You’ll lead on financial and contractual governance, CapEx and OpEx planning, and landlord and supplier relationships—all while ensuring smooth operational delivery across our stores and retail-led projects. With a strong focus on strategic planning and investment, you’ll help shape the future of our property infrastructure and support key business transformation initiatives and masterplan projects.

Supplier & Third-Party Management

* Support supplier performance management, contract reviews, and procurement planning alongside the relevant internal teams.
* Ensure there is a clear plan with stakeholders for the management of service providers to meet KPIs, SLAs, and compliance obligations through structured review and audit cycles.

Landlord & Stakeholder Engagement

* Act as the go-to contact for all landlord matters, including service charges, maintenance issues, and lease obligations.
* Build strong, proactive relationships with landlords and agents to support long-term estate management.
* Collaborate cross-functionally with Legal, Finance, Retail, and Project teams to support business delivery.

Innovation, Risk & Best Practice

* Drive cost-saving and revenue-generating ideas to enhance performance.
