At B&M, our property portfolio is a key driver of business performance and growth. As an Estates Manager, you will play a critical role in managing and optimising our store estate, ensuring property decisions deliver commercial value while supporting our ambitious expansion plans across the UK.
This is a fast-paced, commercially focused role that sits at the heart of the business, working closely with Property, Operations, Trading, and Finance teams. You'll be responsible for managing a diverse retail portfolio, leading lease negotiations, identifying growth opportunities, and ensuring the estate continues to deliver maximum value through strong commercial judgement and effective stakeholder management.
Key Responsibilities
- Identify, appraise, and secure new store opportunities that support B&M's growth strategy across retail parks, high streets, and value-led locations.

- Prepare robust financial appraisals and business cases for acquisitions, lease events, and wider portfolio optimisation initiatives.
- Manage external agents, consultants, and legal partners, ensuring transactions are completed efficiently and deliver strong commercial outcomes.
