This is a high-impact, independent role with responsibility for property strategy, lease management, and commercial decision-making across Wilhelmsen’s global office, warehouse, and port-location footprint. You will work closely with Presidents, CFOs, and senior leaders across Business Units, acting as the company’s property expert and trusted advisor.
If you enjoy operating independently, challenging assumptions, and driving strong commercial outcomes in a global environment — this role offers real scope and influence.

What you need to be successful in the role:
- Solid experience in real estate, property procurement, or corporate real estate (leasing focus)
- Proven track record managing complex, multi-country lease portfolios
- Experience with offices and industrial/warehouse environments
- Exposure to property acquisitions is a plus, though the role is predominantly lease-driven
- Strong financial acumen with the ability to build and defend business cases
- Confident negotiator, comfortable pushing back and challenging senior stakeholders
- Ability to manage multiple projects independently in a global setting
What we are looking for:
- Highly proactive, resourceful, and self-driven
- Comfortable operating as a sole contributor with full accountability
- Assertive yet collaborative — able to “take the fight” constructively
- Globally minded with strong cultural awareness
- Excellent command of English
What it’s like to work with us:
We can offer a culture and work environment of strong leadership, career development, work-life balance and a job that is both challenging and stimulating. Beyond this, we have benefits that include, but are not limited to:
- A global role with exposure across regions and occasional travel
- Flexible working arrangements (hybrid)
