The Opportunity
We're looking for an organized, hands-on operator to join Momentum as our Real Estate Manager, coordinating the day-to-day of our real estate portfolio and construction projects across 9 U.S. offices. You'll be the connective tissue between our brokers, architects, GCs, project management partners, and vendors, driving deal analysis, space planning, and lease compliance so our real estate keeps pace with the rest of the business. Ready to join our team?
Join us in this full-time role, based in our Dallas office at The Link: 2601 Olive Street, Dallas, TX. Be part of a vibrant community where amazing people, data & insights, and perpetual innovation converge to shape the future of digital commerce!
About This Role at Momentum
As our Real Estate Manager, you'll be the one keeping our real estate portfolio and construction projects moving day to day. Here's a glimpse into what your responsibilities will look like:
- Act as our internal SME on lease terms and deal points, drive market research, financial/lease analysis, and options comparisons on live deals, bringing forward first-draft recommendations rather than starting from scratch each time
- Serve as the go-to contact for our brokers, keeping information and next steps moving without owning the relationship or the negotiation
- Track every active market, lease expiration, and renewal window so nothing gets discovered at the last minute
- Stay closely looped in with the building's GC (where we use the building as GC) or our independent onsite project management firm on status, budget, and schedule across active buildouts
- Coordinate the daily decisions and steady stream of communication that come up between IT, the PM firm, designers, architects, and our furniture vendor, and flag risk early
- Own test-fit coordination for new buildouts and space planning changes for existing spaces, building stack plans with our architects and Workplace Experience team
- Partner with IT on space readiness and with our Workplace team on the eventual move-in plan and employee communications
- Build and maintain our lease compliance tracking system (critical dates, renewal/termination options, rent escalations) across every market, and act on it, not just track it (CAM reconciliation and expense audits are owned by Finance)
- Grow into broader vendor contract and insurance/COI compliance tracking as the function matures
Qualifications
We're looking for someone who:
- Has 4-7 years of experience in corporate real estate, tenant-rep brokerage support, or construction/PM coordination
- Has run a real estate or construction process from the driver's seat before, not learning it for the first time
- Is comfortable being the connective tissue across brokers, PM firms, architects, and vendors without direct authority over any of them
- Is sharp with financial and lease analysis and can produce a real first-draft recommendation, not just a status update
- Has some exposure to test-fits and stacking plans, a real plus given the space planning scope of this role
When considering experience for this role, we typically find a great fit with candidates who have a minimum of 4+ years of relevant experience in the specified field. Additionally, experience in a holding company and/or in a start-up environment is a definite plus.
