Job Description

Project Manager – Real Estate & Construction

Join us in our mission to transform the way people shop and eat, where impact, innovation, and growth drives everything we do. Our Commercial team sits at the centre of Deliveroo’s marketplace—shaping how we serve restaurants, grocers, and new verticals worldwide. From negotiating key partnerships to unlocking new revenue streams and crafting data-led growth strategies, we take on big challenges that move the business forward. If you thrive in fast-paced, commercial environments and want to influence the future of a global brand—this is the team for you.

We’re looking for a Project Manager to join our London team. In this role, you’ll help us scale our physical footprint by overseeing the end-to-end delivery of complex construction projects that power our marketplace operations.

Get to know our Commercial team — what drives us, how we work, and what you can expect.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be joining the Property & Infrastructure team. We are responsible for the physical spaces that make on-demand delivery possible, from bespoke delivery-only kitchens to innovative corporate hubs.

Here’s what your day-to-day might look like:

• Lead the Construction Lifecycle: Take full ownership of projects from initial site feasibility and design through to fit-out, snagging, and final handover.

• Manage Complex Stakeholders: Act as the central point of contact for internal teams—including Legal, Operations, and Finance—ensuring alignment on project timelines and commercial goals.

• Drive Vendor Excellence: Source, appoint, and manage external contractors and consultants, ensuring all work meets our high standards for safety, quality, and cost-efficiency.

• Execute High-Stakes Prioritisation: Manage multiple workstreams simultaneously in a fast-paced environment, making rapid, data-backed decisions to keep projects on track.

• Deliver Financial Rigour: Maintain strict control over project budgets, identifying risks early and implementing mitigation strategies to prevent overspends or delays.

What You’ll Need to Thrive

Essential

• Proven Construction Ownership: Significant experience managing the full lifecycle of commercial fit-out or construction projects within a high-growth industry.

• Expert Vendor Management: A track record of holding contractors and external partners accountable to strict KPIs and safety standards.

• Stakeholder Influence: Proven ability to navigate complex organisational structures and influence senior decision-makers to achieve project milestones.

• Operational Agility: Strong understanding of how to operate effectively in fast-paced environments where priorities can shift rapidly.

Nice to Have

• Professional Qualification: RICS, RIBA, or Prince2 certification is a plus.

• Specialised Domain Knowledge: Experience specifically within the food-tech, industrial kitchen, or rapid-delivery real estate sectors.
