POSITION SUMMARY

We are seeking a Junior Leasing and Asset Manager to own the financial and operational performance of our parking portfolio — approximately 1.5 million square feet of garage space and 8,000 spots across our New York, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia holdings.

This is a hands-on seat with direct accountability for revenue, operator performance, and the annual budget.

• Own monthly revenue collection, verification, and reconciliation across all parking operators and percentage-rent tenants

• Audit operator statements against lease and management agreement terms; identify, quantify, and recover underreporting, missed escalations, and uncollected percentage rent

• Build and own the annual operating budget and reforecasts for the parking portfolio; explain and defend variances to ownership

• Drive rate strategy monthly versus transient mix, pricing by submarket, and yield decisions and measure the revenue impact of each change

• Partner with accounting on billing, collections, CAM reconciliations, and year-end true-ups

Operator & Agreement Management

• Serve as the owner-side principal contact for parking operators, holding each to the terms of its agreement

• Lead operator RFPs end to end: market outreach, proposal analysis, underwriting of operator economics, and recommendation to senior management

• Negotiate and document agreement renewals, amendments, and new operator agreements alongside legal and senior leadership

• Manage operator transitions, including staffing, systems cutover, and revenue continuity

• Maintain the abstract database of key agreement terms, critical dates, and reporting obligations, and act on them ahead of deadline

Asset Strategy & Capital

• Develop and maintain an asset-level plan for each garage: positioning, capital needs, hold strategy, and revenue upside

• Model the impact of rate changes, agreement structures, capital projects, and operator transitions on NOI and asset value

• Scope, justify, and help oversee capital projects, revenue control and access technology, equipment replacement, restoration, lighting, and signage

• Evaluate alternative uses and emerging demand drivers (EV charging, fleet and micromobility parking, monthly contract partnerships) and bring forward recommendations

Reporting & Oversight

• Prepare monthly and quarterly asset performance reporting for senior management and ownership

• Conduct regular site inspections confirming facilities are clean, safe, well-maintained, properly staffed, and operating in line with agreement terms

• Flag deferred maintenance, capital needs, and lease or license compliance failures, and track them to resolution

• Monitor NYC regulatory obligations affecting the garages, including DOB and FDNY requirements, licensing, and Local Law inspection cycles
