About the Role

The Senior Manager will be Ever’s lead deal executor, taking sites from first tour through executed lease and hand-off to construction across multiple markets at once. This role will work closely with co-founders, management, brokers, landlords, and legal counsel to secure locations that meet Ever’s operational needs, financial targets, and opening timelines. The ideal candidate is an exceptionally strong negotiator and deal manager with a proven track record of independently closing transactions. This role operates with a high degree of autonomy, keeping many deals moving at once and making day-to-day decisions within approved parameters.

What You’ll Do

Site Sourcing and Evaluation

  • Lead site requirements for retail, reconditioning, storage, and other operational uses.
  • Source opportunities through brokers, landlords, developers, and direct outreach, and research trade areas, customer access, and competition for each site.
  • Lead site tours and assess property suitability, including visibility, parking, vehicle circulation, building layout, power capacity, and expansion potential.
  • Represent Ever with brokers, landlords, and municipalities as the day-to-day lead on assigned markets and transactions.
  • Maintain an active, prioritized pipeline of sites and provide clear recommendations to co-founders and company leadership.

    • Negotiation and Deal Execution

  • Lead negotiation of letters of intent, leases, amendments, and renewals within approved parameters, from first proposal through executed lease.
  • Negotiate key business terms, including rent, TI allowances, free rent, term, options, use clauses, signage, and landlord work.
  • Prepare site comparisons, occupancy cost analyses, project budgets, and approval materials, and present deal recommendations for approval.
  • Coordinate with legal counsel and internal stakeholders to track business terms, resolve open items, and advance transactions.
  • Manage transaction schedules, critical dates, dependencies, and documentation so deals close on time.
  • Evaluate opportunities to improve occupancy costs, space utilization, and lease terms.
  • Improve day-to-day deal tools, such as LOI templates, site scorecards, and critical-date trackers.

    • Due Diligence and Development Coordination

  • Run zoning and permitted-use reviews, environmental assessments, property inspections, and utility and power capacity checks with qualified partners.
  • Partner with construction, operations, and launch teams to evaluate feasibility, improvement costs, utility needs, and opening schedules.
  • Identify site constraints early and escalate risks with practical recommendations.
  • Track landlord deliverables, possession requirements, and key milestones through handoff to construction and operations.

    • What You Bring

  • 7–10 years of commercial real estate experience in transactions, leasing, tenant-rep brokerage, or corporate real estate.
  • A strong track record of personally negotiating and closing a high volume of LOIs and leases, ideally on the tenant or corporate-occupier side.
  • Experience with retail, automotive, industrial, service, or other operationally complex properties.
  • Deep knowledge of commercial lease economics, lease language, deal structures, and due diligence.
  • Ability to run many concurrent deals with strong attention to detail and consistent follow-through.
  • Strong financial analysis skills, including proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets.
  • Deep fluency working with AI platforms to produce analysis and reporting (e.g., Claude).
  • Ability to interpret site plans, surveys, zoning information, and operational requirements.
  • Clear communication, sound judgment, and effective negotiation and relationship-management skills.
  • Willingness to travel approximately 30–40% of the time for market visits, site tours, and project meetings across California, the Pacific Northwest, Texas, and future markets.
  • Bachelor’s degree in real estate, business, finance, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

    • Preferred Experience

  • Experience supporting expansion across multiple states.
  • Familiarity with automotive-use approvals, permitting, EV charging infrastructure, and utility coordination.
  • Experience in industrial or flex leasing.

    • Compensation and Benefits

    The Senior Manager, Corporate Real Estate position offers an annual base salary of $155,000–$180,000, a 15% target annual bonus, and stock options. Base salary within the range will depend on relevant experience, qualifications, and skills.
