What would a Localisation Project Manager (Freelance On-site) do at Hogarth? 

As a Localisation Project Manager (Freelance On-site), you'd be responsible for project managing localisation work for our client's Marketing Communication materials across different platforms. Working closely with our client's Marcom Project Managers and a network of creative talents from various markets across South East Asia (SEA), you'd also engage with other cross-functional teams of producers and project managers to ensure work is delivered on time, on quality and within budget. You'd constantly need to communicate and negotiate priorities and deadlines with internal and external teams to ensure expectations are well managed. Your primary tasks include organising and coordinating schedules, distributing workload, tracking progress of projects.

We require a dedicated, full-time freelance Project Manager, available to start in July, who can reliably commit to on-site work at our client's One North location. Project assignments will involve 3-5 weeks of full-time, on-site presence each week. There will be 4-5 on-site engagements per year - hence we need a freelancer who can commit to on-site work arrangement.
