Join a team that's shaping Denver's industrial market

Colliers International is a leading global commercial real estate firm, and our Denver office is at the heart of one of the country's fastest-growing industrial markets.

If you love the pace of a deal-driven environment, take pride in flawless execution, and want to be part of a team that's building something meaningful in the Denver market, we'd love to hear from you.

About the Role

As Transaction Manager, you'll partner directly with our producing brokers on both landlord representation and tenant representation engagements, managing the full lifecycle of industrial leasing transactions from first pitch through closing. Our brokers rely on you to keep deals moving, clients informed, and every detail buttoned up, so they can focus on strategy, business development, and dealmaking.

This is a client-facing role for someone who communicates confidently with tenants, landlords, attorneys, and cooperating brokers, and who has a strong command of industrial real estate fundamentals across warehouse, distribution, manufacturing, flex, and logistics properties.

• Track leasing activity across the team and prepare activity reports for client and pipeline calls

Own Market Coverage and Operations

• Maintain current knowledge of industrial market conditions, comparable lease transactions, vacancy, and rental rates within target submarkets
• Support business development through market research and proposal preparation
• Maintain complete, accurate transaction records and deal files in CRM and internal systems
• Keep stacking plans current and audit active listings across CoStar, Crexi, LoopNet, and the Colliers website for accuracy

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Real Estate, Finance, Business, or a related field
• Experience in commercial real estate is preferred; 3+ years of experience ideally in industrial and/or leasing transactions
• Strong understanding of commercial lease structures, terms, and the industrial asset class
• Proven ability to manage complex, concurrent transactions on tight deadlines
• Strong analytical and financial modeling skills
• Proficiency in Microsoft 365, CoStar/LoopNet, RCM, Mailchimp, Adobe, and Ascendix RE (Salesforce)
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a polished, client-ready presence

Nice to Have

• Active Colorado real estate license, or willingness to obtain one within a defined period
• Experience supporting producing brokers across both landlord and tenant representation engagements

Who You Are

• Deal-oriented, with a strong sense of urgency and ownership
• Highly organized and systematic, with the ability to keep people, deals, files, and workflows in order
• Detail-obsessed and organized under pressure
• A sound business thinker who balances competing priorities well
• Collaborative and comfortable working across diverse stakeholders
• Confident operating with autonomy in a results-driven environment
• High energy, high standards, and a sense of humor. We work hard and hold each other accountable, but we have fun doing it, and we want someone who adds to that
