Could you be our next Senior Portfolio Manager?

Ready to put your commercial property expertise behind one of the world's most recognisable brands? Want to manage a portfolio where every decision shapes the experience of millions? As the Senior Portfolio Manager, you'll be responsible for the strategic management of McDonald's freehold and leasehold properties, applying your commercial expertise to protect and grow our real property assets through a range of strategic, transactional and advisory functions. Reporting to the National Head of Property Management, you'll deliver valuable outcomes across our System. 

What you can expect on a day-to-day basis:

  • Managing key property transactions, including lease option exercises, lease renewals and variations, and site closures
  • Identifying and pursuing strategic growth opportunities such as acquiring neighbouring sites and securing additional signage
  • Negotiating market rent reviews and rental arbitration matters, and lead through property-related business interruptions to minimise loss
  • Monitoring and enforcing McDonald's property rights — first rights of refusal, lease-to-purchase opportunities, legal matters and compulsory acquisitions
  • Building and managing landlord relationships and act as the go-to for regional property matters, supporting operators and licensees
  • Converting data and trends into strategic actions and insights

Your keys to success:

  • A genuine relationship builder who values long-term partnerships with stakeholders — from landlords to licensees
  • Deep property expertise that inspires trust, plus the ability to translate complex concepts into plain English
  • Excellent prioritisation, time management and the rigorous record-keeping discipline that real property transactions demand
  • A proactive, adaptable problem solver who leads through influence and thrives on managing a commercial portfolio
