[Hiring] Director of Real Estate & Construction @Sola Kids Dental

Role Description

We're hiring our first Director of Real Estate & Construction — and if you're the right person, here's why you'll love it:

• Ownership: You are the real estate function. Site selection, lease negotiations, TI buildouts from 3,500 to 10,000 sq ft, permitting, GC management — all yours. You report directly to the CEO, and decisions get made fast. We don't have bureaucracy.
• Mission: Every location we open is a statement: that kids in underserved communities deserve a dental experience where they feel valued.
• Build Something Beautiful: Design is not an afterthought. Building stunning offices in communities that don't expect it is the mission. You'll have strong opinions about what makes a great space, and we'll want to hear them.
• Growth: We're growing 30%+ per year and building toward being the leading Medicaid dental group in the Western U.S.

What You'll Own:

• Site selection and market analysis across key Western U.S. markets
• Lease negotiations (we have broker and lawyer relationships, but you'll lead them)
• Managing TI buildouts of 3,500 to 10,000 sq ft from contract to certificate of occupancy
• TI bidding and GC management across multiple concurrent projects
• Permitting and municipal approvals
• Budget ownership for every project
• Key aesthetic decisions
• Holding contractors accountable — on scope, on budget, on deadline

Qualifications

• 5+ years in commercial real estate, development, or construction management
• Hands-on experience managing tenant improvements or ground-up retail/consumer builds
• Comfort navigating permitting processes
• An eye for great design
• Detail orientation that borders on obsessive
• An ownership mentality
• Someone who's great to work with but won't let a GC slide on a deadline

Requirements

• Medical or dental real estate experience (bonus points)
• Leasing experience on the tenant or landlord side (bonus points)
• Vertical development, land use, and entitlement experience a plus (bonus points)
• Experience scaling a multi-unit consumer brand (bonus points)
• Spanish fluency (bonus points)
• MBA (bonus points)

Compensation

$100,000 – $150,000 base, commensurate with experience.

Location

Remote, Western U.S. Must be located near a major airport (LA, Phoenix, Denver, Bay Area, etc.) and ready to travel to sites regularly.
