Job description

SKIMS is a solutions-oriented brand creating the next generation of underwear, loungewear, shapewear, and essentials. We are setting new standards by delivering technically innovative, comfort-driven products with elevated design for everybody.

At the intersection of culture, innovation, and commerce, SKIMS is a global brand redefining modern apparel. Our teams are built on creativity, collaboration, and operational excellence, and we are committed to fostering an inclusive, high-performance environment where ambitious, curious, and values-driven individuals can do the best work of their careers.

As we continue to scale globally, our HQ teams play a critical role in shaping strategy, building world-class infrastructure, and driving sustainable growth across markets.

SKIMS is looking for a detail-driven, technically sharp Project Manager focused on development & construction to join our New Store Development team. This role sits at the intersection of design & execution - supporting the delivery of SKIMS retail environments including flagship stores, pop-ups, experiential activations, and office spaces.

You will serve as the connective tissue between our design architect, architect of record, and general contractor teams ensuring every project reflects the SKIMS aesthetic from early concept through to doors open. You bring a genuine design eye, solid construction documentation experience, and the organizational discipline to keep multiple complex projects moving in parallel from initial site survey to store turn-over.

This is a role for someone who understands that every detail matters - and that the difference between a good space and a great one lives in the execution.

Review submittals and shop drawings for design conformance.
Create construction budgets and ensure modifications and alterations to store design reflected budget number.
Provide coordination and assistance to millwork, storefront, and signage shop drawings.
Ensure barricades and graphics are installed.
Manage the bid phase: review and negotiate proposals, prepare general contractor bid leveling analysis, ensure all required materials and resources are available and within budgetary guidelines, and ensure all proposals are executed and returned to the vendors.
Track and maintain project costs-to-date through the approval of all invoices utilizing the department project accounting tracking reports.
Coordinate with technology department and operational teams to ensure accurate construction implementation.
Manage the construction phase: costs, schedule, quality, and timely completion of punch lists.
Manage the turnover activities to retail operations.
Maintain excellent relationships with contractors, consultants, designers and internal customers.
Ensure all owner furnished materials (e.g., lighting, flooring, millwork, etc.) are ordered and delivered to the jobsite according to the construction schedule.

Ensure all financial closeout documents are complete, correct and timely.
