About the Consultancy

A London-based retail project management consultancy delivering store refurbishment and new store construction for market leading high street and luxury brands, both in the UK and internationally.

The work spans concept stores through to international flagships, and the team is built around long-standing client relationships, technical depth, and a genuinely high standard of service.

The Role

As a Project Manager, you'll take responsibility for leading the delivery of store refurbishment and new store construction projects from inception through to completion.

You'll provide guidance and leadership to internal and external teams alike, including clients, designers, consultants, and contractors, holding the programme, the cost, and the quality together while delivering a market leading standard of service.

What matters most

Strong experience and knowledge of luxury fashion retail is the key requirement for this role.

You'll understand how luxury fashion brands operate and what they expect on site: brand standards and guidelines applied without compromise, close working with in-house and global design teams, high specification finishes, joinery, stone, metalwork, lighting, and visual merchandising, and the level of detailing and tolerance a flagship demands. You'll also be familiar with the practical realities of prime retail locations, including landlord and centre requirements, restricted access and out-of-hours working, and delivering around live trading.

Experience across a range of retail formats in the UK and internationally is important, but it is the luxury fashion end of the market where you'll need real depth. xwzovoh
