About Ray Studios
Ray studios is the European leader in tattoo removal, currently operating in three countries — and growing fast.
We're now launching a dedicated Expansion Team, and we're looking for an Expansion Project Manager based in Dublin to support our growth in Ireland and the UK.
This is an exciting freelance opportunity to lead the opening of new studios in the region. You'll work closely with our central Expansion Team while operating with full autonomy on the ground.
Your Mission

* Sourcing and securing premises, preparing initial project plans.
* Selecting and managing construction companies and local suppliers, negotiating offers and contracts.
* Coordinating all stakeholders (internal teams, contractors, landlords, local authorities).
* Following up on site progress and ensuring openings are delivered on time and within budget.
* Managing logistics and administrative tasks related to fit-out, furniture, and supplies.
You'll also play a key strategic role by:
* Conducting regulatory, legal, and administrative research for studio setup (licenses, compliance, insurance, etc.).
* Identifying key local partners (legal, accounting, construction, regulatory) to secure our long-term operations in both markets.
Why Work with Ray Studios
* Join a fast-growing European brand that's redefining tattoo removal with design-driven, patient-centered studios.
* Autonomous, project-based collaboration — you'll manage your work your way, delivering results on agreed milestones.
* Work with a passionate, ambitious international team that values initiative, excellence, and creative problem-solving.
* Long-term collaboration opportunities as our network continues to expand across Europe.
