Director- Real Estate Development & Facilities
About the role
Flexcar is reimagining car ownership by offering a flexible, all-inclusive monthly subscription that covers insurance, maintenance, registration, and more. We are growing rapidly and committed to delivering a convenient and affordable alternative to traditional car ownership. This role owns the physical network that makes that possible.
Responsibilities
Take sites from control through certificate of occupancy across conversions, retrofits, and ground-up/build-to-suit projects.
Serve as owner's representative: architect/engineer selection and coordination, design development, and permitting.
Run general contractor selection, bid and buyout, and contract negotiation.
Own construction budget, schedule, and change-order control; report status and risk to executive leadership.
Manage tenant improvements, shop build-outs, equipment installation, and signage.
Develop prototype build standards and a repeatable playbook per node type to compress cost and cycle time.
Own market-level site strategy and network planning, sequenced against the fleet and member-growth plan.
Run the deal funnel end to end: trade-area analysis, site selection (CoStar or equivalent), due diligence (zoning, entitlement, utilities, permitting, environmental), and pipeline.
Source across every channel — second-gen retail conversions, ground-lease and outparcel, build-to-suit, and ground-up — matching format to node type.
Lead LOI, lease, and PSA negotiation and manage broker/developer relationships, in partnership with Legal and Finance.
Underwrite deals and drive them through real estate committee; own approval rate, deal velocity, and pipeline health as headline metrics.
Own facility operations, maintenance standards, and infrastructure planning across all live sites.
Maximize facility capacity and throughput to improve fleet availability and utilization.
Lead initiatives to reduce downtime and increase asset productivity.
Ensure facilities meet safety, EHS, and brand standards.
Coordinate cross-functional launch execution for new-market openings and facility transitions.
Build, lead, and develop teams across real estate, construction, and facilities.
Partner with Finance on capital planning, budgeting, and cost management.
Drive continuous improvement across standards and workflows.
Qualifications
8+ years leading real estate development in multi-site, multi-market retail, auto-service, fleet, or similar high-velocity environments, with a track record of personally opening a high volume of sites.
Demonstrated deal velocity and pipeline ownership — site selection, LOI/lease/PSA negotiation, and real estate committee approvals at volume (dozens of deals per year / large multi-site portfolios).
Second-generation retail conversion and/or ground-lease and outparcel experience, in addition to (not instead of) ground-up or build-to-suit delivery.
Site underwriting: occupancy-cost modeling, development pro formas, and lease economics.
Zoning, entitlement, and permitting experience across multiple jurisdictions.
Owner's-rep delivery: architect/engineer coordination, GC selection and buyout, and change-order control.
Bachelor's degree preferred.
