Job description

Kitt designs and operates workspace for the world's most vibrant brands. From managing the design and build, to creating an elevated ongoing experience, we create spaces that are worth leaving home for.

The Role

As a Mid-level Project Manager at Kitt, you'll be responsible for successfully managing the end-to-end delivery of bespoke office fit-out and refurbishment projects. Flexibility and speed of delivery are key - we operate on faster timescales than the rest of the industry. You will act as the key liaison between the client, our internal teams (Design, Operations, Finance), and external contractors, ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest quality standards that define the Kitt experience. This role requires a blend of technical project management expertise, strong stakeholder engagement and an ability to thrive in a fast-paced and changing startup environment.

You will be:

• Leading multiple concurrent office fit-out projects from concept through to handover
• Developing detailed project plans, managing and monitoring project budgets, resource allocation, and timelines.
• Managing all key project stages, including brief development, design coordination, procurement, contractor selection, on-site construction, and final snagging/close-out.
• Proactively Identifying and managing project risks, reporting on progress, and implementing solutions to keep projects on track.
• Ensuring seamless communication and coordination between all internal departments (Design, Operations, Finance) and external partners (architects, contractors, consultants).
• Maintaining high standards of health, safety, and quality throughout the project lifecycle.

About you

• You are a highly organised and detail-oriented project manager with a proven track record of delivering high-quality commercial property projects at pace, ideally within the office fit-out or commercial real estate sector.
• Experience managing interior design and construction/refurbishment projects, typically gained over 3+ years in a similar role
• You possess a strong understanding of the design, procurement, and construction process within the UK property market.
• You are an exceptional communicator and negotiator, confident in managing client expectations and leading contractor meetings.
• You are proactive, comfortable making key decisions, and skilled at problem-solving under pressure.
• You are proficient in project management software and tools (e.g. Asana).

Why Kitt?

The world of work has shifted forever. As people everywhere prioritise purpose over their paychecks, company culture has been thrown into the spotlight. But the problem is, too many companies are showing up to work in bland, cookie-cutter offices. We’re leading this change.

Real company culture can only be built in-person, in the real world – and for it to be authentic it needs its very own, personalised space. That’s why we create offices as unique as the brands and the people who work there. We’re long-term culture partners to our clients long after they've signed the lease and chosen the paint colours.

Interview Process

1. One way video
2. In-person interview with hiring manager and another member of the team
