The ideal candidate will have 5-12 years of experience managing complex real estate and commercial contracts from both, the in-house and the law firm perspective and will have graduated within the top 25% of their tier one, tier two, or tier three law school.
Interested candidates should respond with their resume in MS Word format and include a cover letter and writing sample.
The ideal candidate will have extensive managerial experience at either a law firm, financial institution, major mortgage company or similar entity as an administrator, closing supervisor, attorney, or corporate officer, and have a thorough understanding of both the “origination side” and “legal side” of commercial real estate deals. A strong background not only in management, but also with the negotiation and review of complex commercial leases, commercial easements, and commercial closing agreements generally is essential.
The company works in a fast-paced, high-energy environment, and the candidate will need strong communication, organizational and presentation skills, with the ability to effectively multi-task, supervise, and manage multiple projects and closings. Some prior experience and an understanding of the wireless communications industry is not a requirement, but definitely a plus.
