We have a new position for a Transaction Manager to help support our national clients. You will be part of a lean, autonomous team that coordinates resources, executes leases, leads site acquisition, executes renewals, and implements dispositions on behalf of our corporate clients.

Candidates should have a minimum of 3–5 years of experience in commercial real estate brokerage, transaction management, lease administration, or a similar field. You must have a real estate license and a background in negotiating real estate deal terms. Just as important: you lean into new technology rather than tolerate it.
