Who we are

We are the market leader in commercial real estate services and investments and provide an integrated suite of high-quality real estate services to our clients across Africa and the Middle East, including facilities management, advisory & transaction services, project management.

We support predominantly corporate clients who buy services on a contracted basis all across the Middle East and Africa - even globally, depending on their portfolio.

About the role

We're looking for a detail-driven Lease Audit and Compliance Officer to lead the reconciliation of the Client's lease data across physical site schedules, and SAP records.

Your main mission: identify mismatches, fix discrepancies, and tighten compliance across the board.

This role demands more than just review work — you'll also be expected to shape how we audit going forward. That includes standardizing document formats, improving workflows, and building tools like checklists and trackers to streamline and future-proof the process.

What you will bring

  • CA(SA) qualification
  • Strong attention to detail and analytical mindset
  • Working knowledge of lease agreements and commercial terms
  • Experience with SAP or similar enterprise systems
  • Proficient in Excel, Word, and audit documentation practices
  • Comfortable working independently and driving process ownership
  • Background in property, compliance, finance, or telecom infrastructure is a bonus

What you will be doing

You will be responsible for the following:

  • Conduct lease audits by cross-checking:
  • Site schedules vs. on-site conditions
  • Lease agreements vs. SAP-loaded data
  • Identify and resolve discrepancies in lease terms, billing information, site data, and compliance items.
  • Flag risks such as outdated information, undocumented amendments, or billing errors.
  • Document audit findings with clear summaries, evidence, and recommended actions.
  • Standardize templates and reports to ensure consistency and clarity in how data is captured, presented, and communicated.
  • Collaborate with internal teams (legal, finance, operations) to ensure updates are made across all relevant systems.
  • Create and maintain checklists, trackers, and SOPs to streamline future audits and handovers.
  • Recommend process improvements based on recurring issues or inefficiencies observed during audits.
  • Ensure compliance with contractual obligations, internal controls, and audit readiness
  • standards.

What Success Looks Like

  • 100% of sites reviewed, with clear and traceable audit trails
  • Reduced turnaround time for identifying and correcting data mismatches
  • SAP records align with real-world site and contract conditions
  • Standardized documentation adopted across the Client's lease management process
  • Continuous improvements logged and rolled out across audit cycles

Embark on a rewarding career journey with CBRE Excellerate, where your talents will be valued, and your contributions will make a tangible impact. If you are passionate about doing your best work, collaborating with like-minded individuals, and embracing new challenges, we invite you to submit your application today.
