As the Manager of Real Estate at Smalls Sliders, you will play a pivotal role in directing the real estate functions and development plans for both integrated franchise and company development. Your primary objective will be to maximize profitable growth through a comprehensive real estate strategy. This position requires a strategic mindset and the ability to work closely with leadership and the Franchise Development Team to develop a robust real estate strategy in targeted markets. You will utilize sophisticated mapping tools to analyze these markets, determining optimal placement and development priorities for the brand. In this role, you will provide franchisees with a strong vision, coaching, tools, and support to ensure that their development goals are met. Managing a broker network with extensive experience and knowledge of target markets will be essential, as you will proactively create a pipeline of strong real estate opportunities. You will assist franchisees with site identification, negotiating Letters of Intent (LOIs) and leases, and ultimately facilitating the opening of high-performing real estate locations for the brand. Conducting site tours and driving the real estate committee acceptance process will also be part of your responsibilities. Your role will involve sourcing real estate through various channels, including ICSC, broker communication, and touring markets and sites with franchisees. You will attend industry functions and networking events to build relationships and identify opportunities. Additionally, you will partner with design and construction teams to ensure that projects move efficiently through due diligence, entitlements, and design and construction phases. Supporting franchisees with ongoing real estate functions, such as renewals, relocations, and lease issues, will also be part of your duties, along with any other responsibilities assigned by management.
