McDonald’s Australia is the largest quick service restaurant operation in the country. Fondly known as “Maccas”, we are famous in the global McDonald’s world for adding beetroot to our Aussie burgers and creating the world’s first McCafé in Melbourne. A household name in Australia for over 40 years, we believe that our customers are the heart and soul of everything we do and make it our mission to bring a smile at every seat.

But we don’t just build burgers; we build property too!

Could you be our next Lease Administrator?
With new restaurant openings and reinvestment contributing to 2-3% of the Australian business growth each year, our National Development Group plays an integral role in growing the freehold and lease portfolio for all restaurants. Based in Thornleigh, this exciting role will see you maintain and manage all of the occupancy costs for our restaurants across the country, whilst ensuring they are accurately paid and maintained in all databases.

What can you expect on a day to day basis?

• Conduct base rent reviews, and follow up with lessors who are late with payments
• Check calculations submitted by Lessors and ensure they are in line with the Lease
• Communicate with finance regarding rent charges
• Maintain up to date quarterly CPI figures from the ABS on record
• Check calculations submitted by Lessors and ensure they are in line with the Lease

Your keys to success:
To open the door to success in this team, you must be someone who has a strong financial acumen and who is comfortable with speaking to licences (including some difficult conversations). You will also have a great attention to detail, and be able to keep up with an extremely fast paced culture.
