Key Responsibilities
- Source and assess a continuous pipeline of new store opportunities across retail parks, high streets and off-market acquisitions to support expansion targets.
- Lead negotiations with landlords, developers and agents to secure commercially advantageous lease terms, incentives and agreements.
- Manage multiple live acquisitions simultaneously, driving opportunities through appraisal, approval and delivery stages.
- Prepare robust investment cases, presenting financial returns, commercial rationale and strategic fit to senior stakeholders for approval.
- Build strong relationships with agents, landlords and developers while monitoring market trends to identify emerging opportunities and maintain a competitive advantage.
The Ideal Candidate
- Proven track record of delivering high-volume retail acquisitions and securing successful property deals within a fast-paced environment.
- Strong commercial negotiator with the ability to achieve favourable terms while balancing business objectives and market conditions.
- Well-connected within the property market, with an established network of agents, landlords, developers and industry contacts.
- Experienced in managing multiple projects and transactions concurrently, maintaining momentum across a large and evolving pipeline.
- Highly driven, resilient and results-focused, with excellent stakeholder management skills and the ability to operate effectively under pressure.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing retail business where you will play a direct role in shaping our store estate and supporting B&M's continued expansion.
