The Opportunity: We're hiring a Senior Leasing Specialist to own leasing execution across our growing portfolio. This is a deal-focused, owner-side role. You'll work directly with senior leadership on leasing strategy, portfolio performance, and real estate decisions.

You'll also lead select portfolio projects on underutilized assets, vacant buildings, and land opportunities. In a lean, entrepreneurial environment, your recommendations and execution will have a visible impact.
