Director – European Asset Management (Transactions & Strategy) | London | Retail & Mixed Use | Pan-European
A well-capitalised and fast-growing PropCo with an expanding European portfolio is looking for a Director to lead on asset management, transactions, and strategic value creation across its retail and mixed-use holdings. This is a senior, high-impact role for someone who wants genuine autonomy, serious capital behind them, and a platform to operate at the top of the market.
The business is in an active phase of growth — acquiring, repositioning, and extracting value across key European markets. You will be central to that agenda, working closely with the leadership team and driving decisions that shape the direction of the portfolio.
The Role
* Leading asset management across a portfolio of retail and mixed-use assets spanning multiple European markets
* Driving the transactions agenda — identifying acquisition and disposal opportunities, leading due diligence, and executing deals
* Developing and implementing strategic asset management plans to maximise income, occupancy, and capital value
* Working closely with leasing, development, and finance teams to deliver on business plans at an asset and portfolio level
* Managing relationships with JV partners, advisors, agents, and local market teams across Europe
* Providing clear reporting and recommendations to senior leadership and investment committees
* Staying ahead of market trends, occupier demand, and repricing opportunities across target geographies
What You'll Need
* MRICS qualified
* Significant and demonstrable experience as an asset manager, with direct exposure to European real estate markets
* A strong track record in retail and mixed-use — understanding occupier dynamics, lease structures, and value-add repositioning across different jurisdictions
* Proven ability to originate, underwrite, and execute transactions across European markets
* Strong financial modelling and analytical capability — comfortable stress-testing business plans and underwriting acquisitions
* Credible and confident at senior level, both internally and with external counterparties across multiple markets
* Fluency in at least one European language is advantageous but not essential
The Opportunity
This is not a role for someone looking for a steady-state asset management position. The business has capital, appetite, and ambition — and is looking for a Director who matches all three. The platform is growing, the deal flow is real, and there is a clear path for the right person to grow with the business.
