Job Summary
If you are a leasing dealmaker who enjoys being out in the market, building relationships, chasing opportunities and converting vacancies into signed leases, this role is worth your attention. This is a front-facing, target-driven opportunity for someone who knows how to open doors, work a broker network and close commercial property deals.The business behind this opportunity is an established property group with a growing national footprint and a practical, hands-on approach to asset performance. Their Gauteng portfolio includes a mix of retail, office and industrial properties, with assets across Johannesburg, Pretoria and selected outlying nodes. The team is looking to strengthen its leasing capability with two strong consultants who can help drive occupancy, improve tenant quality and reduce vacancy across the region.
The Regional Leasing Consultant will be responsible for sourcing, pursuing, negotiating and concluding leasing opportunities. The role will involve regular broker engagement, tenant canvassing, viewings, market feedback, deal follow-up and close coordination with the internal leasing and property teams. Administrative support is provided, but the successful candidate must still be disciplined with feedback, documentation, pipeline updates and follow-through to ensure deals move efficiently from interest to signed lease.
The client is considering two areas of focus, with one role leaning toward retail leasing and the other toward industrial and office leasing. Retail candidates should understand tenant mix, shopper relevance, trading patterns, turnover rentals and category balance. Industrial and office candidates should bring strong broker relationships, market knowledge, rental insight and the ability to identify suitable occupiers for vacant space.
The ideal candidate will have around five years’ commercial leasing experience, a proven track record of closing deals and a strong existing network of brokers, tenants or property professionals. They should be self-managed, commercially minded, confident in negotiations and able to manage their own time, priorities and follow-ups without constant supervision. Strong communication skills, admin discipline and comfort using systems or technology to track opportunities will also be important.
