Project Manager - Franchise Development

IV Nutrition•Kansas City, KS

5d•Hybrid

About The Position

IV Nutrition is one of the fastest-growing holistic wellness franchises in the country, helping clients optimize their health through IV therapy, functional wellness, and personalized care. As we continue to expand nationally, we're looking for exceptional people who thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy building systems that help others succeed. This is not a traditional project coordinator role. We are looking for a highly motivated, self-directed Project Manager who takes ownership, solves problems before they become obstacles, and naturally drives projects forward without waiting for instruction. You will lead multiple franchise clinic openings simultaneously, serving as the primary guide for franchise owners from the day they sign their Franchise Agreement through Grand Opening—and continuing as a trusted operational partner after opening. The ideal candidate loves organization, anticipates what needs to happen next, communicates proactively, and holds themselves accountable for keeping projects moving. If you need detailed daily direction or prefer completing assigned tasks rather than identifying what needs to be done, this position will likely not be the right fit.

Requirements

3+ years of project management experience in franchising, healthcare, wellness, retail, hospitality, construction, or multi-unit operations.
Demonstrated history of independently managing projects from start to finish.
Exceptional organizational and time management skills.
Strong critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to prioritize competing deadlines with minimal supervision.
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, constantly evolving environment.

Nice To Haves

Experience using project management software (Asana, Monday.com, ClickUp, Smartsheet, etc.) is preferred.
Franchise experience is a plus.

Responsibilities

Coordinate with real estate, construction, marketing, operations, training, clinical, and vendors.
Hold franchisees and internal teams accountable to project deadlines.
Travel to clinic locations (approximately four days per clinic) to oversee clinic setup and operational readiness.
Ensure all brand standards, compliance requirements, operational checklists, and training milestones are completed before opening.
Support Grand Opening planning and execution.
Continue supporting franchise owners after opening to help ensure successful operations.
Continuously improve our development process by identifying inefficiencies and implementing better systems.
