Store Development Project Manager

About this role

As the Store Development Project Manager, you will own the existing store portfolio, mapping every store’s layout, fixtures, condition, and lifecycle stage to build a single source of truth for the business. You will use this data to identify where refits, upgrades, or repairs are needed, and manage these projects end-to-end — from scoping and budgeting through contractor coordination and delivery — covering lighter-touch works as well as select larger capital projects.

Partnering closely with Store Operations, Store Management, and Facilities, you will align every intervention with trading calendars and day-to-day operations to keep disruption to a minimum, while also supporting select new development projects alongside the Expansion Store Development Director. Your work will directly shape how the existing store network performs, keeping the portfolio safe, on-brand, and commercially strong.

This role offers real ownership and strategic impact, with the opportunity to build lasting cross-functional relationships across Retail, Operations, and Facilities. What You Will Do Map and maintain a structured, up-to-date record of existing store data — layout, fixtures, condition, and lifecycle stage — to give the business a single source of truth on the store portfolio. Build and prioritize a pipeline of refit, upgrade, and repair interventions in partnership with the Head of Retail and Head of Operations.

Manage refit and upgrade projects end-to-end, including scoping, budgeting, scheduling, and contractor and vendor coordination, some of which may require building permits. Partner with Store Operations and Facilities to align project scope and timing with trading calendars, store hours, and operational constraints, minimizing disruption to trading. Track budgets, timelines, and status across all active interventions, and report progress to the Store Development Lead.

Ensure all refit and upgrade work meets brand, visual merchandising, and safety standards. Build and maintain relationships with contractors and suppliers, sequencing their work efficiently across the portfolio. Support select new store development projects alongside the Expansion Store Development Director. Who You Are Experience in retail store development, facilities management, construction project management, or a similar multi-site environment.
