Working at Mileway
We offer an opportunity you simply won’t find anywhere else. Launched in 2019, Mileway has rapidly grown into Europe’s leader in last-mile logistics real estate, with a team of over 550 across more than twenty offices in 11 countries. From the start, Mileway set out
to be a different kind of real estate company, with a cloud-based IT infrastructure and a team that combines local expertise with the pooled strengths of a pan-European presence.
Our culture is fast-paced and highly international, with team members from more than 50 countries, bringing diverse perspectives and a “can-do” attitude to everything we do. While we have already achieved a lot, we’re only just getting started – our mission is to be the most customer- and climate-focused last-mile real estate company in Europe, creating space for businesses to grow sustainably. To get there, we live by our values: Drive, Trust, Grow, Together.
At Mileway, we believe company growth comes from supporting the growth of our combined capabilities. That’s why we offer an in-house learning & development program where personal, professional, and business development go hand in hand, helping you carve out your own unique career path. You’ll be based at our office in Amsterdam’s Zuidas or within one of our UK offices, and there’ll be some travel involved.

- Review and circulate legal documentation to the companies’ directors for execution.
- Assist with the upload and categorisation of legal and corporate documents on the company database and with the filing of legal and corporate documents.
