    • You will partner with Bain Treasury to ensure insurance requirements.
    • All formal documents should be saved in GRE lease administration system and key dates updated accordingly.
  2. You will collaborate with local brokers to obtain current market insights and activity in relevant buildings.

Lease portfolio administration (30%):

  1. You will proactively monitor all global leases with the aim to be looking out multiple years as space needs evolve. Leverage lease administration software and inform local office leadership of key dates to align on strategy.
    • Includes expirations, notices, expansions, and other lease opportunities.
    • You will find sublease opportunities where there is under-utilized space in the portfolio.
  2. You will evaluate commercials for potential new sites in partnership with local leadership.
  3. You will manage fact base including rentable area, usable area, work seats and capital expenditure spend. Innovate with new metrics to benchmark across Bain offices and external data points.
  4. You will combine headcount projections, occupancy rates, lease data, and future growth assumptions to create options and strategize for future real estate needs.
  5. You will advise on other real estate contracts as needed (i.e. project management, architecture, construction agreements).
