We are seeking a Project Manager to bring structure, discipline, and follow-through to the planning and administrative side of production to efficiently and effectively complement our superintendent.

This Project Manager role completes that system by owning the planning, structure, and administrative control that field execution depends on: schedules, procurement, budgets, change orders, documentation, coordination, and closeout. This removes any friction during execution by the superintendent and field crews.

Together, the Project Manager props each project up for execution by the Superintendent who will drive production. Project Manager will be involved during each project by ensuring they stay organized, supplied, documented, and profitable.

Key Responsibilities

·        Interpret construction plans and own the procurement workflow: prepare and track POs, confirm lead times, and ensure correct specs and on-time delivery

·        Create/maintain benchmark checklists (e.g., forms up → schedule survey; pile phase → inspection; cap pour → next steps)

·        Build and maintain project schedules aligned with barge and crew movements, tides, inspections, subcontractor availability, and material lead times

·        Prepare, document, and route change orders (scope, pricing, approval, and filing)

·        Coordinate inspections, permitting requirements, and municipal/agency touchpoints

·        Maintain project documentation: panel pile and anchor logs, correspondence, approvals, plan sets, and job records

·        Produce weekly look-ahead and concise status updates for leadership and (as directed) for clients

·        Close loops: ensure open items are tracked, assigned, and completed (no ‘out of sight, out of mind’)

Required Experience & Skillset

·        3+ years in fast-paced, multi-project construction, managing multiple active jobs at once (roofing, pools, restoration, or service-based construction). Marine, civil, or structural experience is a bonus.

·        Demonstrated experience owning schedules, budgets/cost tracking, documentation, and multi-relationship coordination

·        Proficiency with Buildertrend (or similar CRM), Excel, and modern communication tools

·        Ability to read plans, permits, scopes, and perform basic takeoffs / materials forecasting

·        Strong written communication and follow-through (able to memorialize decisions and keep a clean paper trail)

·        High level of organization, prioritization, and follow-through

·        Comfortable making decisions in the field and adapting to changing conditions

Preferred (Not Required)

·        Marine construction or waterfront-specific background

·        Experience with Truline or similar seawall systems

·        Familiarity with South Florida coastal construction conditions

We believe the best work happens together, and this role will work closely with our Marketing, Creative, and Visual Merchandising partners onsite.

The Company

Marine Layer is a Certified B Corp that designs and manufactures its own line of casual apparel, and sells through web, retail and wholesale. We have an amazing Fleet of 50+ stores (and counting!) across the country. Our success has been built on a small, hard-working team that has a lot of fun and passionately believes in what we are building. We’ve managed to transition from a start-up into a national brand by staying true to our roots and thoughtfully expanding the team with some incredibly talented (and fun) people who want to help us build something special. That’s where you come in..

Job Description

Marine Layer is seeking a Sr. Manager to shape the creative vision and strategic framework for window design across our fleet of 50+ stores. This newly created role will report directly to the Creative Director and serve as a primary thought partner to our Visual Merchandising team. This role will serve as a key bridge between seasonal brand storytelling and the physical expression of that story in our retail windows.

This role is for a creative leader who thinks like a campaign architect: someone who can translate big-picture brand and fashion narratives into a cohesive, repeatable, and elevated window design system that can be deployed across a diverse store fleet. You will define how Marine Layer shows up in the most public-facing canvas of our brand—on the street, in the window, and in the moment.

You will own the end-to-end creative direction of windows—from outfitting, concept, and design strategy to scalable rollout.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and evolve a multi-season window design strategy for all Marine Layer retail locations that reflects our brand point of view while allowing for flexibility by market, format, and store size.
• Translate seasonal fashion campaigns into window design narratives, ensuring alignment with brand storytelling, product priorities, and key retail moments.
• Develop and present a clear, creative vision for windows to senior leadership, articulating how each season’s concept ladders up to broader brand strategy.
• Lead the creative and strategic arc of window programs, from ideation and design direction through production approach, rollout framework, and post-install evaluation.
• Establish success criteria for window programs, blending qualitative brand impact with measurable signals such as engagement and store performance.
• Act as the steward of window design quality and consistency across the fleet, ensuring the creative intent is maintained in execution.
• Partner closely with Store Operations and Visual teams to ensure concepts are scalable, feasible, and operationally efficient across different store formats.
• Create design toolkits, playbooks, and guidelines that enable strong, consistent execution while still allowing for local nuance.
• Manage relationships with external vendors, fabricators, and installers, owning creative briefings, timelines, and budgets.

Qualifications

• 4 - 6+ years of experience in brand experience, environmental design, creative production, or related fields within a premium or specialty apparel retail context.
• Aesthetic POV and understanding of fundamental design principles.
• A strong creative POV with a passion for Marine Layer and an appreciation for thoughtful, understated brand expression.
• Proven experience translating seasonal campaigns or brand narratives into physical retail environments. Experience in an apparel retail environment is a strong plus.
• Demonstrated success developing scalable creative systems that can be implemented across a multi-store fleet.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud (specifically Photoshop, Illustrator), SketchUp, or other 3D rendering software for creating visual mockups.
• Experience managing budgets, vendor relationships, and complex production timelines.
• Highly collaborative leader who can influence across Creative, Marketing ,and Visual Merchandising.
• Comfortable using data insights, and store feedback to refine and evolve creative programs over time.

Perks

• Competitive pay and potential for equity compensation
• Flexible time off
• Health, Vision, and Dental Insurance available
• 401k with Matching
• Flexible Spending Accounts
• Parental Leave
• Wellness Allowance

Marine Layer is proud to be an equal opportunity employer that welcomes applicants and employees of all genders, races, backgrounds, orientations, and nationalities.

Guess we’ve made it big: we heard someone out there is using fake job offers from us for a phishing scam. Wishing them bad vibes, but also wanted to share a few tips on how to stay safe.

1. We keep it direct when it comes to recruitment: our hiring communications will always come from a @ account
2. Double-check the email address: most hiring messages come from either or
3. If someone’s asking you to buy supplies for your first day, it’s not us. (We’d hook you up with that)
4. We will never ask for personal information before onboarding. Keep that to yourself.

Just follow these four steps, watch out for sketchy links, and you too can ruin a scammer’s day.
