This is an outstanding opportunity for someone with strong experience in retail displays and project leadership who’s looking to step into a senior-level role, ultimately heading up a business unit and leading a growing team.

The Role

As Project Manager, you’ll take ownership of client relationships and projects from initial brief through to final installation. You’ll coordinate internal teams and external partners to bring high-end retail concepts to life, managing budgets, timelines, and expectations with precision.

3. Collaborate with internal teams (production, design, logistics) and external suppliers to execute project goals
4. Lead project planning, quoting, forecasting, and installation
5. Take a proactive role in managing client expectations and resolving challenges
6. Mentor and support junior members of the team as the department scales
7. Estimate and cost your own projects
8. Work closely with senior leadership to contribute to business growth and strategic success

What We’re Looking For

1. Proven project management experience within retail displays, visual merchandising, or POS/POP
2. Strong understanding of materials and manufacturing processes
3. Excellent commercial awareness and decision-making ability
4. Outstanding communication, leadership, and people management skills
5. Confident managing luxury fashion or high-end retail clients (a strong advantage)
6. Experience working on international projects is desirable
7. Highly organised, driven, and client-focused with a proactive mindset
8. A background in manufacturing or hands-on production knowledge is a plus

Why Join?

1. Work on premium and high-profile projects with global brands
2. Become a key player in a growing, innovative agency with real career progression
3. Opportunity to lead your own department and make a tangible business impact
