Job description

Want to be part of shaping some of the most exciting retail destinations in Europe?

We’re looking for a Retail Project Manager to join our PMPS (Projects, Maintenance, Purchasing & Sustainability) team. This is a fantastic opportunity to play a key role in bringing retail concepts to life across iconic destinations such as Westfield Mall of the Netherlands and Stadshart Amstelveen.

You’ll work closely with colleagues across Leasing, Investment Management, Technical Management and Construction, while partnering directly with leading retail brands to ensure their stores open successfully and deliver the best possible customer experience.

If you enjoy managing projects, building relationships and making things happen, we’d love to hear from you.

Why this role matters

Every new store opening contributes to the success and attractiveness of our destinations. As Retail Project Manager, you’ll be responsible for guiding retailers through the journey from lease signature to store opening, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently and in line with URW standards.

You’ll be joining a collaborative and ambitious team that plays a critical role in enhancing our assets, supporting commercial performance and delivering exceptional experiences for our visitors. Your work will directly influence how brands bring their concepts to life within some of the most recognised retail destinations in Europe.

What you’ll be getting involved in

No two days will look exactly the same, but you’ll spend your time:

• Leading the delivery of retail projects from lease signature through to store opening.
• Acting as the primary point of contact for tenants, contractors and consultants throughout the project lifecycle.
• Managing project programmes, milestones and key deliverables to ensure successful execution.
• Coordinating the review and approval of tenant design and technical submissions.
• Working closely with Leasing, Investment Management, Technical Management and PMPS colleagues to align stakeholders and drive projects forward.
• Identifying risks, solving problems proactively and ensuring projects remain on track.
• Supporting technical discussions during lease negotiations where required.
• Ensuring projects comply with design standards, health & safety requirements and sustainability objectives.
• Contributing to process improvements, governance and best practice across the portfolio.

What we’re looking for

We’re not looking for someone who ticks every box. What matters most is that you bring the right experience, mindset and enthusiasm to help deliver exceptional retail projects.

You’ll enjoy this role if you:

• Have experience managing retail, commercial or construction projects.
• Enjoy coordinating multiple stakeholders and building strong relationships.
• Like taking ownership and driving projects through to successful completion.
• Can balance technical detail with commercial awareness.
• Are highly organised and comfortable managing several projects simultaneously.
• Enjoy solving problems and finding practical solutions.
• Communicate confidently with a wide range of audiences.

It would be great if you also bring:

• A Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Architecture, Engineering, Real Estate or a related discipline.
• A strong understanding of building design and construction processes.
• Financial and analytical skills that support effective project decision-making.
• Experience working within retail, mixed-use, commercial real estate or construction environments.
• Fluency in both Dutch and English.

Please note:

Fluency in Dutch is essential for this role, as you’ll work closely with Dutch-speaking tenants, contractors, authorities and stakeholders on a daily basis.

Who are we?

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.

Alongside a competitive salary, we offer a range of benefits designed to support your wellbeing, development and work-life balance. These may include bonus schemes, pension plans, health and wellbeing support, learning opportunities and flexible working arrangements.
