Jobbeschreibung

We're not just opening fitness studios—we're building the future of group fitness across Europe. BEAT81 combines cutting-edge technology with world-class coaching to deliver HIIT and RIDE workouts that are measurable, gamified, and addictive. We've built a loyal community across Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Cologne, and Düsseldorf. Now we're accelerating: to 100 studios in the next 3 years.

This is where you come in.

The Role: Your Mission

You'll own BEAT81's real estate pipeline from end to end. This means you're on the road 3-4 days a week, meeting landlords, touring properties, building broker relationships, and closing deals that become studios. You're not coordinating from behind a desk—you're out there, making it happen.

If you get energy from:

• Traveling across Germany weekly, visiting multiple properties on a tour, then returning to finalize deals
• Being the face of BEAT81 to landlords, brokers, and developers
• The thrill of turning a "maybe" into a signed lease in weeks
• Juggling 10-15 live deals at different stages—and knowing exactly which ones to push and which to drop
• Signing one new studio per month and seeing your work transform into real spaces where thousands sweat together

Then this is your role.

You'll have full ownership of the acquisition process: sourcing properties, conducting site visits, leading lease negotiations, and managing relationships with landlords and brokers nationwide. You work hand-in-hand with our internal expansion team (who handles documentation, approvals, technical due diligence and legal advice), but you're the driving force—the one who represents BEAT81 in every room, every meeting, every negotiation.

Your impact is tangible: Every lease you sign becomes a studio. Every relationship you build accelerates our growth. You're not just filling a pipeline—you're building BEAT81's physical presence across Germany.

What You'll Do

Hunt and Close:

• Actively source and evaluate commercial properties across German cities (250-650 sqm, mixed residential areas, basement spaces welcome)
• Build and nurture a strong network of brokers, landlords, and property developers—becoming the go-to person they call when the right space opens up
• Conduct weekly site tours across multiple cities, assessing properties against our technical and commercial requirements
• Lead lease negotiations from first offer to signed contract, moving fast when opportunities arise

Own the Deal Flow:

• Manage 10-15 active deals simultaneously, knowing which to prioritize and which to drop
• Make rapid go/no-go decisions based on location quality, landlord fit, and technical feasibility
• Represent BEAT81 professionally and authentically—you're our ambassador, and landlords should feel confident partnering with us
• Push deals forward quickly with brokers, landlords, and developers, while the expansion team handles back-office tasks so you stay focused on sourcing, touring, and closing deals

Set Your Own Rhythm:

• You plan your week your way, hitting the road and visiting leads whenever it gets deals signed fastest
• Use your gut and experience to screen out bad fits early (wrong landlord, wrong location, wrong terms) before wasting time
• Collaborate with our internal team on documentation, approvals, and construction specs—but you set the pace

Build for Scale:

• Establish efficient processes and broker relationships that compound over time
• Share insights from the field to refine our site selection criteria and negotiation playbook
• Help us hit 12+ studio openings per year consistently across Germany

You Are:

Experienced & Proven:

• 1+ years in commercial real estate, ideally in retail or fitness leasing
• Track record of closing 10+ lease deals per year independently
• You've done this before—you know how to read a floor plan, spot red flags, and negotiate lease terms that work

A Natural Networker & Closer:

• You build trust quickly with landlords and brokers—they enjoy working with you
• You're persuasive without being pushy, transparent about what we need, and skilled at finding win-win solutions
• You have strong commercial instincts: you know when to push, when to walk away, and when a deal is too good to let slip
• You love owning outcomes, not just tasks—this role is yours to shape and drive
• You're comfortable traveling 60-80% of the time across Germany (your home base is ideally in Berlin but we are flexible here)
• You don't need micromanagement; you need clarity, resources, and the freedom to execute

Passionate About Fitness & BEAT81:

• You understand group fitness (ideally you've tried it yourself—cycling, HIIT, boutique studios)
• You can authentically represent what makes BEAT81 special: the tech, the community, the energy
• You get excited about finding the perfect space and imagining it filled with 40 people crushing a workout
• German on a native speaking level for landlord negotiations and broker calls
• Business-level English for internal collaboration

Why This Role Is Different

Most real estate jobs are slow, bureaucratic, and far removed from impact. This one isn't.

• Speed: You'll close deals fast. We've built internal processes to support you moving fast when the right opportunity comes.
• Autonomy: You own your pipeline, your travel schedule, and
