***Please note: this is NOT food service or QSR***

  • Passion for Franchising: With a deep understanding and love for franchising, the company cultivates a supportive and motivating culture that aligns with the needs and aspirations of franchisees.
  • Empowerment and Support: Offering exciting opportunities for current and prospective franchisees, it provides the tools, resources, and guidance necessary to elevate their businesses.

 

The synergy between business-to-business and people-to-people relationships lies at the heart of this company. By fostering an environment where franchisees can thrive and brands can grow, it presents a compelling opportunity for those looking to be part of a dynamic and impactful community. If you have a passion for entrepreneurship and believe in strategic and humane business practices, this is where your next chapter begins.

Compensation

This role offers a stable, competitive compensation structure designed to support both immediate and long-term value.

  • Base Salary: $110,000
  • Performance-based bonus opportunity
  • Comprehensive health coverage (medical, dental, vision)
  • Life and disability insurance (short-term and long-term)
  • Paid time off and holidays
  • Wellness-oriented benefits and employee support programs

 

What this means for you:

You’re stepping into a role where compensation is clear, benefits are meaningful, and your contributions are aligned with both stability and upside.

The Opportunity

This is a high-impact real estate leadership role within a growing, franchise-driven organization.

You will play a central role in how the business expands—working across site selection, lease negotiation, and network development to ensure each location is positioned for success.

This is not a purely strategic role, nor is it purely transactional—it sits in that highly valuable space in between, where your ability to think commercially and execute effectively directly influences growth.

Why this company?

This organization operates within a well-established and highly regarded franchise environment, with a strong reputation for supporting its partners and investing in long-term growth.

They are structured, collaborative, and focused—creating an environment where real estate decisions are made thoughtfully and executed effectively.

You’ll be joining a team that understands the importance of real estate as a driver of business success—not just a function.

Position Description

A Day In The Life

This is a role built around momentum, collaboration, and decision-making.

You begin your day reviewing active real estate initiatives—new locations, lease negotiations, renewals, and expansion opportunities—prioritizing where your attention will have the greatest impact.

As the day unfolds, you’re working closely with franchise partners and external brokers, evaluating sites, negotiating terms, and ensuring that each decision supports both operational success and long-term growth.

You’re balancing multiple initiatives at once—some strategic, some urgent—all requiring sound judgment and strong communication.

By the end of the day, you’ve advanced key deals, supported stakeholders across the network, and contributed directly to the continued expansion of the business.

Why This Role Is Worth Considering

If you’re currently in a role where:

  • You’re executing transactions but want broader influence
  • You’re juggling deals without a clear connection to overall growth
  • You’re ready for a position that blends autonomy with collaboration

 

This opportunity offers a more integrated, impactful platform.

Here, your work is not isolated—it’s connected to the success of an entire network.

Work Structure & Flexibility

  • Initial onboarding and training will be conducted on-site to ensure full integration into the business and its operations
  • Following this period, the role is expected to transition into a hybrid work model

 

This approach ensures you’re fully set up for success before gaining the flexibility that comes with the role.

Qualifications

  • Experience in commercial real estate, lease negotiation, or multi-site operations
  • Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously across different stages
  • Strong relationship management skills with brokers, landlords, and internal stakeholders
  • Sound business judgment and communication skills
  • Post-secondary education in business, finance, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
