The Real Estate Senior Manager acts as a hands-on partner to franchisees, guiding them through site evaluation, REAC approval, lease and purchase negotiations, and due diligence, and working with design and construction teams to move sites into development. The Senior Manager also supports lease and portfolio matters, including renewals, relocations, and closure mitigation, to protect the long-term health of the system. The Senior Manager works cross-functionally with franchisees, market planning, development execution, design, construction, legal, and operations to ensure sites are approved, secured, and delivered on time.

Conduct site and market analyses (demographics, traffic, competitive set, sales forecasts, and returns) and present clear recommendations to the Real Estate Approval Committee (REAC). Guide franchisees through lease and purchase negotiations, advising on key terms, landlord asks, and risk, and coordinating with internal and outside legal counsel on lease review, amendments, and assignments. Support the real estate due diligence process, including title, survey, zoning, environmental, and permitting feasibility, to confirm sites are ready for design and construction. Administer tenant inducement (TI) and other landlord and developer incentives, and track milestones and funding from approval through opening. Partner with the field and franchisees to identify at-risk restaurants and develop creative real estate solutions (relocation, lease restructuring, or renegotiation) that keep restaurants operating. Work closely with Development Execution, design, construction, legal, finance, and operations to keep sites on track toward opening and remodel targets, and escalate risks early with proposed solutions. Coach and educate franchisees on the Tim Hortons real estate process, site criteria, and approval requirements, and adherence to development agreement commitments. Maintain accurate site and lease records in the project management system and other tracking tools, and produce routine and ad hoc reporting on pipeline, lease portfolio, and site performance. Identify opportunities to improve real estate processes, including using automation and AI to find efficiencies, and contribute to playbooks, templates, and standards for the broader team.

Franchise or QSR experience is an asset. Proven ability to build trusted relationships with franchisees and external partners, and to act as a practical advisor who helps them get restaurants built. Working knowledge of commercial lease structures, site selection methodologies, and real estate due diligence.
