We Are One

At Kurt Geiger we celebrate individuality, believing our differences make us more powerful as a collective.

Diversity, equity and inclusion are at the core of who we are and we strive to reflect this in every corner of our company culture, starting with the promotion of equal opportunities. Though prejudice prevails in our world, it is not welcome in our workplace, and ensuring the equity of all our people processes to recruit a diverse workforce remains paramount.

We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone is granted the opportunity to thrive as their authentic self.

Kurt Geiger is seeking to build on the growing success of its US site, and to expand its international digital presence both in the Americas and elsewhere.

To support this initiative, we are looking to recruit a Project Manager to manage the delivery of Kurt Geiger’s international projects.

The candidate needs to have experience of delivering websites that have a non-UK target market and strong Project Management skills with a track record of successful delivery.

The role would be based in the UK with a mix of working from Kurt Geiger’s Head Office and from home (depending on how the Covid situation evolves).

• Experience of Web based delivery, ideally within a retail environment
• Experience of managing projects using both Agile and waterfall methodologies
• Dealing with uncertainty
• Capable of adapting management style to the working environment without losing delivery focus
• Confidence with strong influencing skills (both up and down)
• Excellent communicator
• Strong stakeholder management skills.
• Previous experience of using Jira, Confluence, Slack & Monday.com would be advantageous
• Ability to pull together and maintain a plan where work is being done by multiple teams, including third parties.
• A proven track record of getting things done

Please note that while the Project Manager will manage all elements of the project, this is primarily an IT role so demonstrable experience of managing IT development work is essential.

• Competitive basic salary
• Pension and life assurance
• Enviable discounts
• Half day, Pay day Fridays
• RetailTrust support
• So much more!

If you’re successful, you will work for a business which recognises that amazing people are the key to driving our business forward and fulfil our vision of being the world’s leading multi-channel retailer of luxury branded shoes and accessories. We are a fast-paced business where no two days are the same, so you will need to be adaptable; but we will reward your hard-work, commitment and loyalty with a fantastic benefits package and very real opportunities for progression.
