• Developing and implementing lease and portfolio strategies that reduce occupancy costs, improve flexibility and support long-term business objectives.
• Leading complex lease negotiations, landlord discussions, renewals, regears and strategic property transactions across the estate.
• Providing commercial property insight and recommendations to senior stakeholders, supporting investment decisions, governance processes and business planning.
• Working collaboratively with Property, Finance, Operations and Trading teams to support store performance, relocations, refurbishments and growth initiatives.
