Leasing Manager - Retail

Leasing Manager can be based in KL or JB, offering up to RM 12,000 a month.
Your New Company

You will be joining a reputable and fast‑growing retail property developer managing prime shopping destinations in Malaysia. The organisation is committed to building vibrant retail environments and cultivating strong partnerships with leading brands. With active projects in key cities such as Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru, the company offers a dynamic environment where your leasing expertise will directly shape the mall’s success. The business is experiencing rapid growth with new projects in the pipeline, creating strong career advancement opportunities within a dynamic and entrepreneurial environment.

Your New Role

As the Leasing Manager, you will be responsible for identifying leasing prospects and securing the right retail partners to occupy mall spaces. You will generate new leasing leads, negotiate deals from start to final execution, and prepare weekly leasing activity reports. You will actively analyse market trends to identify potential leading brands, maintain positive tenant relationships, and assist with mall pre‑planning such as tenant mix and M&E coordination.
You will also play a key role in attracting KL‑based and Singapore‑focused tenants into Johor malls to strengthen the premium tenant mix, with a focus on showcasing Johor Bahru’s growth potential and convincing new-to-JB brands of the opportunity. The role places no strict KPIs, instead emphasising relationship building, especially with KL market players and premium brand networks.
Candidates will need strong communication and interpersonal skills to entertain, influence, and secure new tenants. Collaboration is key — you will work closely with internal departments to ensure smooth and successful mall openings.

What You’ll Need to Succeed

  • Minimum 5 years of retail leasing experience.
  • Minimum Diploma in any discipline.
  • A strong existing network of retail, F&B, lifestyle, and brand connections.
  • Proven ability to generate leads and close leasing deals.
  • Strong communication, negotiation, and relationship‑building skills.
  • Proactive, analytical, and able to work independently.
  • Open to Malaysian candidates only.
  • Willingness to work in Kuala Lumpur or Johor Bahru.
  • Hands-on leasing experience and a strong tenant network, with the ability to attract KL and SG-focused premium brands to Johor.
What You’ll Get in Return

You will have the opportunity to play a key role in shaping the tenant mix of high‑profile malls and bring in influential retail brands. The company offers a collaborative working environment, exposure to major retail projects, and strong career development potential. Compensation will be based on experience, with competitive benefits and opportunities to grow your professional network within the retail property industry. You will be joining a rapidly growing organisation with new developments underway, offering clear performance-based career progression in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
