Your opportunity

The Adelaide Central Market is more than a place to trade. It is a much-loved destination where businesses, customers and the community come together, and the Commercial Leasing Officer plays an important role in helping that environment thrive.

As part of the ACMA Team, you’ll support the Manager, Commercial and Property in managing the Market’s commercial and property portfolio, with a focus on maintaining a strong tenant mix, supporting trader success and ensuring the Market remains fully leased, compliant and commercially sustainable.

You’ll bring together your commercial leasing and property knowledge with a practical, relationship-focused approach. From negotiating leases and licences under the Manager’s supervision, and supporting new tenants through their fit outs, to managing inspections, compliance, invoicing and tenant requests, you’ll work closely with traders and internal stakeholders to keep things moving and resolve issues as they arise.

You’ll also have the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing improvement of the Market, including leading the Online Home Delivery and Click and Collect program, supporting marketing and Expression of Interest activities, and identifying ways to improve leasing and property processes. It’s a varied role where your ability to balance commercial outcomes with strong relationships will make a visible difference to the Market and its traders.
