Project Management in Retail

Retail Project Management Recruitment



For Arras People retail programme and project management covers the whole of the supply chain from factory to customer fulfilment be that through traditional high street outlets, home delivery, or newer channels such as telephone and web. We have broad experience of recruiting retail focused project personnel involved in warehousing and logistics through to shop fitting and back office systems through to EPOS implementation.

Whereas project roles have shot up in numerous sectors over the past decade the retail industry appears to be much more of a tight knit community. This has resulted in a small group of well skilled project professionals who have benefited from the training and work environment of some of the biggest and best names in the business. Indeed, some of the most interesting CVs in our database are those of retail project staff.

Our candidates include Business Analysts experienced in process mapping logistical, warehousing and stock picking solutions, Project Managers responsible for EPOS rollouts, IT fulfilment solutions and the full range of e-commerce specialists. The competitive nature of the UK retail industry and dominance of a few key players means that much of the project staff we have encountered tend to be particularly skilled at managing multiple projects, involving numerous stakeholders (including suppliers) in a blue chip environment.
