Shopping centre operator managing 2.5M sqm of retail real estate across Australia
Vicinity operates a portfolio of regional shopping destinations across Australia with a 1000+ person team split primarily between operations and finance. The tech stack is anchored in Microsoft 365 and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP), with engineering and security as distinct hiring departments—unusual for a traditional retail landlord and suggesting active digital transformation. Active projects span capital delivery, ESG strategy, and AI risk frameworks, while pain points cluster around retailer retention, compliance, and operational efficiency.
Vicinity Centres is a public real estate operator managing over 2.5 million square metres of retail leasable space across shopping destinations from Chadstone and Chatswood to Elizabeth and Joondalup. The company serves as a landlord and community hub, generating revenue from tenant leasing, retail mix optimization, and property management services. With a 1,001–5,000 employee base headquartered in Chadstone, Victoria, the business operates across leasing, capital projects, marketing, and compliance functions. The portfolio houses grocery, pharmacy, luxury retail, and dining tenants. The organization is in the midst of a multi-year digital and sustainability push, including a $75-million solar investment program nationally and a stated commitment to data-led retail mix optimization.
Microsoft Office, SharePoint, Microsoft 365, Power Automate, Bluebeam, Adobe Creative Suite, CAD tools, and multi-cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP) with GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps for automation.
