  • Work alongside the Head of Brand Partnerships to support strategic project planning and prioritisation across the department's experiential portfolio.
  • Collaborate closely with Creative Vision during concept development, ensuring ideas are commercially viable, operationally feasible and aligned with agreed customer, commercial and brand KPIs.
  • Lead the delivery of Selfridges-led creative initiatives within key retail spaces, including Selfridges Creative schemes and seasonal customer moments.
  • Finalise project retail briefs in partnership with Buying and Retail teams, ensuring activations maximise customer engagement, commercial opportunity and operational excellence.
  • Drive contracting processes alongside Legal, Procurement and Commercial teams, ensuring appropriate governance, approvals and contractual obligations are delivered efficiently.
  • Identify project and calendar risks, dependencies and potential blockers early, implementing mitigation plans and escalating where appropriate to senior stakeholders.
  • Manage project timelines, revenue, resource planning to ensure efficient delivery while maintaining exceptional quality standards.
  • Ensure all project documentation, reporting and governance is maintained accurately throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Produce regular project updates, status reports and post-project reviews for senior stakeholders, highlighting progress, risks, learnings and future opportunities. Manage approval processes both internally and externally.
  • Line manage and develop on direct report, providing coaching, support, performance management and opportunities for professional development whilst fostering a collaborative, high-performing team culture.
  • Continuously review and improve project management processes, tools and ways of working to enhance delivery excellence across the Brand Partnerships team.
