About Aurora Towers

​​

Aurora Towers ("Aurora") is a Canadian telecommunications infrastructure company, backed by CVC DIF, a leading global infrastructure private-equity investor. The company builds, owns, and operates wireless communication assets across Canada. Aurora leases space on its assets to wireless communications companies and assists companies deploying their mission critical networks. Aurora is seeking a Real Estate Lease Administrator to support the company's growth across Canada and with its wireless partners.​

​

Aurora is in the process of building out its Canadian Real Estate function, including the modernization of its systems, the refinement of its agreement templates, and the establishment of operational playbooks that will support our portfolio for years to come. This is a meaningful time to join the team.

​

About the Role

​

Based in Montréal and reporting to the Director of Real Estate, the Land Specialist joins a small, collaborative team at a moment of real momentum and owns the land tenure beneath Aurora’s towers: managing ground lease renewals across the Canadian portfolio, leading title and compliance review to confirm and protect Aurora’s rights, and providing oversight, tracking, and analysis across the ground lease program. Aurora operates NexsysOne, a site lifecycle management platform purpose-built for the tower industry, as its centralized database; the successful candidate will work within that system alongside Microsoft 365.

​

The position suits a confident self-starter with at least three years of relevant experience, including direct experience negotiating commercial agreements, who is ready to take substantive ownership of files. Aurora provides context, mentorship, and Aurora-specific training, with a clear path to raise novel questions with the Director or legal counsel.​
