Store Development Project Manager

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. 

• 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.

• 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.
