• Coordinate contract execution -- managing signature workflows, maintaining executed agreement files, and ensuring proper document retention
• Provide due diligence support for real estate acquisitions, dispositions, financings, developments, and leasing matters -- including organizing and reviewing transaction documents, coordinating with internal stakeholders and outside parties, and tracking closing deliverables
