Retail Leasing Administrator at Macdonald & Company

Job description

Dislike business development but enjoy closing deals? Our client has been in operation for more than 30 years, with a focus of developing and owning of a large variety of properties. The bulk of their portfolio is made up of shopping centres, with a combined GLA of over 200,000sqm - a volume they will be doubling over the next 4 years due to their current redevelopment and new projects pipeline. As a result of this aggressive development trail, they seek to employ a Leasing Executive who understands all the nuisances of a retail lease. Whilst a strong Leasing Director hunts for new deals, this role supports him and various centre managers. In this way you will be responsible for lease renewals on an existing retail portfolio whilst providing support on new deals brought in. This is not a wholly administrative function, as your manager will bring you deals that have many key points agreed upon, but then it is up to you to close the tenant on the finer points of the total lease. It also entails ensuring lease negotiations are accurately incorporated into any and all lease documents with the relevant legal clauses, calling existing and prospective clients, travelling to site when required and chasing up on necessary documentation. This key opportunity will suit someone who is excellent at maintaining service delivery whilst developing good rapport with existing and potential tenants. Benefiting from the help of an internal administrator, you will not be scared to 'roll up your sleeves' to capture details on MDA when necessary. A career focused and well regarded individual will be appointed. Minimum 4 years experience in a retail leasing function coupled with a Property Management/Legal Degree will secure. Afrikaans first language essential.
