• Oversee the creation and maintenance of sophisticated training curricula and system "Standard Operating Procedures" (SOPs) to ensure institutional knowledge remains current
• Architect and oversee the annual and monthly recovery process, ensuring complex, multi-layered property expenses are reconciled accurately and in accordance with diverse lease structures.
• Lead the Lease Administration portion of the due diligence process for new property acquisitions, identifying "hidden" financial shortfalls and ensuring seamless data migration into Yardi.
• Establish and monitor a robust internal audit framework. Serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors, ensuring 100% compliance with certification processes and financial controls.
• Maintain the "Precedent Lease" library and advise on major tenant negotiations to ensure consistency in language and financial treatment across the portfolio.
• Design and deliver high-level executive-ready dashboards and reporting packages that provide visibility into leasing velocity, recovery leakage, and operational bottlenecks.
• Oversee advanced escalation protocols for Accounts Receivable to proactively address defaults and prevent portfolio-wide AR growth.
• Manage recovery accuracy for complex structures (CAM, Tax, Insurance) in accordance with diverse lease terms.
• Partner with Legal, Leasing and Property Operations to advise on major tenant queries that may have significant financial implications for the Landlord.

What your strengths are:

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to influence and partner with Senior Leadership
