Portfolio Leasing Manager, The Netherlands
Want to shape the commercial future of two of the Netherlands’ leading retail destinations?
We’re looking for a Portfolio Leasing Manager to lead the leasing strategy and commercial performance of our Netherlands portfolio.
This is a high-impact leadership role with responsibility for shaping the retail mix, strengthening relationships with leading national and international brands, and delivering ambitious commercial outcomes across our Dutch assets.
You’ll lead the Netherlands Leasing team, influence senior stakeholders and bring together teams from across the business behind a clear, joined-up portfolio strategy. If you combine strategic thinking with commercial instinct and enjoy turning opportunities into results, this is a role where you can make a visible impact.
Why this role matters
Our destinations need the right brands, experiences and commercial partnerships to remain relevant, competitive, and exciting.
As the senior leasing lead for the Netherlands portfolio, you’ll set the direction for our Dutch assets and ensure leasing activity supports long-term value, customer experience and sustainable growth. You’ll also play an important role within our wider Northern Europe Leasing team, sharing market insight and helping us think beyond individual assets.
What you’ll be getting involved in
No two days will look exactly the same, but you’ll spend your time:
Leading and delivering the leasing strategy across both Netherlands assets
Taking ownership of portfolio performance, commercial targets and Business Plan priorities
Leading, motivating and developing a team of four
Building senior relationships with national and international brands
Leading and challenging complex commercial negotiations
Identifying emerging brands, sectors and concepts that will strengthen our destinations
Shaping anchor tenant strategy and long-term brand partnerships
Using market insight and performance data to identify risks, opportunities and future growth
Bringing internal teams, external agents and senior stakeholders together behind a clear commercial vision
Representing the Netherlands leasing function in leadership forums and regional discussions
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for an established commercial leader who can operate strategically while staying close to the market and the detail.
You’ll enjoy this role if you:
Have significant experience within retail property, leasing, asset management or commercial real estate
Bring a strong track record of delivering leasing strategies and commercial targets in complex retail environments
Have led and developed high-performing teams
Are an accomplished negotiator who understands the commercial drivers behind successful deals
Build credibility quickly and can confidently influence senior stakeholders
Combine strategic thinking with hands-on commercial delivery
Understand retail market dynamics, brand positioning and evolving customer trends
Bring energy, resilience and sound judgement to complex negotiations
Are fluent in both Dutch and English
Experience working across multiple assets, within an international business or with large-scale destination retail would be an advantage.
