Leasing Officer - South Brisbane

This is not a sit at a desk and process applications role.

This is for someone who takes ownership.

Who moves fast.

Who understands that leasing is not admin. It is revenue, reputation and relationships.

Henderson Advocacy is Australia's leading residential and commercial buyers agency. We have purchased over $1B in property, secure 83% of deals off market, and run one of the most powerful education driven marketing engines in the country.

Now we are scaling Henderson Asset Management into the largest and most trusted asset management platform in the property space. We are hiring a Leasing Officer to own leasing across our South Brisbane portfolio, working out of our Fortitude Valley office.
