The role offered is a Project Manager position primarily focused on managing airport retail and food and beverage concession projects located in West Palm Beach, FL. This position involves overseeing store refreshes, remodels, tenant improvements, brand rollouts, and new store buildouts within active airport environments, which makes project management uniquely challenging. The Project Manager acts as the liaison between various stakeholders such as airport authorities, concession operators, landlords, designers, contractors, and internal teams, ensuring projects are completed with minimal disruption to ongoing airport operations.

This requires an in-depth knowledge of retail rollout programs, tenant improvement construction, and compliance with building codes and regulations. The position also necessitates frequent travel throughout the United States, sometimes up to 50-90 percent of the time, according to project needs.

The ideal candidate will hold at least a bachelor's degree or equivalent experience with strong project management credentials such as PMP certification being highly preferred. Experience with retail, restaurant, airport concession, hospitality, or multi-site renovation projects in operational environments is particularly valued.
