This role is responsible for leading and executing complex real estate transactions, including lease negotiations, renewals, restructures, extensions, and relocations across a retail national portfolio. Responsibilities include developing and implementing transaction strategies, partnering with business leaders to align real estate decisions with workforce and operational needs, and overseeing transactions from initial underwriting through execution and close.
