Work Setup

• Must have a computer/laptop with a webcam
• Reliable high-speed internet

What You'll Do

• Abstract every executed lease and amendment (rent, escalations, CAM/tax/insurance terms, options, notice windows, exclusives, co-tenancy) into the lease database.
• Maintain the critical date calendar (options, renewals, termination rights, TI deadlines, insurance renewals, estoppels) and give advance notice.
• Route and file leases, amendments, estoppels, SNDAs and consents, and keep an indexed digital lease file.
• Set up rent records at commencement and keep escalations, amendments and abatements current.
• Validate every monthly billing (base rent, CAM, tax, insurance, percentage rent) against the lease before payment, and prepare the payment file for Accounting.
• Manage the outsourced CAM and tax audit, review findings against the lease, and track approved claims through to credit or refund.
• Screen year-end reconciliations on receipt and correct errors right away.
• Track real estate tax bills and assessments, verify pro-rata shares, and flag protest candidates.
• Issue and maintain certificates of insurance for every location to each lease's requirements.
• Monitor landlord obligations and put landlords on notice when they are unmet.
• Maintain W-9s, landlord and property manager records, and payment instructions, with verified controls on any banking changes.
• Support franchisor and lender consent, estoppel and reporting requests.
• Act as the day-to-day contact for property managers on statements, reconciliations, certificates and documents.
• Prepare and file TI allowance draw packages and track them through to receipt.
• Support back-charge claims and portfolio events such as closures, relocations, assignments and subleases.
• Keep the lease database accurate, and produce recurring reports (critical dates, rent roll, occupancy cost, audit savings, insurance compliance).
• Write and maintain SOPs, and help define, train and supervise a future associate role.

What We're Looking For

• 4+ years in U.S. retail or commercial lease administration, lease accounting or property accounting, ideally with multi-site portfolios
• Ability to read and accurately abstract U.S. shopping-center leases, including CAM, tax and insurance pass-throughs, caps, exclusions, options and notice requirements

• Experience managing certificates of insurance against lease-specific requirements
• Advanced Excel
• Excellent written and spoken English for direct, professional correspondence with U.S. landlords and property managers
• Exceptional accuracy and follow-through, and comfort owning a deadline calendar where a missed date has real financial consequences
• Preferred: a degree in Accounting, Finance, Real Estate, Business or Law
• Preferred: experience with a lease administration platform, e-signature tools and an ERP/AP system
• Preferred: experience supporting a growing portfolio (new openings, TI collection) or working with a U.S.-based team from offshore
