Responsibilities

• Lead renewal efforts: tenant outreach, key‑date tracking, business‑term negotiation, and lease execution.
• Drive vacancy backfill: engage brokers, source prospects, coordinate tours, prepare deal summaries, and maintain disciplined follow‑up.
• Maintain an active leasing pipeline covering current vacancies, upcoming expirations, and anticipated turnover.
• Negotiate LOIs, renewals, amendments, and extensions with brokers, tenants, and outside counsel.
• Build proactive relationships with key tenants to understand their business, growth plans, and partnership opportunities.
• Handle special‑situation lease work such as restructurings, blend‑and‑extends, recapture‑and‑release, and other non‑standard transactions.
• Maintain leasing materials: availability schedules, rent comps, target tenant lists, deal pipelines, and leasing updates.
• Lead execution on assigned real‑estate projects: dark‑space backfill, dispositions, highest‑and‑best‑use analysis, and asset repositioning.
• Coordinate with brokers, attorneys, surveyors, engineers, architects, contractors, and municipalities.
• Support acquisitions on the front end: source leads through broker network, screen opportunities, and develop leasing assumptions.
• Build a meaningful presence in the brokerage and ownership community through events, tours, and relationships.

Requirements

• 5+ years of commercial real‑estate experience with a strong background in commercial leasing, brokerage (landlord or tenant representation), property management, development, or owner/operator work.

• Strong working knowledge of commercial lease economics: LOIs, NNN structures, TI allowances, commissions, options, escalations, and renewal mechanics.
• Ability to communicate directly and credibly with tenants, brokers, attorneys, vendors, and ownership, including under pressure.
• Highly organized; able to manage multiple deals, prospects, deadlines, and projects in parallel.
• Practical and entrepreneurial mindset; comfortable in a small private real‑estate company where priorities shift and ownership is close to the work.

• Located in or willing to relocate to Nashville, TN.
