Manager – Finance (Oasis Malls) – Landmark Group

Landmark Group, one of the GCC’s largest omnichannel retailers and a major home and fashion player across the region, is hiring a Finance Manager for Oasis Malls, a mall property within its broader retail and hospitality portfolio. Managing finance for a mall is different from managing finance for a single retail brand: the role deals with tenant lease income, service charges, common area costs, and the operational economics of running a shopping destination rather than a single store’s P&L.

The work includes managing budgeting and financial reporting for the mall, overseeing tenant billing and lease-related financial matters, analyzing financial performance against targets, and supporting decisions about mall operations and tenant mix from a financial perspective. Because malls run on a mix of fixed and variable tenant income streams, the role requires comfort with a different revenue structure than standard retail or corporate finance.

Being part of Landmark Group’s wider portfolio means this Finance Manager role benefits from established group-level financial systems and reporting standards, while still requiring genuine property and tenant-specific financial expertise.

It suits an experienced finance professional who’s comfortable with property or mall finance specifically, strong on reporting and analysis, and able to work closely with mall operations teams on financial decisions.

A shopping mall's financial health depends on accurate, timely management of tenant income, service charges, and operating costs, and errors or delays in this function directly affect both the mall's profitability and its relationships with tenants who expect accurate billing and transparent cost allocation. This Finance Manager's work directly protects Oasis Malls' financial performance within Landmark Group's broader property portfolio. Because tenant relationships are long-term and renewal-dependent, financial professionalism in billing and reporting also supports tenant retention, a mall known for fair, accurate, well-communicated financial dealings is more likely to retain strong tenants at renewal than one with a reputation for billing disputes or opacity, which matters directly to the mall's long-term occupancy and revenue stability. Because a mall's income is tied directly to occupancy levels, even a small improvement in tenant satisfaction driven by accurate, transparent financial dealings can have an outsized effect on renewal rates and, by extension, the mall's rental income over time.

Mall and property finance is a specialized niche within finance that builds genuinely distinct expertise, tenant lease economics, service charge structuring, mixed revenue stream analysis, that differs meaningfully from standard corporate or retail finance and is valued specifically within real estate and property management, a sector with sustained strategic importance across the region. Working within Landmark Group's broader portfolio also gives exposure to how a large, diversified retail and hospitality group structures its property finance function, which is a strong credential for anyone later targeting senior finance roles within real estate, mall management, or diversified conglomerates more broadly. For a finance professional building toward CFO or senior finance leadership roles within property or retail real estate specifically, this role offers a credible, specialized proof point that's genuinely harder to build elsewhere than standard corporate finance experience. Working closely with mall operations teams on financial decisions also builds a practical fluency in translating financial constraints into operational trade-offs, a skill that distinguishes finance leaders who partner effectively with the business from those who stay purely in a reporting function, which is ultimately what separates a trusted finance partner from someone who is seen as simply producing numbers on request without context.
