Role Overview

We are looking for a hands-on Project Manager to own the end-to-end execution of our new store launches. The ideal candidate has proven experience managing retail fit-outs or construction projects on-site, thrives in fast-paced environments, and is confident coordinating multiple vendors and stakeholders simultaneously.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end project management of new store openings — from site handover through to launch day
• Travel to project sites across India to supervise construction, fit-out, and installation progress
• Manage and coordinate contractors, interior designers, and vendors to ensure adherence to timelines, quality standards, and brand specifications
• Track project milestones, budgets, and deliverables; escalate risks and resolve on-ground issues proactively
• Liaise with internal teams including design, visual merchandising, and compliance to ensure alignment at every stage
• Maintain accurate project documentation — timelines, vendor contracts, progress reports, and punch lists
• Ensure all stores are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest brand standards

Required Qualifications & Skills

• 3–6 years of project management experience with mandatory on-site exposure (retail fit-outs, interiors, or commercial construction preferred)
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple vendor relationships and negotiate effectively
• Willingness and ability to travel across India — this is non-negotiable
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage parallel workstreams
• Proficient in project tracking tools and MS Office / Google Workspace
• Good communication skills — able to coordinate across field teams, vendors, and senior leadership
• Calm under pressure, solutions-oriented, and comfortable working independently in the field

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience in retail store rollouts
• Familiarity with store design, MEP, signage, and visual merchandising coordination
• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Architecture, Project Management, or a related field

What We Offer

• A pivotal role in building one of India's most exciting jewellery brands
• A dynamic, entrepreneurial environment with direct leadership access
• Competitive compensation commensurate with experience
