About Scarlet Royal

Scarlet Royal is a Dubai-based branding and digital agency working with ambitious businesses across the UAE and wider GCC region.

We deliver multidisciplinary projects covering brand strategy, visual identity, websites, digital products, marketing, content, and customer experience. Our teams combine strategic, creative, technical, and commercial expertise to deliver work that is both distinctive and effective.

We are looking for an experienced Project Manager to manage client projects from approved scope and project kickoff through delivery, launch, and closure.

The Role

As Project Manager, you will be the central coordination point between clients and Scarlet Royal’s internal teams.

You will be responsible for ensuring that projects are clearly planned, properly documented, delivered on time, and managed within the agreed scope and budget. You will coordinate multidisciplinary teams, maintain clear communication with clients, identify risks early, and ensure that every project progresses in a structured and professional manner.

The ideal candidate understands how creative and digital projects are delivered and can balance client expectations, team capacity, quality, commercial constraints, and deadlines.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage review rounds and approvals according to the agreed project scope.

• Identify scope changes and ensure additional requests are documented, estimated, and approved before work begins.

• Work with management to prepare change requests, revised timelines, or additional quotations when required.

• Monitor project profitability, planned hours, resource allocation, and commercial performance.

• Escalate risks, delays, capacity issues, and client concerns before they impact delivery.

• Support quality assurance and ensure deliverables are reviewed internally before client submission.

• Coordinate final delivery, launch readiness, file handover, documentation, and project closure.

• Conduct project retrospectives and capture lessons for future improvements.
