Job description
Our client, 3CDC, is searching for a Director of Commercial Leasing to lead the strategy, growth, and execution of leasing efforts across one of the most impactful real estate portfolios in Cincinnati. This is not a traditional brokerage role. They are looking for someone who understands how to build neighborhoods, curate experiences, and bring the right businesses into the right spaces to create long-term community success.
This role will oversee leasing strategy for a diverse portfolio of retail, office, and restaurant spaces while leading a collaborative leasing team focused on occupancy growth, tenant retention, and long-term property performance.
What You’ll Be Doing
Lead day-to-day commercial leasing operations across retail, office, and food & beverage assets
Develop and mentor the commercial leasing team while driving accountability and performance
Build relationships throughout the Cincinnati business community, broker network, and entrepreneurial ecosystem
Identify and secure new tenants through creative outreach and relationship building
Negotiate lease terms, renewals, amendments, and expansions
Analyze leasing performance, vacancy trends, and pipeline activity to improve portfolio performance
Partner with marketing, development, construction, and property management teams to support successful tenant launches
Help curate a strong tenant mix that supports long-term neighborhood success — not simply filling vacancies
Represent the organization at networking events, community functions, and industry events
What They’re Looking For
5+ years of commercial leasing experience within office, retail, industrial, hospitality, or related sectors
Strong negotiation skills and proven success closing complex deals
Someone highly connected within the Cincinnati market who understands the local business landscape
A relationship-driven professional who thrives in networking environments and can think strategically about placemaking and community impact
Experience building teams, developing people, and influencing others
Strong business acumen with the ability to analyze leasing trends, financials, and market opportunities
Experience with CRM or property management systems preferred
Bachelor’s degree in Business, Real Estate, Marketing, or a related field required
What Makes This Opportunity Different
This is a highly visible leadership opportunity with an organization that is deeply embedded in the Cincinnati community. The right person will have the ability to directly shape the city’s growth by helping bring in businesses that create vibrancy, sustainability, and long-term economic impact.
