Real Estate Transaction Lead, Central

Required

• 3 to 7 years of real estate transaction experience, with meaningful time spent in-house at a healthcare, wellness, or high-growth retail company.
• You have personally led deals end to end, from site identification through LOI to signed lease, in competitive markets.
• Comfort working in a startup environment with real pressure, fast timelines, and limited infrastructure. You build as you go.
• A self-starter who does not need a fully defined playbook to do great work.
• Strong communication skills. You can represent Neko professionally with institutional landlords while keeping internal stakeholders informed concisely.
• Ability to read and pressure-test lease terms, rent schedules, and deal economics. You do not need to build financial models from scratch, but you need to know when a deal works and when it does not.
• Familiarity with GIS tools and lease administration platforms is a plus; willingness to learn them quickly is a must.
• AI: We use AI tools including Claude in daily work and expect you to use them too.
• Based in the Central United States. You should be within reasonable travel of the markets you cover.
