Assistant Leasing Manager, Real Estate - Lakeland (Real Estate)
Publix Super Markets tops the list of privately-owned supermarkets in the US. We hold no long-term debt and continue to grow year after year. Publix and our associates excel in community involvement, volunteerism, and environmental sustainability. Our collective commitment to diversity has contributed to our success in being a great place to work and shop. It's satisfying to work for – and be an owner in – a Fortune 100 company that is widely recognized as a leader in the supermarket industry.
The Real Estate Assets department owns and manages a portfolio of nearly 500 Publix-anchored properties. The department manages the portfolio in-house including Property Management, Lease Administration, Leasing, Acquisitions, and Asset Management teams. Within the department, the Assistant Leasing Manager co-manages the leasing strategy with the Leasing Manager to ensure revenue is maximized at company-owned shopping centers. Additionally, they analyze trade area data to project market rents for existing tenant lease renewals, current vacancies relating to expansion leases and pending acquisitions.
In Publix's corporate offices, we value in-person interactions, similar to those our store associates have with customers. Many of Publix's corporate offices offer work from home up to two days a week. Each business area implements their policy differently and should be discussed during interviews.
