Supported by a massive investment commitment, its Retail division will grow at an exponential rate over the next 5 years. Consisting of vertically-integrated shopping centre, supermarket, F&B and leisure and mixed-use components, the firm aims to become the market-leader across the nation. To enable this, the firm is now seeking to appoint a seasoned Director for Mall Operations to steer multiple malls from pre-development, pre-opening to full operational management.

Making recommendations from the development phase, the appointed individual will prepare OPEX budgets as well as developing a blueprint for successful operations management; this will include the development of SOPs for maintenance, cleaning, security and safety, concierge, parking, outsource vendor tendering, appointment and management whilst seeking to establish the highest standards of operational and service excellence. Necessarily, the scope will include hiring, training and leading a local team whilst closely collaborating with leasing, marketing and promotions and project management personnel. Over time, there will be an accompanying need to develop appropriate asset enhancement projects to improve mall performance and sustain the value proposition to the Owner, tenants and customers.

The Person

Interested candidates will be degree-holders (Real Estate/Business/Marketing) who ideally possess 10+ years’ relevant retail mall operations management experience preferably having been exposed to multi-format retail mall environments (prime location mega malls, neighbourhood shopping centres) within both developed and emerging markets.
