This role is perfect for someone who thrives on building connections, enjoys working collaboratively across teams, and is passionate about driving the brand’s presence into new markets. You will play a pivotal part in identifying and securing prime retail locations, using your analytical skills to assess opportunities and negotiate favourable terms. With a focus on end-to-end expansion, you will be empowered to make a real impact while enjoying flexible working opportunities and the chance to work alongside knowledgeable professionals who are committed to your growth. Play a key role in expanding the retail footprint of an internationally respected brand by identifying and securing new store locations throughout Bangkok and beyond. Enjoy a generous salary package of 80,000-100,000 THB per month, with access to flexible working opportunities and ongoing training to support your professional development. Work closely with supportive cross-functional teams including finance, legal, and operations, ensuring every new location launch is seamless and successful. As a Retail Expansion Manager based in Bangkok, you will be at the forefront of growing the brand’s physical presence by identifying promising new locations through thorough research and data-driven insights. Your day-to-day responsibilities will involve engaging directly with landlords to build positive relationships, negotiating lease terms that benefit all parties involved, and collaborating extensively with internal departments such as finance, legal, and operations. You will be responsible for preparing robust financial analyses for each prospective site while ensuring that every step of the expansion process runs smoothly from initial survey through to store opening. Your ability to communicate effectively across teams and manage multiple projects simultaneously will be essential in delivering successful outcomes that contribute directly to the company’s continued growth. Conduct comprehensive market surveys and data analysis to identify high-potential retail locations that align with the brand’s strategic goals. Engage with landlords and property owners to establish strong relationships built on trust and mutual understanding. Negotiate lease agreements and commercial terms that are beneficial for both the company and its partners, ensuring all deals are fair and sustainable. Collaborate closely with internal teams such as finance, legal, and operations to ensure all aspects of expansion projects are managed efficiently from start to finish. Prepare detailed financial analyses for each potential site, evaluating profitability, risks, and long-term value before making recommendations. Oversee the entire deal-closing process with landlords, ensuring all documentation is accurate and timelines are met without compromising quality or compliance. Maintain up-to-date knowledge of local market trends, competitor activity, and regulatory requirements to inform decision-making. Support post-opening activities by coordinating with operational teams to ensure smooth handover and successful store launches. Provide regular updates and reports on project progress to senior management, highlighting achievements as well as areas for improvement. To excel as a Retail Expansion Manager in this organisation, you will bring hands-on experience from previous roles involving retail growth or commercial property acquisition. Your background should demonstrate your ability to analyse complex data sets related to market trends or site performance while communicating findings clearly across different audiences. You will have honed your negotiation skills through direct dealings with landlords or external partners—always striving for solutions that foster long-term partnerships. Your collaborative nature means you thrive when working alongside diverse teams; whether it’s aligning financial projections with finance colleagues or ensuring legal compliance during contract negotiations. A keen eye for detail coupled with strong organisational capabilities ensures nothing slips through the cracks even when managing several projects at once. Above all else, your commitment to supporting others’ success—whether team members or external stakeholders—will set you apart as an invaluable contributor. Demonstrated experience in retail expansion or commercial real estate within a fast-moving consumer environment is highly desirable for this position. Strong analytical skills with proven ability to conduct market surveys, interpret data trends, and make informed recommendations regarding site selection. Excellent interpersonal abilities that enable you to build rapport with landlords, property owners, and cross-functional colleagues alike. Outstanding negotiation skills with a track record of securing favourable lease agreements while maintaining positive relationships. Solid understanding of financial analysis techniques relevant to property evaluation and investment decisions. Experience working collaboratively within multi-disciplinary teams including finance, legal, operations or similar functions is important for success in this role. Exceptional organisational skills allowing you to manage multiple projects simultaneously without losing attention to detail or deadlines. Up-to-date knowledge of local property markets in Bangkok or Southeast Asia would be advantageous but not essential. A proactive approach combined with flexibility and adaptability when responding to changing business needs.
