This high-impact role will develop comprehensive real estate strategies, conduct rigorous market and financial analyses, and deliver executive-level recommendations to our CFO and senior leadership.

Responsibilities:

- Establish portfolio performance metrics and reporting frameworks that provide executive visibility into real estate investments and outcomes

- Partner with external advisors (brokers, consultants, legal) to execute strategic initiatives and negotiate favorable terms

- Identify portfolio optimization opportunities including consolidation, expansion, or repositioning strategies that enhance operational efficiency and reduce costs

Team Leadership:

- Set clear goals and priorities for the team, ensuring alignment with broader real estate and company objectives

- Provide coaching, mentorship, and professional development opportunities to build team capabilities

- Foster a collaborative, high-performance culture that emphasizes quality, accountability, and continuous improvement
