This position places you at the center of site acquisition for one of America's fastest-expanding private school networks.Your mandate is to source locations, negotiate lease terms, and manage broker networks across multiple markets, property types, and campus sizes (ranging from 25 to 1000 students) with both speed and accuracy.
