• Own site selection on the West Coast and East Coast, from market analysis and broker relationships through touring and recommendation.
• Lead leases and purchases end to end. Run LOIs, negotiate terms, and close with legal and finance.
• Design floor layouts and blueprints for each site: receiving, storage, sorting, packing, and shipping flow.
• Manage buildouts from empty box to operational. Scope, bid, and manage general contractors, run permitting and inspections, and hold schedule and budget.
• Coordinate with operations, security, and IT so every site opens with racking, power, network, and access control ready on day one.
• Stand up short-term and overflow space fast when volume demands it.
• Manage the existing portfolio: landlord relationships, lease obligations, renewals, and exits.
• Build the playbook: site requirements, buildout standards, vendor bench, and budgeting model.
• Travel regularly to sites in progress.
