Description

The purpose of this position is to co-manage the leasing strategy with the Leasing Manager (“LM”) to ensure revenue is maximized at company-owned shopping centers.

On average, each ALM fully negotiates and executes approximately 65-85 renewals per year, not including additional renewal opportunities gained when Publix acquires shopping centers throughout the year.

Responsibilities include:

• Co-managing its respective territory in conjunction with the LM by reviewing tenant requests to renew their lease or assign their business and utilizing a variety of factors to evaluate and determine if the Permitted Use is in line with the Publix leasing strategy
