Position Overview

This senior role sits at the intersection of client leadership and team operations for a specialized agency leasing advisory group within JLL's New York City platform. The position owns day-to-day execution across a significant Manhattan office portfolio, leads a structured account management team, and serves as the primary point of accountability for client deliverables and transaction outcomes. Alongside execution, the role carries active business development responsibility — with a particular focus on building relationships with owners, investors, and capital partners. This is a hands-on, deal-executing seat with genuine leadership scope.

Key Responsibilities

Business Development & Client Leadership

• Originate and pursue top-tier landlord-representation mandates across Trophy and Class A Manhattan office buildings

• Build and maintain relationships with institutional owners, family offices, and capital partners — with a focus on early engagement before a formal leasing process begins

• Provide senior-level deal oversight and strategic advisory on complex, multi-party transactions

Team Leadership & Culture

• Drive vision, culture, and performance standards for a structured account management team

• Mentor account managers on deal execution, client communication, and the use of the team's proprietary technology and analytical tools

• Foster a high-performance, collaborative culture consistent with JLL's values

Account & Transaction Management 

• Maintain day-to-day ownership of active client accounts across a Manhattan office portfolio

• Oversee all client-facing deliverables, from initial positioning through lease execution and closing

• Drive seamless coordination across leasing, research, marketing, and JLL platform resources

Cross-Functional Coordination 

• Partner with research, marketing, technology, NYCAG and Human Capital teams to deliver comprehensive client solutions
• Leverage firm-wide capabilities to maximize client value and competitive advantage 

• Ensure consistent communication and alignment across internal stakeholders 

 

Required Qualifications 

• 10+ years of experience in agency leasing or landlord representation in a major market, with a meaningful portion of that in Manhattan

• Demonstrated track record originating and executing significant leasing mandates at the Trophy or Class A level

• Established relationships with institutional investors, ownership groups, and real estate decision-makers

• Proven ability to lead a team — setting standards, developing talent, and holding people accountable, not just overseeing them

• Comfort operating in a technology-forward environment; this group uses proprietary analytical and workflow tools as a core part of how work gets done

• Exceptional communication, negotiation, and presentation skills

 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Existing book of business or demonstrable ability to generate new client mandates 

• Experience managing cross-functional teams and complex stakeholder relationships 

• MBA or advanced degree in real estate, business, or related field
