Position Overview:
The Director, Retail Leasing Management, is the single point of accountability for retail leasing execution across the portfolio. This role is designed for a commercially sharp operator who thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution, building and managing broker relationships across multiple markets, leading deal negotiations from LOI through lease execution, and partnering cross-functionally with Development, Operations, Legal, and Asset Management to protect and grow retail asset value. This is not a property management role; it is a portfolio-wide leasing and deal-making position.
What You Will Do:
Local Retail Broker Sourcing & Management:
- Drive leasing velocity across the portfolio by sourcing, vetting, and selecting best-in-class local retail brokers by market—ensuring each market is represented by a partner with the right relationships and executional track record.
- Lead broker onboarding and set clear expectations around target tenants and use types, deal economics, underwriting constraints, and activity and reporting cadences.
- Manage broker coordination across tours, LOIs, negotiations, and deal progression—holding partners accountable for execution quality, velocity, and communication.
- Coordinate broker commission agreements in alignment with internal approval processes.
Retail Leasing Strategy & Market Intelligence:
- Develop and maintain market rent comps by asset and submarket to anchor leasing assumptions in current market conditions.
- Establish target rent, TI, and deal parameters by suite type and use—refreshing regularly to reflect shifts in the market.
- Ensure alignment between retail leasing strategy, underwriting assumptions, and asset business plans across the portfolio.
LOI Negotiation & Deal Structuring:
- Lead negotiation of Letters of Intent (LOIs) in coordination with brokers and Legal, balancing rent, term, TI, guaranties, and security to optimize deal outcomes within internally approved parameters.
- Operate within established “deal goal posts”—no unilateral authority to bind the company; all LOIs and leases are subject to internal approval.
Approval Memos & Internal Deal Review:
- Prepare comprehensive LOI approval memos covering key business terms, comparison to market comps and underwriting, Net Effective Rent (NER) analysis, and tenant financial and operator background—enabling informed, efficient decision-making for leadership.
- Support Asset Management leadership and JV approval processes as required.
Lease Execution & Cross-Functional Coordination:
- Partner with Legal to advance deals from LOI through lease execution, and coordinate with Development and Operations on suite layouts, delivery conditions, landlord work letters, and tenant build-out questions.
- Drive open issues to resolution while protecting asset value and maintaining deal momentum.
Tenant Transition & Portfolio Oversight:
- Facilitate smooth tenant handoff to Property Management upon lease execution, supporting Asset Management and PM as needed if pre-opening issues arise.
- Provide monthly retail portfolio updates covering active broker activity, LOI pipeline, lease status, and key risks ensuring leadership has a clear and current view of the portfolio.
- Occasional travel may be necessary as needed.
- Perform all other duties and tasks as assigned by management.
- Must be able to complete all physical requirements of this role with or without a reasonable accommodation.
Ideally, You'll Have:
- Bachelor’s degree in Real Estate, Finance, Business, or a related field
- 5–10+ years in retail leasing, retail asset management, or commercial brokerage
- Proven experience sourcing and managing third-party brokers across multiple markets
- Strong command of retail lease economics, deal structuring, and LOI negotiation
- Experience preparing deal approval memos and presenting to leadership or JV partners
You'll crush it if you have experience with:
- Working cross-functionally with Asset Management, Legal, Development, and Operations in a vertically integrated platform
- Retail leasing within mixed-use, multifamily, or student housing environments
- NER modeling and underwriting-level financial analysis
- Lease administration or deal management platforms

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as a Leasing Professional
Align your credentials to TN categories
Leasing Professional roles don't have a dedicated TN category, so your offer letter must map your duties to a qualifying occupation. A management consultant framing works when your role involves strategic property operations or revenue analysis.
Build a specialty occupation paper trail
Gather transcripts, licenses, and any property management certifications before approaching employers. Canadian and Mexican applicants who arrive at the border with incomplete credential packets face denial on the spot, with no opportunity to supplement.
Target multi-family and REIT employers specifically
Large apartment operators and real estate investment trusts have legal teams familiar with TN sponsorship. Smaller independent landlords rarely have the HR infrastructure to draft a compliant support letter or navigate CBP requirements.
Search TN-sponsored leasing roles on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate filters jobs by employer visa sponsorship experience, so you're only seeing companies already engaged with work visa processes. Use it to find leasing roles at property management companies with recent visa filings who may be open to sponsoring TN applicants.
Verify your employer letter covers all CBP requirements
The employer support letter must state your job title, duties, TN category, and that the position requires a bachelor's degree or equivalent. CBP officers at the Canadian land border have denied otherwise strong cases over a missing detail in this document.
Understand Mexican applicants face additional processing steps
Canadian citizens can get TN status at the border in a single visit. Mexican citizens must apply at a U.S. consulate abroad, which adds weeks to your timeline. Build that gap into your negotiated start date with any U.S. employer.

Find Leasing Professional JobsLeasing Professional TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Leasing Professional role qualify for TN visa sponsorship?
Leasing Professional isn't a named TN category, but the role can qualify under management consultant or another applicable classification depending on how the position is structured. Your employer's support letter must frame your duties around a recognized TN occupation and demonstrate that the role requires at least a bachelor's degree in a relevant field. A poorly drafted letter is the most common reason for denial.
How does TN compare to H-1B for Leasing Professional jobs?
TN has no annual lottery, no cap for Canadians, and can be approved at the border the same day you apply. H-1B requires entering a random lottery each spring, waiting months for processing, and costs your employer significantly more in filing fees. For Canadian and Mexican leasing professionals, TN is a faster, more predictable path to U.S. employment.
Where can I find Leasing Professional jobs that offer TN visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you search specifically for TN-sponsored leasing roles, filtering out employers who don't support the visa process. This saves you from applying broadly and discovering sponsorship limitations late in the hiring process, which is a common frustration for Canadian and Mexican applicants targeting U.S. property management positions.
What documents does a Canadian leasing professional need to cross the border on TN status?
You need a valid Canadian passport, a signed employer support letter, and evidence of your qualifications such as a degree or professional certification. CBP officers will review these at the port of entry and can approve or deny your TN status on the spot. Carrying a full credential packet, not just the letter, significantly reduces the risk of a second inspection or denial.
Can I switch Leasing Professional employers while on TN status?
Yes, but your TN status is tied to your current employer. Before you start with a new employer, they need to either file a new TN petition with USCIS or accompany you to the border for a fresh CBP entry. Working for a new employer before that approval is in place puts you out of status, which can affect future applications.
