• Coordinate with Accounts Payable and DC leadership to ensure timely and accurate lease payments and approvals.
• Partner with landlords and brokers to resolve billing disputes, reconcile CAM, operating expenses, and tax charges, and confirm lease commencement and rent commencement dates.
• Perform desk audits of annual operating expense statements to validate charges against lease terms.
• Interpret complex commercial lease provisions related to rent, taxes, insurance, power usage, cross-connects, and other contractual obligations.
• Support lease negotiations, amendments, and legal redlines by providing lease administration expertise and historical context.
• Maintain accurate lease data in CoStar, identify data quality issues, and implement improvements to strengthen controls and reporting.
• Support ASC 842, IFRS 16, and SOX compliance, including internal and external audit requests, documentation, and data validation.
• Prepare and distribute recurring and ad hoc reports, KPI dashboards, critical-date trackers, and briefing materials for internal stakeholders and leadership.
• Serve as a primary point of contact for landlord and broker relationships, including escalations and issue resolution.
• Build strong relationships with Accounting, Finance, Operations, Tax, and Legal to ensure timely and accurate lease information.
• Train, mentor, and provide quality oversight for Lease Analysts.
• Drive continuous improvement across lease administration workflows, reporting, controls, and system utilization.
• Serve as backup to the Lease Administration Manager during absences, including approvals, escalations, and time-sensitive decisions.
• Support Tax with VAT recovery activities as needed by region.

Who You Are

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, Real Estate, or a related field.
• 5+ years of commercial real estate lease administration experience, preferably supporting data centers or other complex infrastructure portfolios.
