Director of Real Estate
Overview:
Corporate Tools is looking for a Director of Real Estate.
We don’t mean someone to babysit a portfolio. We mean someone who wants to help shape where and how 1,200+ people work.
We own buildings. We’ll buy more buildings. We’ll lease space. We’ll probably do things that don’t fit neatly into a commercial real estate textbook. We need someone who can look at a map, a spreadsheet, a building, and a business problem and figure out how they all fit together.
You’ll be responsible for acquisitions, leasing, facilities strategy, vendor relationships, tenant relationships, office environments, and helping us make smart long-term decisions about our real estate footprint.
The right person isn’t waiting for a broker to bring them opportunities. They’re already three steps ahead, asking whether we should buy it, lease it, build it, or walk away.
This isn’t a role for someone who wants to maintain a portfolio.
It’s a role for someone who wants to build one.

Why you might like this job:
You are the kind of person that doesn’t like the ordinary hum drum of the Commercial Property space. You have always felt there is more to buying a building or maintaining a space than to just do it… it creates a vibe for the people spending 40 hours of their week there. This is the place to avoid analysis paralysis and bridge groups together to create an amazing space.
