Qualifications

• 5+ years preferred in real estate site acquisition, tenant representation, or development for QSR, drive-thru, coffee, fuel/convenience, car wash, or other pad-intensive multi-unit concepts.
• Demonstrated experience sourcing, negotiating, and closing ground-up or pad-site transactions.
• Strong understanding of LOIs, ground leases, PSAs, title, diligence periods, and entitlement fundamentals.

Responsibilities

• Own the real estate pipeline for assigned markets, including broker strategy, direct sourcing, field vetting, underwriting, negotiation, and advancement of high-quality drive-thru opportunities.
• Source and evaluate approximately five qualified opportunities per month using trade-area analytics, broker relationships, landlord/developer relationships, direct owner outreach, off-market sourcing, and local market intelligence.
• Own and manage assigned broker relationships within your territory, including setting search priorities, maintaining regular pipeline cadence, holding brokers accountable for quality and responsiveness, and identifying coverage gaps when additional local support is needed.
• Develop strong market knowledge and maintain an active presence throughout assigned trade areas. Candidates should be comfortable getting in the field, calling owners, pursuing off-market opportunities, and creating deals rather than relying solely on marketed sites.
• Identify material site issues early, including parcel geometry, stacking and circulation, ingress/egress, curb cuts, setbacks, zoning and entitlement requirements, utilities, stormwater, easements, and other constraints that could affect development or operations.
• Run qualified opportunities through test fit, internal approval, and 7 Brew corporate approval on established timelines.
• Negotiate and execute LOIs, ground leases, and purchase agreements with a focus on strong economics, appropriate diligence protections, executable site control, and clean handoff to Legal and Development.
• Target 20+ quality signed deals annually, recognizing that deal quality, conversion, and ultimate ability to open are as important as raw transaction count.
• Maintain a live pipeline of approximately 30+ qualified opportunities to ensure development plans are supported by sufficient site inventory.
• Keep every deal current in the development tracker with clear ownership, next actions, blockers, critical dates, and decisions required.
• Deliver complete and accurate deal files to Development so downstream teams understand the site, business terms, known risks, and material development considerations before handoff.
