project Coordinator.

This role exists to build, lead, and elevate a high-performing project management function capable of delivering complex projects consistently, profitably, and to the highest standard.

As an SLT member, the Project Director contributes directly to the strategic direction of the business. You will have a voice in business planning, growth, capability, investment, and operational priorities, and you will be accountable for translating that strategy into the way projects are resourced, delivered, and improved.

This is a hands-on leadership role that balances strategic oversight with day-today involvement. The Project Director sets standards, drives accountability, supports development, and ensures the team operates as a unified, motivated, and commercially aware group.

Success in this role is measured by the strength and capability of the team, the consistency and quality of project delivery, the commercial performance of the function, and the confidence clients have in the companies ability to deliver.

The role is mainly office-based in Stanstead, with travel to client meetings, event venues, and installations where required.

Experience Required

You will have a senior project leadership background with experience running a function, not just a team. Experience in the following areas is expected:

Leading project management teams or functions in a fast-paced delivery environment
Large format print, exhibitions, events, branded environments, or creative production
Commercial and operational responsibility for a delivery function (margin, resourcing, performance)
Building team capability through recruitment, development, and standards
Senior client relationship management
Ownership of quality standards such as ISO and ESSA, including audits and accreditation
Continuous improvement of systems, processes, and reporting
Experience contributing at SLT or equivalent senior leadership level is highly desirable.If this opportunity feels like the right next move for you, we'd be delighted to hear from you. Please submit your updated CV, and a member of KRG will contact you for a confidential discussion about the role.
