About Creed Media

Creed Media Group is a leading global creator marketing agency in music and entertainment. Started in Stockholm in 2018, today we work with the world's biggest artists, labels, platforms, and brands to engineer the moments that break culture and convert attention into measurable growth.

We run two business units. Music works with record labels and artist managers. Brands works with partners who hire us to turn culture into brand outcomes. Today, we are a trusted agency to some of the biggest names in music, entertainment, and consumer brands.

Our mission: To Master Attention and Break Culture.

The Role

We're bringing on a Senior Project Manager to own client engagements end to end, from strategy through delivery. You are the client's primary day to day partner, the person they trust to translate ambition into a plan and a plan into results.

You carry full ownership of scope, team, budget, and quality. You don't wait for direction, you spot where a client relationship can grow and you shape the next opportunity yourself, in partnership with the Head of Brands. You move comfortably between the strategic conversation and the operational one, one moment framing a communication strategy, the next making sure a production deadline holds.

Every client is different. Some want sharp, ongoing social content. Others want a full strategic launch plan for a brand or product. You read which one you're in, come up with the ideas that get you there, and hold everyone, client, artist, creators, and your own team, together to make it happen. On larger projects you'll work alongside a strategist or a creative, but day to day the idea starts with you.

This is a role for someone who wants a portfolio of real client relationships, not a queue of tickets.

Portfolios vary depending on the client mix. Some are built around two or three smaller clients, some around a single major account, some around two mid sized ones. Enough to build real depth in each, not so many that you're only administering them.

What you'll do

• Own the strategic and operational relationship with assigned clients as their main point of contact.
• Own the idea. Depending on the project you either develop the concept yourself or drive it together with a strategist or a creative, but you're never just executing someone else's brief.
• Lead client communication, align on objectives, manage expectations, and drive clear decision making.
• Spot and shape growth opportunities with existing clients, from proposal to pricing recommendation.
• Lead strategic development of communication and marketing plans for your clients, with the Head of Brands as a sounding board on larger engagements.
• Own planning, execution, and evaluation of campaigns and always on initiatives, on time, on budget, at Creed quality.
• Own budgets, resourcing, and profitability tracking for your engagements.
• Drive and protect creative quality across the process, from the first idea through to final approval.
• Lead the project team on your engagements, and coach and develop direct reports where the client setup includes them.
• Establish KPIs together with client and team, and turn performance data into recommendations.
• Produce recurring client reporting on outcomes, learnings, and next opportunities.

Cadence: weekly pipeline and account review with Head of Brands, recurring client reporting cycles (e.g. quarterly).

This role is for someone who treats a client relationship like a craft, who reads a brief and immediately sees ways to make the work better, and who gets real energy from leading a room, whether that room is a client, a creative team, or both at once.

What sits outside the role

• Executional craft. You're not the one behind the camera, in the edit, or doing art direction. You own the idea and the quality bar, not the production itself.
• New business hunting on unassigned accounts (separate BD function, separate quota).
• Final commercial or pricing strategy at company level.

Who you are

Must have:

• Solid experience leading client engagements end to end, ideally within a creative, entertainment, or marketing agency.
• Conceptual and strategic idea generation. You can take a brief and come back with an original idea and a clear rationale for why it works. This is a daily part of the role, not an occasional one.
• Track record owning budgets, timelines, and profitability on your projects.
• Comfortable leading both the strategic conversation and the operational delivery, not just one or the other.
• Experience leading others, whether as direct reports or as project teams you've run.
• Strong stakeholder management. You hold together everyone in the room, client, artist, creators, internal team and suppliers, making sure the right people are in the right place at the right time, while still driving the strategic thinking. You resolve friction without escalating it.
• Interest across music, entertainment, and consumer brands. You don't need deep expertise in all three, but you're genuinely curious about how culture and commerce meet.
• Stockholm based and on site.
• Fluent Swedish and English.

Nice to have:

• A strong feel for craft. You understand what good looks like on social and in advertising, and you can brief and give feedback to creators and editors with precision, even though you're not the one producing.

What we offer

• A real portfolio to build. You won't inherit a static book of accounts, you'll grow the relationships you own and shape what they become.
• A platform to lead from. Creed's track record with some of the biggest names in music, entertainment, and brands gives your work real weight from day one.
• Direct visibility. You'll work closely with the Head of Brands, and the work you lead will be visible at company level.
• A team in motion. Things move fast, priorities shift, and you'll often operate with incomplete information. If that energizes you, you'll fit.
• Most agencies split strategy, client ownership and delivery across three people. Here it sits with you, which means you see the whole line from idea to result. As Brands grows, so will the team around you.
