Product Project Manager

Company Background

Adylic is a digital agency, delivering creative strategies and ad production across a variety of screens, formats, clients and verticals.​

 ​

Our core specialism is in the design and production of Dynamic adverts, often served under programmatic advertising, and known as DCO (Dynamic Creative Optimisation).​

 ​

We are wholly owned by Omnicom Media Group, delivering unique proximity and seamless integration to the media agencies and their data-driven audience targeting & media planning processes (alongside OMD, PHD and H&S globally).​

​

But whilst we benefit from the strength and backing of a major advertising and media network, we have stayed true to our roots with the culture and atmosphere of a start-up, and all the energy and opportunity for talent that it brings.​

 ​

Adylic is comprised of a wide-ranging and talented bunch of specialists, from creative strategists, designers, developers, analysts, technicians and relationship managers.​

 ​

Using data resources, creative thinking, and the smart use of technology (some of which is proprietary to us!), we produce ​

beautiful data-driven, audience-first creative, optimised to deliver against our client’s KPIs. ​

 ​

Above all, we have produced some amazingly cool – and effective – work for our clients across the world, including Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, McDonald’s, Canon, Pepsi, Barclays, HSBC, Levi’s & many more!​

Our Culture

Adylic is proud of its culture and ability to foster progression in an open and challenging working environment. From our vast range of social clubs including Yoga, running and arts, to our Diversity & Inclusion committees, which cover a wide range of educational topics on a monthly basis. ​

​

We pride ourselves on the people we hire and encouraging them to grow beyond their day-to-day role. We support an open and inclusive team ​structure and encourage all our hires to get involved in a range of projects and learning outside of their roles, for their own personal development. ​

Being owned by the Omnicom Media Group enables us to be part of wider global programmes, whilst always maintaining our small agency initiatives and staying true to our ‘start up’ roots.​​

​

We have recently moved to the Omnicom hub at Bankside, which houses all Omnicom media agencies (OMD, PHD, MG OMD) and around 1,000 media professionals. It is closely situated to London Bridge, The Shard and Borough Market, with plenty of post work activities on our doorstep! ​

The Challenge

You will be working alongside product owners and a team of software developers to lead the smooth delivery of a range of projects relating to our in-house developed ad building and deployment SaaS platform, ‘Orca’. Orca is used by Adylic’s internal teams, external clients and media agencies to create and deploy personalised ads for client advertising campaigns and is currently undergoing a greenfield update. ​

We are looking for a candidate who is a capable and confident communicator with a proven ability to lead teams in the delivery of software solutions. You will be accountable for ensuring any blockers for the team are resolved in a timely manner, and that all parts of the team are communicating effectively at all levels and working in harmony and to deadlines. You will demonstrate a detailed and intimate knowledge of the projects and products that you are leading and their current status. ​

Additionally, you will work closely with the technical leads to ensure that projects are aligned with the technical priorities of the team and the company. You will maintain a process to monitor and track releases and deployments. ​

You will need to be energetic, organised, decisive and proactive to ensure that your projects are planned, monitored and delivered efficiently. You will facilitate the right environment for the team to succeed, helping them to self-organise and create a culture of learning and transparency. ​
