• Feasibility Analysis: Conduct initial site evaluations, including zoning checks, title reviews, environmental due diligence, and preliminary engineering/survey reviews to determine site viability and potential development costs.
• Relationship Management: Cultivate and maintain strong relationships with landowners, real estate agents/brokers, municipal officials, and community stakeholders.
• Negotiation & Structuring: Lead complex negotiations for the purchase, lease, or easement of properties, ensuring terms are favourable and aligned with budget and development timelines.
• Contract Management: Draft, review, and manage Letter of Intent (LOI), Sale and Purchase Agreements (SPA), leases, and related legal documentation in coordination with internal legal counsel.
• Due Diligence Coordination: Manage the entire due diligence process, coordinating input from civil engineers, valuers, traffic consultants, and legal teams.
• Zoning & Permitting Support: Assist the development team in navigating local government processes, including rezoning applications, variances, public hearings, and securing necessary entitlements.
• Reporting: Prepare detailed acquisition packages, financial models, risk assessments, and progress reports for senior management and investment review committees.

• Experience: Minimum of five (5) years of progressive experience in commercial real estate acquisition, with a strong preference for experience in petrol station land development, quick-service restaurants (QSR), or retail.
• Education: Bachelor's degree in Real Estate, Business Administration, Urban Planning or a related field.
