McDonald’s Lease & Data Administrator – UK & Ireland
About Us
McDonald’s has operated in the UK since 1974, with over 1,500 restaurants across the UK and Ireland, serving nearly four million customers daily. The fastest-moving consumer services company in the world, we are one of the UK’s largest private-sector employers, with 170,000+ people across the business.
The Role
The Lease & Data Administrator plays a critical role in supporting our Development team across the UK & Ireland. You’ll be the guardian of our lease and property data, ensuring governance, compliance, and actionable insights—bridging estates, finance, and operational decisions.
This is your chance to deepen your property expertise, work in a fast-paced multi-site environment, and develop practical data-driven skills (e.g., dashboards, cost analysis, automation) that directly impact lease optimisation and cost control.
Key Responsibilities
1. Lease & Property Data Management
- Maintain accurate, audit-ready lease and property records—core systems (e.g., TRIRIGA) must be complete, consistent, and up-to-date.
- Track critical lease events (rent reviews, expirations, break options, renewals) and flag deadlines to minimise risk.
- Update and manage property master files, including:
- Landlord details & contractual obligations
- Ownership structures
- Asset ownership and usage rights
2. Financial & Cost Support
- Validate property costs (service charges, rates, insurance) against lease terms and industry benchmarks.
- Collaborate with Real Estate Accounts to resolve discrepancies in contractual liabilities and payment schedules.
- Review landlord charges, escalations, and billing discrepancies with legal rigor.
- Assist in Cost Challenge monitoring—resolving queries and recovering overcharges where appropriate.

- Archive documentation (leases, amendments, contractual correspondence) with proactive version control.
- Be the central point of contact for internal/external audits—ensuring slow-moving issues are resolved swiftly.

4. Reporting & Analytics
- Build and maintain regular reports on key metrics, including:
- Lease event timelines
- Cost trends by location/property type
- Portfolio performance indicators
- Develop/review visualisations (e.g., Power BI) to improve visibility across the estate.
- Provide data to franchises, suppliers, and HQ stakeholders—ensuring clarity and timeliness.

- Participate in cross-functional meetings—matching data with business needs and aligning stakeholders.
The Analytics Opportunity
This role is more than administrative—it’s a gateway to enhance how data drives decisions:
- Streamline reporting processes with automation, reducing manual effort and boosting data quality.

- Use comparative analytics to:
- Forecast leasing cycles
- Identify cost-capture opportunities
- Optimise portfolio planning
- Investigate process gaps for efficiency improvements (e.g., invoice verification, user queries).
