About this role

Stonewood Group is a Wellington-based investment and operating group with a growing commercial property portfolio spanning office, retail and hospitality assets. We're adding a dedicated Commercial Leasing Manager to convert a significant vacant-space opportunity across our Wellington portfolio into signed, performing leases.



The role

Reporting to the Head of Property Operations, you'll own the full leasing cycle for assigned Wellington vacancies — from prospecting and qualifying tenants through to inspections, proposals, negotiation and lease commencement. This is a hands-on, deal-execution role with clear commercial parameters, a genuine pipeline of opportunity, and direct exposure to portfolio strategy.



What you'll do

  • Build and work target lists across office, retail and hospitality occupiers, and run disciplined outbound prospecting.
  • Qualify enquiries, conduct professional property inspections, and progress opportunities to proposal stage.
  • Prepare commercially sound proposals and lead routine negotiations within approved parameters.
  • Coordinate transactions through to lease commencement — heads of terms, due diligence, legal instructions and handover.
  • Maintain an accurate leasing pipeline and report activity, forecasts and market intelligence.
  • Work closely with the Property Manager, internal delivery teams, external agents and legal advisers.



What you'll bring

  • At least three years' experience in commercial leasing, commercial property, agency or complex B2B sales.
  • Strong prospecting discipline and confidence engaging senior business decision-makers.
  • A track record of qualifying opportunities, running inspections and closing negotiated outcomes.
  • Sound commercial grasp of net rent, OPEX, GST, incentives, reviews and lease structuring.
  • Excellent written communication and CRM/record-keeping discipline.
  • Sound judgement, discretion, and comfort operating within delegated authority.



What's on offer

  • Competitive base salary, plus KiwiSaver and a performance incentive (target approx. 15% of base).
  • Permanent, full-time role based in Wellington.
  • A defined, well-resourced portfolio opportunity — not a cold-start book.
  • Direct reporting line to the Head of Property Operations, with genuine input into portfolio strategy.
