Description
Role Title
Senior Legal Manager - Commercial Property & Leasing
Client Summary
Our client is a premier global infrastructure and real estate enterprise that powers modern connectivity across South Africa and international markets. Operating at the intersection of large-scale property portfolios and cutting-edge telecommunications infrastructure, our client fosters an agile, high-performance, and commercially integrated culture. Rather than viewing legal as an isolated back-office function, they place legal counsel directly at the commercial decision-making table to unlock value, solve complex challenges, and drive strategic expansion.
Job Description
Are you an ambitious commercial property lawyer looking to step out of a conventional legal advisory silo and directly into the heart of a fast-evolving global business?
Our client is seeking a dynamic, solutions-oriented Senior Legal Manager to lead their South African property legal portfolio. In this role, you will do far more than draft contracts - you will serve as a trusted strategic partner to commercial real estate, finance, and site acquisition teams. You will navigate high-stakes landlord negotiations, complex land rights, municipal engagements, and property dispute resolutions across a massive national asset footprint.
This position has opened due to strong internal career progression, underscoring our client’s proven track record of investing in their people and promoting top performers into broader regional leadership roles. Working in a modern, flexible hybrid environment, you will have the autonomy to take end-to-end ownership of complex real estate matters while shaping the legal strategy of a forward-thinking multinational industry leader.
