We are seeking an experienced IT Project Manager to support a programme of new retail store openings on a fixed-term basis.

  • Identify and manage risks, dependencies, and issues; escalate appropriately

  • Produce clear, timely project reporting for senior stakeholders

  • Liaise across EMEA time zones to maintain programme momentum

ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS

  • Demonstrable project management experience, ideally with a recognised methodology (PRINCE2, PMP, or equivalent)

  • Proven track record delivering technology projects in a retail environment

  • New store openings experience is a strong advantage

  • Practical knowledge of network infrastructure, retail technology, and AV systems

  • Immediately available or able to start by 20 April 2025

  • East coast based preferred to support EMEA coordination windows

  • Strong communicator — able to manage multiple workstreams and diverse stakeholder groups simultaneously
