About the Opportunity

\n\n

Our client is a full-service asset management and investment services firm focused on creating value for owners, tenants, and investors. They own and manage a sizable commercial real estate portfolio and, because much of their work involves government leasing, they operate with a high level of professionalism — balanced by a genuinely family-first culture. This is a chance to own and expand a specialized function that's central to their business, with room to help build out a new business-development component from the ground up.

\n\n

The Role

\n\n

Our client is looking for a Leasing Representative to take over and grow their government leasing function as the current part-time specialist heads toward retirement. You'll negotiate government leases on behalf of the firm's own portfolio, and increasingly market lease-negotiation services to third-party owners who need help navigating the government leasing process. There's a proactive outreach component — contacting owners whose leases are expiring to offer guidance — and roughly 2–3 lease negotiations a month (it fluctuates). The government environment is \"hurry up and wait\": responses can take weeks or months, but when the ball is in your court, it needs to move immediately. Comfort pushing back and holding your ground is essential.

\n\n

What You'll Do

\n\n

Negotiate government leases on behalf of the firm's portfolio
Market and offer lease-negotiation services to third-party small owners navigating the government leasing process
Proactively reach out to owners with expiring leases to offer guidance
Manage roughly 2–3 lease negotiations per month
Help build out the business-development side of the function over time

\n\n

What You Bring (Must-Haves)

\n\n

Leasing / lease contracting experience (mandatory)
Government lease contracting officer background — GSA experience is a strong fit (~5 years is the sweet spot)
Assertive, solutions-oriented, and not intimidated by government bureaucracy
Marketing or sales aptitude for the business-development component
CRE firm experience where you've procured your own leases is a plus

\n\n

Nice to have: familiarity with government leasing portals. (Bachelor's degree not required; public-sector background not required.)
