Store Opening Project Manager (Retail Concept and Construction Projects)

Hi there, potential colleague! Join us in our mission to become a driver of positive change in the eyewear industry.

Get ready to make a real impact in a certified B Corp as our new Store Opening Project Manager (Retail Concept and Construction Projects)

About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on Project Manager to oversee construction and fit-out projects from start to finish. This role requires someone who can think fast, see the bigger picture, and quickly understand the interdependencies between tasks, suppliers, and project phases. You’ll use Smartsheet or a similar project management tool to plan, track, and report progress—making sure everyone involved is aligned and projects run smoothly.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and Track Projects

  • Build and manage detailed project schedules (dependencies, timelines, milestones).
  • Anticipate risks, identify bottlenecks early, and propose solutions.
  • Keep budgets and timelines on track.

• Coordinate Teams & Partners

  • Act as the central link between contractors, architects, suppliers, and internal teams.
  • Make sure information flows clearly and quickly to the right people.
  • Follow up on open points and drive accountability.

• Deliver Quality Results

  • Ensure projects meet agreed quality standards and safety requirements.
  • Manage site handovers and close-out with minimal issues.
  • Track lessons learned for continuous improvement.

What We’re Looking For

• Have 3-4 years of Project Management experience in international retail construction
• Solid experience in managing construction, refurbishment, or fit-out projects.
• Strong experience with Smartsheet or similar project management tools (e.g. MS Project, Asana, Monday.com).
• A fast thinker who can connect the dots and understand project interdependencies.
• Highly organized, structured, and proactive.
• Strong communicator who can keep many moving parts aligned.
• Comfortable making decisions and solving problems under pressure.
• Formal degree not required—proven experience and results matter most.
• You don’t mind swapping the office for a train or plane every now and then (the role requires around 20% travel).

What's In It For You...

• A competitive salary
• A flexible hybrid work environment
• 25 holidays per year (based on full time) plus additional tenure based days (2 extra days after 1 year of work, and 3 days extra after 2 years of employment)
• Company pension plan
• Travel reimbursement if you live more than 10kms from our HQ
• Wellbeing: a collab with ClassPass and free access to unlimited mental health support via our partner OpenUp
• Continuous free updates of your eyewear collection plus great discounts!
• Daily nutritious lunch and healthy snacks
• Participation in events planned by our CultureClub (e.g. Borrel XXL, &talks, holiday gifting, ...)

Jeez, that was a lot. Still with us? If you are, and you’re thinking that you might fit this profile, we’d love to hear from you!

Excited, but in need of a bit more information? We are more than happy to welcome you here at our office (or somewhere else) for an introductory coffee.
