What is a tenant researcher?

Tenant Researchers are professionals who gather, analyze, and verify information about current or prospective tenants for property owners, landlords, or real estate companies. Their work may involve conducting background checks, verifying employment and income, checking rental histories, and assessing creditworthiness. Tenant Researchers help landlords make informed decisions to minimize risks and ensure reliable and responsible tenants. They often use a combination of public records, references, and specialized databases to compile comprehensive reports. This role is essential for maintaining the quality and safety of rental properties.

What are some typical challenges tenant researchers face when gathering and verifying tenant information?

Tenant Researchers often encounter challenges related to the accuracy and completeness of data, as information from public records or third-party sources can sometimes be outdated or inconsistent. Verifying tenant details requires persistence, attention to detail, and strong communication skills, especially when reaching out to property managers or tenants directly. Additionally, managing a high volume of research requests while meeting deadlines can be demanding, so effective time management is essential. Collaboration with leasing agents and property analysts is common, ensuring that findings are aligned with the needs of the broader real estate team.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a tenant researcher, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Tenant Researcher, you need strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and experience in real estate research or property management, often supported by a relevant degree. Familiarity with property databases, CRM systems, and market analysis tools is typically required. Excellent communication, organizational abilities, and discretion are key soft skills for gathering and presenting sensitive tenant information. These skills ensure accurate, efficient tenant screening and contribute to sound leasing decisions and risk management.

The main difference between a Tenant Researcher and a Property Analyst lies in their focus. Tenant Researchers primarily identify and analyze potential tenants and market trends, while Property Analysts evaluate property values and investment opportunities. Both roles require strong research and analytical skills but serve different purposes within the real estate industry.

Full-time

Re-posted 22 days ago

Key responsibilities

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for tenants from initial interest through store opening, communicating proactively and setting clear expectations.

  • Coordinate across internal teams and external parties to track project milestones, surface risks early, and ensure progress on tenant construction projects.

  • Draft and negotiate construction work letters, develop project budgets, review tenant plans for compliance, and monitor site progress to ensure lease obligations are met.

Job description

Overview
At WS, we're passionate about building and operating places where people want to be. Our Tenant Construction Managers are the connective tissue between our tenants and the complex world of design, construction, and lease execution, and the primary reason our tenants feel supported every step of the way.
We're looking for someone who leads with relationships first. You're as comfortable sitting across from a tenant explaining the construction process in plain language as you are reviewing a set of construction drawings. You don't just manage - you guide, advocate, coordinate, and clear the path forward. You are the tenant's most trusted partner through one of the most demanding processes they'll go through, and you're the face of WS's commitment to service at every touchpoint.
Construction knowledge matters here, but it's a tool in service of the relationship, not the other way around.
What You'll Do & What to Expect
Be the Face of the Tenant Relationship
  • Serve as the tenant's primary point of contact from the earliest stages of their interest in a space, often before the lease is signed, all the way through store opening
  • Set clear expectations early, communicate proactively, and anticipate needs before tenants have to ask
  • Translate complicated construction, lease, and regulatory requirements into clear, actionable guidance for tenants and their teams
  • Create a consistently high-touch experience that reflects what WS stands for

Coordinate, Expedite, and Drive Progress
  • Own the critical path for each tenant project, tracking milestones, surfacing risks early, and keeping all parties aligned and moving
  • Be the person who follows up, connects the dots, and makes sure nothing falls through the cracks
  • Coordinate across internal teams (leasing, legal, property management, design) and external parties (tenant architects, contractors, city agencies) to keep things moving
  • Manage multiple projects at once without losing track of the details that matter

Own Landlord Work and Lease Execution
  • Draft and negotiate construction work letters (Exhibit B), clearly defining landlord and tenant responsibilities
  • Develop and manage project budgets, tracking costs and keeping stakeholders informed throughout
  • Oversee landlord deliverables so tenant projects don't get held up on our end
  • Review and approve tenant construction plans for compliance with lease terms, WS design standards, and local regulations
  • Track and communicate all critical lease milestones to make sure obligations are met and risks are caught early
  • Visit sites regularly to monitor progress, stay close to the work, and keep relationships strong on the ground
  • Maintain accurate, up-to-date project records in Salesforce so leadership and cross-functional teams always have visibility into deal status and progress

Be a Cross-Functional Partner
  • Work closely with the leasing team as a strategy partner, offering construction and deal-structuring insight early in the process to set tenants up for success before the lease is even signed
  • Build strong working relationships across leasing, legal, property management, design, and finance so you can move quickly and get things done without a lot of friction
  • Bring the right people into the room at the right time, and make sure nothing gets lost between teams

Solve Problems and Protect the Relationship
  • Spot construction and coordination risks before they become real problems, and work with tenants and contractors to get ahead of them
  • Handle difficult conversations with professionalism and a genuine focus on finding solutions
  • Keep leadership and cross-functional teams informed with clear, regular updates
  • Help junior team members grow in both project execution and how they manage tenant relationships

Embrace and Apply AI in Your Work
WS is committed to staying ahead of how the industry works, and that includes how we work internally. In this role, you'll be expected to bring an active, curious approach to AI tools - not just as a productivity shortcut, but as a genuine way to serve tenants better and manage projects more effectively.
  • Use AI tools to draft and refine tenant communications, work letters, project summaries, and status updates - freeing up more time for the high-touch relationship work that matters most
  • Leverage AI to track project milestones, surface risks, and synthesize information across multiple simultaneous deals so nothing slips
  • Apply AI-assisted research and document review to accelerate plan review, lease compliance checks, and permitting research
  • Bring an AI-forward mindset to problem-solving: know when a tool can help you move faster and when human judgment and relationship IQ need to lead
  • Stay current on emerging AI tools relevant to construction management, project coordination, and real estate operations - and share what you're learning with the team

Requirements
The right person for this role is first and foremost a great communicator and relationship manager. Construction experience gives you the credibility and context you need, but what sets our best TCMs apart is the ability to manage people, timelines, and expectations well, especially when things get complicated.
  • 7+ years of experience in tenant construction, project management, owner's representative, or construction coordination roles, ideally with landlord, developer, or OPM experience
  • A track record of managing complex, multi-stakeholder projects while keeping everyone informed and aligned
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; you write clearly, run productive meetings, and know how to deliver hard news without damaging the relationship
  • Highly organized with a disciplined approach to milestone tracking and follow-through
  • Solid understanding of lease agreements, construction documents, work letters, and city/state permitting processes
  • A genuine service mindset; you take pride in making a complicated process feel manageable for the people you're supporting
  • Comfortable with ambiguity, competing priorities, and high-stakes tenant relationships
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, and Project; experience with Salesforce or a similar CRM/project tracking tool is a plus, and familiarity with AutoCAD and cost estimating is helpful
  • Demonstrated comfort with AI tools and a proactive approach to learning and applying new technology in your day-to-day work
  • Ability and willingness to travel regionally and nationally
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, Business, or a related field preferred; equivalent experience welcomed

The expected salary range for this position is $110,000-$130,000 per year. Actual compensation will be based on factors such as skills, qualifications, experience, and location. This role is also eligible to participate in our annual bonus program.
