Project Manager
Why are we hiring?
ClerksWell is expanding.
We’re working with new industries, new clients and new technologies. We’re taking on bigger, better, more complicated projects because we’re good at it.
As we expand, we need more people. We need new, shiny talented people with passion and ideas.
About ClerksWell
We’re an award-winning digital agency based in London Bridge. Our CEO and CTO met in the UK’s first ever internet café, and 25 years later, they’re still working together! In that time, they’ve brought together a highly ambitious and vibrant team of experts in UX/UI, web design and build and Microsoft 365 configuration. While we’re specialists in user-centred websites and employee-focused digital workplaces, we also love to learn. Every individual who joins our company is encouraged to share their previous experience, and work with their team to build on it for our future.
We love the work we do, and we’re looking for someone to join a great team to help us do it better!
