JOIN THE TEAM
SENIOR RETAIL DELIVERY LEAD
THE ROLE
We're looking for a Senior Retail Delivery Lead to work alongside the founders and take senior ownership of key projects during a period of growth.
This role is perfect for someone who has overseen store rollouts for ambitious consumer brands, balancing design, delivery, and contractors to get great spaces open smoothly, on time and on budget.
Alongside this, you’ll bring commercial judgement and operational credibility to support delivery across our wider work with landlords and councils, including placemaking projects and strategic advisory.
You'll be the calm, credible presence leading complex delivery and maintaining the quality our clients expect - the kind of person clients trust and founders can rely on to get things over the line.
WHO WE ARE
Someday Studios is a London-based consultancy helping independent brands and forward-thinking landlords create standout physical spaces. Founded by two retail experts with experience across hundreds of stores, we're a small, ambitious team working across brand strategy, placemaking, and retail delivery.
We work with cult brands like Beauty Pie and By Rotation, alongside councils and landlords on projects like Borough Yards, delivering pop-ups and permanent spaces that people actually want to spend time in.
We're growing, and we need someone senior to help lead delivery across some of our key projects, and help us define what comes next.
