ABOUT THE ROLE: This role serves as the strategic architect of Sessions’ physical footprint, acting as the bridge between high-level market data and the fast-paced reality of property acquisition. You will be responsible for defining the "golden criteria" for successful sites based on economic performance and industry insights, while simultaneously building the engine that sources these locations at scale. This involves not only leveraging digital databases and local agent networks but also creating the internal systems, tools, and playbooks that empower franchisees to navigate the property market with speed and confidence. Beyond site identification, you are a key driver of growth who proactively secures prime real estate in untapped markets, collaborating closely with the sales team to match high-potential locations with the right operators. You will manage the end-to-end lifecycle of an acquisition - from maintaining professional landlord-facing materials to coordinating a trusted network of lawyers and surveyors - ensuring that every hurdle is identified and cleared through transparent reporting. Ultimately, your goal is to turn property acquisition from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage, providing the structure and momentum needed to scale the QSR portfolio across the country. RESPONSIBILITIES: Define QSR site selection criteria based on historic site performance, site economics, and industry insights and evolve the criteria as we introduce new brands into our QSR offering.…
