PureGym US is growing its presence along the Eastern Seaboard, and every site we open, renew, or reposition has to work hard commercially to be successful. The Senior Manager of Real Estate Asset Management is responsible for making that happen across our North American portfolio.

You will optimize a portfolio of leased properties by leading negotiations, managing lease administration, advancing portfolio optimization initiatives, and partnering with internal and external stakeholders to protect PureGym's interests and create value. The role covers complex real estate matters, strategic projects, and calls for someone who can read a lease closely, hold their own with a landlord, and keep dozens of live matters moving at once with professionalism and discretion.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage a portfolio of real estate assets in support of company objectives and portfolio optimization strategies.
• Lead and support negotiations with landlords, lessors, brokers, consultants, and other external parties covering rent reductions, lease renewals, lease modifications, buyouts, purchase options, rights of first refusal, and other value-creation opportunities.
• Review, analyze, and prepare real estate documentation, including leases, subleases, amendments, notices, estoppels, SNDAs, purchase option materials, and related legal and portfolio records.
• Receive, track, and communicate notices related to owned and leased properties, including club opening and closing notices, kick-out and co-tenancy provisions, and landlord communications.
• Review and validate CAM reconciliations, operating expense pass-throughs, real estate taxes, and insurance charges, challenging landlord billings where PureGym is over-charged.
• Support business requests involving common area maintenance, new product and service offerings, club amenity additions, signage and exterior modifications, and other asset-related obligations under the lease.
• Interpret lease provisions governing repair, maintenance, and service responsibilities, and advise internal teams on where obligations sit between PureGym and the landlord.
• Partner with internal business units, senior leadership, legal counsel, club operations, finance, and construction teams to resolve issues and advance company interests.
• Follow up with outside counsel, brokers, consultants, vendors, and landlords on active matters, disputes, vacant space opportunities, asset dispositions, and special projects.
• Participate in budget preparation, due diligence for new sites and acquisitions, strategic planning, process improvement, and special projects across the portfolio.
• Supervise external consultants and vendors to ensure performance aligns with PureGym standards, priorities, and objectives.
• Maintain confidentiality and discretion in all real estate matters, and contribute to team goals, financial targets, and key result areas.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Required

• Bachelor's degree in law, business, finance, real estate, or a related discipline; equivalent combinations of education and relevant experience will be considered.
• Five to seven years of relevant experience in real estate, lease administration, asset management, legal documentation, portfolio management, negotiations, or a related field.
• Strong experience working with the Legal sphere of Real Estate, with the proven ability to work with and manage Attorneys.
• Demonstrated experience reviewing leases, amendments, notices, property documents, and other real estate agreements.
• Strong proficiency with Microsoft Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Teams.
• Ability to communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders, including senior leadership, landlords, attorneys, consultants, brokers, and club teams.
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment with limited supervision.
• Strong writing, analytical, negotiation, problem-solving, and follow-up skills.

Preferred

• Experience in retail, hospitality, or another multi-site consumer business.
• Working knowledge of lease administration or IWMS platforms.
