Lease Audit and Compliance Officer at CBRE Excellerate

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• Flag risks such as outdated information, undocumented amendments, or billing errors.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
