Job description
Capital Projects Manager
Location: Chicago, IL (Hybrid: Mon–Thurs in office, Fridays remote)
About the Role
We are a high-growth rollup in the pet industry , rapidly expanding our footprint through acquisitions and rebranding of existing locations. We’re seeking a Capital Projects Manager to own and execute CapEx projects across our growing portfolio. This is a highly autonomous, execution-focused role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, process-light environment and enjoys building structure as they go. You’ll manage approximately 10 CapEx projects per quarter , supporting both newly acquired and existing locations. Projects are focused on rebranding and light remodels —such as signage, paint, and minor layout changes—rather than large-scale construction.
This role is ideal for a strong project manager who can juggle multiple initiatives, manage vendors and contracts, and build scalable processes as the company grows.
What You’ll Do
Lead and execute capital rebrand projects across a multi-site portfolio
Manage timelines, budgets, vendors, and contracts from kickoff through completion
Oversee rebranding initiatives for newly acquired and existing locations
Track project spend and progress using Excel-based tools and dashboards
Partner with Operations and Marketing (capex strategy is set, you execute)
Build and refine facilities and project management processes as the function scales
Operate independently while keeping stakeholders informed and aligned
What We’re Looking For
Bachelor’s degree (field flexible)
Proven experience managing multi-site projects in a fast-moving environment
Strong project management and organizational skills
High proficiency in Excel
Experience negotiating contracts and managing external vendors
Comfortable working with minimal structure and building processes from scratch
Professional, organized, and proactive with a strong sense of ownership
Pet industry experience is a plus, but not required
Why Join?
Be an early builder in a rapidly scaling company
Manager-level role with real ownership and autonomy
Own your function and make a visible impact
Work closely with leadership in a high-trust environment
Competitive compensation with meaningful bonus and equity upside
Hybrid schedule with in-office collaboration and Friday flexibility
If you’re a strong project manager who loves execution, thrives in growth environments, and wants to build something meaningful from the ground up, we’d love to talk.
Confidential inquiries welcome.
