Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia | Posted on 07/03/2025
Join a fast-growing lifestyle retail brand making its Southeast Asia debut after dominating its home market. With an emphasis on beautifully curated, design-forward retail experiences, the team is now building a flagship presence in Malaysia — and we’re looking for a hands-on leader to make it happen.
This is a remote role based in Malaysia, ideal for independent operators who can lead expansion while staying mobile and connected.
Lead store expansion strategy across Malaysia, from planning to execution
Identify, evaluate, and secure high-potential retail locations in key malls and commercial hubs
Build and maintain strong landlord relationships — especially with major shopping centres
Negotiate leases including commercial terms, legal aspects, and tenancy conditions
Track market trends, competitor movement, and trade terms across malls and retail zones
Prepare internal proposals for HQ approval, including site studies and business cases
Collaborate cross-functionally with legal, design, and ops teams to ensure smooth launches
5+ years in retail expansion, leasing, or business development
Strong relationships with landlords, mall owners, or REITs in Malaysia
Excellent negotiation, presentation, and stakeholder management skills
Strategic mindset with strong execution muscle
Self-driven, well-organised, and comfortable working remotely
Be part of a global brand’s Southeast Asia launch story. This is your chance to shape the retail footprint of a highly successful lifestyle label — with the flexibility of a remote setup, direct impact on flagship rollouts, and the backing of a high-growth international HQ.
