The Accommodation Leasing Manager (Staff Accommodation Operations) within Qiddiya Investment Company is responsible for end-to-end leasing governance and performance management across a rapidly scaling staff accommodation portfolio expected to reach approximately 13,000 residential units by 2030. The role ensures leasing readiness, demand planning, contracting, occupancy optimization, and post-leasing asset performance, acting as the client-side owner for leasing governance, unit allocation, and resident lifecycle management. The position ensures alignment with HR, Property/Asset Management, FM operators, Legal, Finance, Security, and specialist service providers to deliver a consistent, service-led leasing journey. Responsibilities include managing leasing strategy, SOPs, governance frameworks, eligibility rules, allocation principles, and pricing/charge-back recommendations, while maintaining structured reporting across occupancy, leasing pipeline, arrears, renewals, churn, and unit readiness. The role ensures full compliance with approved contract templates, privacy requirements, regulatory obligations, and operational standards across Saudi Arabia and GCC frameworks. It requires oversight of leasing systems, CAFM/CMMS integration, data governance, dashboards, and reporting structures to ensure a single source of truth for availability, occupancy, and resident mapping. The manager oversees lease execution, move-in/move-out coordination, inspections, inventory checks, condition reporting, deposit handling, damage recovery, vacancy turnaround, and unit readiness SLA compliance. Additionally, the role drives revenue optimization through upselling strategies such as room upgrades, parking, F&B/retail packages, housekeeping, and laundry add-ons. It ensures proactive vacancy management, turnaround efficiency, and leasing velocity optimization through continuous monitoring of operational KPIs. The position plays a key role in resident experience management, ensuring service recovery, escalation handling, communication management, and retention initiatives. It also supports financial governance through billing reconciliation, arrears monitoring, revenue leakage tracking, and budget input forecasting. The role ensures scalable leasing operations through process optimization, SOP development, operator training, continuous improvement initiatives, and risk mitigation strategies for large-scale workforce accommodation assets.
