Position Description
Join a family-owned company with over 50 years of success in shopping center development and management. As Transaction Manager, you’ll take a central role in driving the leasing activity that underpins our growth. This position manages the full retail transaction process—partnering with third-party brokers and coordinating across internal teams—to maximize value, occupancy, and financial results. Your focus will span both stabilized assets and value-add redevelopment projects, with leasing as the core responsibility and direct involvement in retail acquisitions alongside the President. The role requires strategic thinking, collaboration, and a results-oriented mindset to enhance asset performance and support company growth. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives on transaction work but also wants broad exposure to the business. In our close-knit team, you’ll gain hands-on experience, contribute to meaningful projects, and develop a career path with multiple avenues for growth.
