Senior Project Manager - Retail Sector | London
About The Role
If you thrive in a fast-paced project environment and would enjoy delivering high-quality outcomes for some of the UK's most recognised retail brands, TSA Riley offers an exciting opportunity to take the next step in your career.
As our retail sector continues to grow, we are looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager to join our London team.
TSA Riley has built long-standing partnerships with many of the UK's leading retail organisations, providing project management, cost management, and advisory services that support the development, enhancement, and management of their property portfolios.
This is an excellent opportunity to become part of a growing and collaborative project management team, delivering a diverse range of retail projects. You will work across refurbishment and fit-out programmes for individual stores and regional portfolios, as well as larger-scale new-build developments, giving you exposure to varied and rewarding challenges.
To be successful in this role, you will bring proven experience in a client-facing project management position, ideally within a consultancy environment. You will have managed projects through the full project lifecycle, including both pre- and post-contract stages. A solid background in pre-contract project management is essential, including coordinating multidisciplinary teams during project inception and managing third-party legal agreements.
At TSA Riley, people are at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to creating an environment where everyone can thrive, with access to ongoing professional development, the right tools and resources, and a collaborative culture that encourages learning, innovation, and career progression. If you're looking to join a business that values expertise, supports ambition, and empowers its people to deliver exceptional outcomes, we'd love to hear from you.
About Your Responsibilities
- Leading end-to-end project delivery, ensuring alignment with agreed scope, budget, and programme targets.
- Coordinating project inputs across procurement, design, delivery planning, site activity, and contractor engagement.
- Building strong, trusted relationships with clients, consultants, and stakeholders through clear, responsive communication.
- Applying sound judgment to identify and manage risks, resolve issues, and capture opportunities early.
- Driving commercial performance through effective budget control, contract administration, and management of scope changes.
- Using TSA Riley's digital tools and systems to track progress, monitor risk, and support quality reporting.
- Ensuring compliance with project governance, quality, and safety frameworks.
- Leading and supporting team members with clear direction, regular feedback, and a focus on development and high performance.
- Supporting ongoing client growth by identifying opportunities and contributing to positive project outcomes.
- Contributing to business growth by supporting pipeline development, participating in bids and pursuits, and advancing sector initiatives.
