Responsibilities

Manage a high volume of active real estate transactions simultaneously, ensuring sites meet our location, technical and cost requirements, track critical dates and hold stakeholders accountable to timelines.
Outline key terms for Letters of Intent (LOIs). Partner with legal counsel to redline leases and related contracts, ensuring commercial terms align with company targets.

Synthesize complex data—financial models, site layouts, risk assessments, and legal constraints—into concise Investment Committee (IC) Memos that drive “Go/No-Go” decisions.
