Vacancy Details

Employer: Michelle Cloete Consulting Pty Ltd

    Role Overview - Large Property Organisation is seeking a dynamic, commercially minded Retail Marketing Manager. This is a hybrid role that combines traditional retail marketing (driving footfall and brand awareness) with aggressive revenue generation.

    Unlike traditional marketing roles that focus solely on brand awareness, the ideal candidate possesses a "hunter" mentality. They must be comfortable proactively selling exhibition space, negotiating hard on sponsorship deals, and viewing every square meter of common area as a monetizable asset.

    The Core Mandate: - The successful candidate is expected to monetize the portfolio's common areas and digital assets to generate "Non-GLA" (Non-Gross Lettable Area) revenue. The core performance metric is financial: the individual must generate non-GLA revenue equivalent to at least double (2x) their total cost to company.

    Key Performance Areas (KPIs)

    Non-GLA Revenue Generation (Commercial Mandate)

    • Target: Achieve a revenue target of 200% of the cost of employment through alternative revenue streams.
    • Exhibitions & Court Hire: Sell floor space in common areas to external exhibitors, vehicle displays, and pop-up kiosks.
    • Media Sales: Monetize static and digital advertising assets (posters, lift branding, digital screens, parking booms).
    • Sponsorships: Secure paid sponsorships for center events and activations.
    • Vending & Promotions: Manage vending machine contracts and promotional leafleting permits.
    • Leasing deals which don’t occupying traditional GLA: Good examples include items such as using unused parking bays as storage for tenants; cellphone mast revenue; wifi providers which sell connectivity etc.
    • Events, Activations & Exhibitions
    • Conceptualize and execute an annual calendar of high-quality events designed to increase footfall and dwell time.
    • Manage end-to-end logistics for seasonal campaigns (e.g., Easter, Christmas, Black Friday) and community events.
    • Coordinate with operations and security teams to ensure safe event delivery, including risk assessments and vendor management.
    • Digital Marketing & Website Management
    • Website: Take full ownership of Trueprop retail websites, ensuring accurate tenant directories and adherence to SEO best practices.
    • Social Media: Manage all channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok), developing content calendars that promote tenants and center news.
    • Community: Manage engagement by responding to queries and reviews to maintain brand reputation.
    • Tenant Relations
    • Build strong relationships with store managers and tenants.
    • Collect tenant turnover data to measure the ROI of marketing events on trade. 

Required Skills

  • Copy Writing: 2 to 3 years
  • Financial Literacy: 2 to 3 years
  • Commercial & Sales Experience: 2 to 3 years
  • Retail & Property Experience: 2 to 3 years
  • Digital & Events Experience: 2 to 3 years

Candidate Requirements

    Minimum requirements:

    Essential: Bachelor’s Degree or National Diploma in Marketing, Business Management, or Public Relations.

    Desirable: Post-graduate qualification in Property Management or Digital Marketing

    Sales Training certification / Digital Marketing certifications (Google/Meta).

    Valid Driver’s License (Required for site visits).

    Commercial & Sales Experience (Critical)

    • Minimum 2 years of direct sales experience, such as selling media space, sponsorships, exhibition stands, or event partnerships.
    • Proven track record of meeting or exceeding financial targets.
    • Experience writing commercial proposals and sponsorship pitch decks.
    • Retail & Property Experience
    • 3–5 years in a retail environment (Shopping Centre Marketing or Retail Operations).
    • Understanding of "Tenant Mix" and how marketing events impact tenant turnover.
    • Experience managing "Pop-up" retail or temporary lettings is highly advantageous.
    • Digital & Events Experience
    • Experience managing budgets.
    • Demonstrable experience managing business social media pages (not just personal use).
    • Hands-on experience organizing public events.

    Technical Skills

    1. Financial Literacy: Ability to calculate ROI, manage a P&L for events, and forecast Non-GLA revenue.
    2. Digital Proficiency: Advanced knowledge of Meta Business Suite (Ads Manager), Google Analytics, and CMS platforms (WordPress).
    3. Contract Management: Basic understanding of SLAs and lease addendums for temporary exhibitors.
    4. Copywriting: Ability to write compelling sales copy for sponsorship decks and engaging captions for social media.

    Working Conditions 

    • Schedule: This is not a strictly 9-5 desk job. Candidates must be willing to work weekends and public holidays when major retail events take place.
    • Mobility: Travel between retail properties within the Trueprop portfolio is required.
    • Environment: A mix of corporate office, on-site retail management, and outdoor event supervision.
