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.

• 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.

At Unibail‑Rodamco‑Westfield, we create and operate some of the most recognised retail, lifestyle and mixed‑use destinations across Europe and the United States.

Our purpose is to Reinvent Being Together, creating places where people come together to shop, work, socialise, discover and experience something memorable.

In Northern Europe, our portfolio spans the UK, Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden, including Westfield Mall of the Netherlands and Stadshart Amstelveen.
