About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

We are looking for a Project Manager to support our client’s Store Design team in luxury beauty.
The Project Manager is a pivotal role within the team, sitting at the intersection of design operations, project management, and financial oversight.
You will serve as the strategic right hand to the department leader, providing a unified, real-time view across several beauty brands.
You will help creating, owning and evolving the project tracking ecosystem across teams, ensuring every Store Design project's status, vendor, budget, and timeline is visible and actionable at a glance.
Partnering daily with the leaders and the design teams, you will keep information accurate and up to date.
Create and manage a budget tracker covering capital spending and purchase orders, providing a live financial pulse across the scope of the division.
You will receive and take over capital spending requests initiated by the team and own the process from that point forward: opening purchase orders, tracking actuals against budget, and ensuring all financial data is current and accurate across brands.
Monthly and quarterly financial reporting and cross-department coordination with finance and the Store Design team will be core to your rhythm.
Beyond the numbers, you bring a creative sensibility to the work, understanding the design intent behind each project, communicating effectively with design leads, and ensuring that creative and operational priorities stay aligned throughout every project lifecycle.
