# Associate Director – Leasing – Al-Futtaim Group

Al-Futtaim Group Real Estate develops and operates a sizeable portfolio of retail, residential, and mixed-use assets across the UAE, and this Associate Director role sits within the leasing function responsible for keeping that portfolio occupied with the right tenants on the right terms. It’s a senior commercial role that blends relationship management, negotiation, and market strategy.

Day to day, the role involves managing relationships with existing and prospective tenants, negotiating lease terms, and working closely with asset management and development teams to align leasing strategy with each property’s positioning. Because Al-Futtaim’s portfolio spans different asset types, the leasing strategy for a shopping mall unit looks very different from a residential or mixed-use leasing deal, and the Associate Director is expected to flex across that range.

At this seniority, there’s also a market-intelligence component — tracking rental trends, tenant demand, and competitor positioning to inform pricing and tenant-mix decisions, and feeding that insight back into broader portfolio strategy conversations with senior leadership. Strong negotiation skill matters here, since lease terms directly affect both occupancy levels and portfolio revenue.

This suits an experienced real estate professional with a strong leasing or commercial property background, deep knowledge of the UAE real estate market, and the relationship-building skills to manage both tenants and internal stakeholders.

## Requirements

- Significant experience in commercial real estate leasing, ideally across multiple asset types

- Strong track record negotiating lease agreements and managing tenant relationships

- Deep knowledge of the UAE real estate market is an advantage

- Excellent relationship-building and stakeholder management skills

- Strong commercial and analytical skills to assess leasing deals and market trends

- Bachelor’s degree in real estate, business, or a related field typically expected
