Position Overview

A strategic initiative is underway to optimize ATB's Real Estate portfolio, encompassing both corporate and branch locations. Given the complex and cross-functional nature of this portfolio, ATB is seeking a Transaction & Leasing Project Manager Contractor to ensure successful implementation. This role will focus on providing essential transaction management, administration project coordination, and oversight to drive these strategies forward. You will be instrumental in maintaining alignment across various workstreams and ensuring meticulous project management. You will own end-to-end process rigor establishing project frameworks, tracking critical path milestones, anticipating operational bottlenecks, and keeping internal stakeholders and external partners synchronized and accountable.

Our client is seeking a capacity creator who takes ownership of process mechanics and delivers executive-ready work. While familiarity with commercial real estate or leasing is a plus, expert project management, process architecture, and anticipatory leadership are the core requirements.

Top Skills:

• 1. Process & Project Management Leadership (Core Prerequisite)
• End-to-End Deal & Pipeline Ownership: Drive transactions and strategic initiatives through the pipeline with total process rigor. Build and manage critical path schedules, key milestone tracking (contingency dates, execution targets, notice windows), and accountability structures.
• Executive Artifact Creation: Design, maintain, and elevate high-quality project infrastructure—including deal trackers, executive summaries, decision memos, process guides, and pipeline dashboards that provide immediate clarity for leadership.
• 2. Anticipatory Operations & Stakeholder Alignment (Core Prerequisite)
• Two Steps Ahead: Proactively identify and eliminate operational bottlenecks, governance delays, or administrative hurdles well before they impact project timelines.
• Cross-Functional Alignment: Keep internal leadership, legal counsel, cross-functional stakeholders, and external partners (brokers, landlords, vendors) synchronized, accountable, and moving forward.
• 3. Transaction Oversight & Domain Mastery (Learnable / Applied Skill)
• Proactive Execution: Translate high-level real estate strategies into actionable multi-step transaction plans. Quickly absorb ATB's leasing processes and commercial real estate concepts to critically evaluate and set optimal deal flow schedules.
• Document Control & Quality Assurance: Oversee the review, tracking, and routing of complex legal contracts (LOIs, Lease Agreements, Amendments, DocuSign execution packages), enforcing strict quality control standards that eliminate rework and ensure total data accuracy for seamless executive review.

Project Description:

Stream 1: Transaction & Project Governance
Establish standardized real estate & leasing project management practices across all corporate and branch real estate initiatives. Own master schedules, manage critical path milestones, and ensure tracking sheets and Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS) platforms are accurate, and up to date at all times.

Stream 2: Stakeholder Management & Operational Alignment
Act as the central project engine connecting internal real estate leadership, legal counsel, brokers, landlords, and cross-functional stakeholders. Coordinate due diligence activities, synthesize incoming requests, and present structured recommendations and clear next steps to leadership.

Stream 3: Quality Assurance, Reporting & Artifact Management
Ensure all transaction documentation meets ATB's highest quality standards before reaching executive desks. Oversee document control, prepare executive status reports, and manage the execution process (DocuSign, contract logging, senior management memos) with autonomy to deliver zero-rework materials directly to senior leadership.
