Leasing Manager

About the role We are seeking a high-energy, market-savvy Senior Leasing Manager to drive occupancy across our two premium commercial office buildings totalling 3,50,000 sq ft in Bengaluru. This is a hunter role — you will own the full leasing cycle from prospecting to deal closure, with a strong focus on the IT/ITeS sector. You'll have the freedom to bring fresh, innovative go-to-market ideas to the table and execute them independently.

This position will report into CEO-of SLK Hotels and Resorts. Key responsibilities Own end-to-end leasing of commercial office space across two buildings — from lead generation to LOI, negotiation, and agreement execution. Proactively identify and engage prospective tenants, with a primary focus on IT, ITeS, GCC, and technology companies expanding in Bengaluru.

Leverage and continuously expand your broker and tenant network across Bengaluru's commercial real estate ecosystem. Develop and implement innovative leasing strategies — including flexible workspace propositions, co-working partnerships, managed office tie-ups, and digital outreach campaigns. Conduct market intelligence — track competitive supply, demand trends, rental benchmarks, and new entrants in the Bengaluru office market.

Collaborate with internal teams (legal, finance, facilities) to ensure smooth deal structuring and onboarding of tenants. Maintain a robust leasing pipeline and provide regular reporting on occupancy targets, deal status, and market activity to senior leadership. Candidate profile 8–10 years of hands-on commercial office leasing experience in Bengaluru — not just advisory, but actual deal-closing track record.

Prior experience at a leading real estate services firm — JLL, CBRE, Knight Frank, Cushman & Wakefield, Colliers, or similar — strongly preferred. Deep, active relationships with senior real estate decision-makers in the IT and technology sector across Bengaluru — CREs, Admin Heads, and CFOs of tech companies. Strong commercial acumen — comfortable with term sheet structuring, rental negotiations, fit-out cost discussions, and lease document reviews.

Self-starter mindset — able to operate independently, set priorities, and drive results without heavy handholding. Creative and entrepreneurial approach to leasing — open to experimenting with non-traditional channels, events, digital marketing, and tenant experience initiatives. Excellent communication and presentation skills in English and Kannada/Hindi (preferred).

What we can offer:- Competitive fixed compensation benchmarked to top real estate firms. Attractive performance-linked incentive tied directly to leasing targets and deal closures.
