Project Manager Design Development at Rituals

At Rituals, we believe it’s the thoughtful details and carefully curated moments that create meaningful experiences for our customers. The striking window displays, captivating in-store installations, and inspiring retail pop-ups that characterise our brand are the result of precise planning and operational excellence.

As a Project Manager, you’ll lead the end-to-end implementation of projects for all lines of business, mostly directly linked to the marketing calendar, from promotional displays & styling items, to podiums and shop windows or pop-ups in iconic destinations like Bijenkorf or Galeries Lafayette. You’ll oversee the full design and production but also the roll-out process, coordinate with international markets, and keep a sharp eye on both timelines and budgets. With 20-30 projects running at different stages at any given time, your ability to stay organised and calm under pressure will be essential.

In this role (32-40 hours per week), you will:

• Lead and manage design development projects from concept to completion, ensuring on-time and on-budget delivery.
• Collaborate closely with Designers, Visual Merchandising, Marketing, local country teams, and external suppliers.
• Develop and maintain project plans, schedules, and budgets, always seeking ways to be savvy, both financially and in our sustainability efforts.
• Act as the main point of contact for project stakeholders, providing clear updates and addressing feedback.
• Take initiative, show entrepreneurship, and actively contribute to improving existing projects and processes.

This is a role for someone operationally sharp, passionate about flawless execution, and naturally proactive in finding solutions.

You’ll bring:

• 5+ years’ experience as a Project Manager within retail, creative industries, or high-volume project environments.
• A good understanding of design development and retail implementation processes.
• Strong stakeholder management skills.
• A natural ability to maintain oversight while staying close to key operational details.
• A sharp eye for detail and the confidence to make fast, logical decisions under pressure.
• Comfort working in dynamic, fast-paced environments where priorities can shift quickly.
• Proficiency with various project/planning tools, and a mindset for optimising processes.

Within the Format & Design department, you’ll join a close-knit team of 7 passionate colleagues, all dedicated to creating meaningful retail experiences. If bringing creative ideas to life through seamless project delivery excites you, we’d love to hear from you!
