Associate Leasing Manager, City Storage Systems - Los Angeles, CA
About Us:
At City Storage Systems, we're building Infrastructure for Better Food. We help restaurateurs around the world succeed in online food delivery. Our goal is to make food more affordable, higher quality and convenient for everyone. We're changing the game for restaurateurs, whether they’re entrepreneurs opening their first restaurant all the way through to your favorite global quick-service restaurant chains.
Our technology is dedicated to creating transformative digital experiences. Our work spans infrastructure, platform, and product development, combining cutting-edge technologies with thoughtful design to build scalable, user-focused solutions. Whether you're optimizing system efficiency, creating developer tools, or crafting seamless user interfaces, your contributions will drive impactful outcomes.
ProFood Properties, a division of City Storage Systems, is a nationwide industrial real estate investment platform backed by institutional equity, focused on large-scale food manufacturing and cold logistics properties. By combining committed capital with in-house design, engineering, and construction capabilities, we partner with leading food producers to deliver spaces that are efficient, scalable, and built to meet their exact operational needs.
What You’ll Do:
- Build and manage a targeted outbound strategy to identify potential tenants, referral sources, and strategic partners aligned with our development focus.
- Develop a deep understanding of food manufacturing operations, space requirements, workflows, and growth constraints to inform outreach and conversations.
- Proactively build relationships with non-tenant stakeholders (brokers, consultants, suppliers, operators, industry advisors) who can provide insight and introductions.
- Research, identify, and convert large global accounts from a prospect to an opportunity to provide a consistent, healthy pipeline of high business impact opportunities.
- Strategic planning: Track and prioritize relationships over time, distinguishing between surface-level contacts and high-value long-term partners.
- Collaborate with internal teams to translate tenant requirements into real estate, development, acquisition, and construction considerations.
- Build a pipeline of sales opportunities in collaboration with division leadership
What we’re looking for:
- 4+ years of experience, ideally in the commercial/industrial/retail real estate sector
- Experience in leasing and asset management for an investment platform or national developer is a plus
- Excellent time management/organizational skills
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
- Highly motivated, driven, self-starter, determined to achieve measurable results
- Ability to work in a fast-paced team environment
- Strong entrepreneurial spirit, self-motivated, and coachable.
Why join us:
Nothing brings people together like food. City Storage Systems is a national platform entirely focused on the food industry, developing and operating innovative real estate and technology solutions that support food production, preparation, and distribution. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to make an impact across our portfolio, working with high-caliber tenants, partners, and colleagues who are shaping the future of the food ecosystem.
- Pioneering industry transformation: As part of the ProFood Properties division at CSS, you'll be at the forefront of revolutionizing the food industry, and helping to shape the future of the food production, logistics, and restaurant landscape.
- Collaborative and dynamic team culture: Work alongside a diverse and talented group of individuals who are dedicated to mutual success. Our supportive environment encourages innovation, open communication, and teamwork, empowering you to achieve your full potential.
What else you should know:
This role is based in our Los Angeles office. We believe that people do their best work when they are together. As a company, we’re in the marketplace of ideas and innovation. When you’re constantly innovating, changing how an industry works, inventing new products and processes - and we are doing all these things - we believe we’re better as a team in-person. That’s why all of our teams (except for our field-based roles) are now working from one of our office locations 5 days a week.
