45 Salted Operations Manager Jobs Hiring Near You

At Salted, we believe the future of restaurants doesn’t look anything like what we see today. The most important brands will be designed for an off-premise experience and will find new, innovative ways to build deep relationships with their customers.

Salted is the largest delivery-first restaurant group in the US, operating a portfolio of 6-8 better-for-you, company-owned brands out of each of our 35+ locations. While the majority of our locations are inside cloud kitchen environments, we are opening a growing number of freestanding storefronts that we call "self-processing" locations. Unlike traditional brick-and-mortar restaurants, these locations are optimized from Day Zero for delivery and take out (small front-of-house, limited to no dine-in seating, multiple brands), resulting in uniquely positive - and profitable - customer experiences.

We’re looking for a Real Estate Development Manager who will lead the charge in identifying new self-processing locations across the country and overseeing their development from start to finish. The right candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented, a creative thinker, and passionate about being a part of a company that is reshaping the restaurant industry.

Responsibilities:

• Identify potential locations across the US based upon market research and analysis
• Act as a central point of contact for third-party consultants, architects, and designers.
• Collaborate with CEO and legal to negotiate and secure favorable terms with Landlords and various vendors.
• Cultivate and direct key broker relationships, guiding them on site prioritization and negotiation strategies while tracking pipeline progress
• Manage the submission and retrieval of project plans and permits at various local departments, as needed
• Keep expansion on track by helping build and manage overall project schedules, budgets, and financing structures.
• Coordinate between external vendors and internal teams (Finance, Operations, Accounting, Supply Chain, etc) to ensure seamless openings of new locations and that all parties are aware of timelines
• Bridge the gap between real estate, executive vision, and daily operations, turning performance data and field insights into strategic adjustments for how current and future locations operate. We want you to feel invested in the long-term success of these locations!
• Serve as the central point of contact for Landlords on an ongoing basis
• As needed, assist internal teams, especially Operations, with various real estate needs for our cloud kitchen locations (ie, our locations that are not "self-processing"). This might entail stepping up to help with equipment purchasing, project management, and coordination with cloud kitchen facility managers.
• Partner directly with the CEO on strategic real estate planning

Requirements:

• Minimum 5 years real estate development experience - restaurant industry preferred
• A blend of analytical mindset, creative thinking, and operational grit. You are the type of person who does what it takes to reach the finish line.
• Excellent organization skills with the ability to work on multiple projects simultaneously while adhering to deadlines
• A belief (and practice) in the value of getting even the smallest details right
• Team player. You look for ways to add value outside your job description.
• Experience working collaboratively across an organization
• Experience working at a high-growth company is a big plus
• Flexibility for travel 1-2x per month.

Salary Range:

$100k - $140k

Benefits:

• Medical, Dental, & Vision Plans
• 401k with up to a 4% employer match after one year
• Unlimited PTO
• Remote Work
• Paid Family Leave
