RETAIL PROJECT MANAGER – TRAVEL RETAIL

Location: Geneva

At Coty, a Retail Project Manager oversees numerous CAPEX projects across iconic prestige brands, leading end-to-end retail implementations and ensuring merchandising excellence in every in-store execution.

Responsibilities

As our Retail Project Manager , you are responsible for project delivery, CAPEX, compliance.

You coordinate end‑to‑end permanent and temporary retail installations across Travel Retail, transforming global guidelines into flawless in‑store executions. You take over once spaces are secured, steering approvals with design agencies, shopfitters and retailers until on‑counter installation. You control CAPEX, timelines, and quality, ensure POSM/visual compliance, and report performance. The scope spans all Prestige brands (make‑up, skincare, fragrance) and major retailers.

Your main focus :

• Deliver permanent shop furniture (≈3‑year lifecycle) and entrance activations across markets
• Coordinate approvals with agencies/retailers per global specs : no local creation, strict guideline adaptation
• Control CAPEX, POs, timelines, quality, H&S compliance, and installation reports
• Partner with Sales/Merch/Marketing to secure adjacencies and land brand‑right executions across all doors.
• Maintain POSM/visuals/planograms; track maintenance to keep fixtures best‑in‑class across thousands of doors.
  
  

Working for Coty means celebrating the diversity of beauty. We build brands to inspire and enable our consumers to experience the confidence and joy of expressing their beauty, their way. We aim to be gamechangers in the beauty industry, winning the hearts and minds of consumers around the world.

You will work closely with Sales, Merchandising and Marketing. All your colleagues are rigorous, collaborative, and solutions‑driven. Working in the team feels fast‑paced, supportive, and hands‑on from negotiation handover to live counter.

“Travel Retail moves fast: we adapt global guidelines flawlessly and deliver on time, always.”
