About the Role

CBRE’s Investor Client Coverage team is seeking a Senior Coverage / Relationship Lead to expand and deepen the firm’s institutional client coverage capabilities. CBRE’s Investor Client Coverage is comprised of senior enterprise leaders responsible for coordinating and delivering CBRE’s comprehensive services to its most strategic investor clients.

This role requires developing a deep understanding of client objectives and orchestrating cross-functional teams to meet complex, multi-dimensional client needs.
