Open positions
Director of Delivery
Wildly original ideas need room to develop and a clear path into the world. The Director of Project Management (Delivery) creates the conditions for RP3’s people to do the best work of their careers. You bring together Account Leadership, Strategy, Creative, Media, and Content, making sure the right talent, time, information, and resources are in place to turn ambitious ideas into work that delivers results.
You lead RP3’s Delivery team and continually improve how work moves through the agency. You anticipate needs, raise issues early, and make thoughtful decisions that protect creative quality, team capacity, and project profitability. We’re a small team with big ambitions. As RP3 grows, you’ll build ways of working that can grow with us—so we can take on more opportunity while protecting the creative quality, personal attention, and close collaboration that make us RP3. You also personally manage everyday creative assignments and larger client projects from brief through delivery. Hands-on, client-facing project leadership is a core, ongoing part of the role.
THE MISSION
Make doing great work easier
Create a simple, intuitive, repeatable way of working so people know where to go, what to do, who owns what, and what happens next, without unnecessary layers.
Give wildly original thinking the time, talent, and clarity it needs to become exceptional work. Build simple, flexible ways of working that help people move confidently together and deliver strong results for our clients and the agency.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
In your first year, people should be able to say:
“We’re doing our best work and how we work together makes that possible.”
“We trust our plans, deliver on our commitments, and see the results in our work and our business.”
People have more time and energy for the work itself. Creative teams have realistic time to develop ideas, client commitments are reliable, and leadership can confidently assess capacity and project financial health.
You are accountable for improving on-time delivery, budget performance, project margin and profitability, forecast accuracy, resource utilization, scope-change capture and recovery, and workflow adoption. Teams experience clearer priorities, smoother handoffs, and fewer avoidable surprises.
Establish baselines and agree on measurable targets with agency leadership and Finance.
