Job Description
The Senior Manager of Due Diligence serves as a critical lead within the PreConstruction Team, responsible for overseeing the team that is responsible for the comprehensive technical and legal vetting of all potential real estate assets.

- Feasibility Reporting: Synthesize complex technical data into concise "Go/No-Go" feasibility reports for a range of stakeholders, highlighting potential cost-drivers or schedule-impactors.
- Build-out Compatibility: Assess the alignment between "as-is" site conditions and the technical requirements of the client’s prototype or specific use-case.
Regulatory & Entitlement Oversight
- Jurisdictional Review: Navigate complex municipal zoning ordinances, land-use restrictions, and local building codes to confirm the viability of intended operations.
- Permit Strategy: Identify required discretionary approvals (e.g., variances, conditional use permits) and establish critical path timelines for procurement.
- Environmental & Legal Compliance: Oversee the procurement and critical review of ALTA surveys, Title Commitments, and Phase I/II Environmental Site Assessments (ESA).
Lease Integration & Work Letter Negotiation
- Linguistic Precision: Collaborate with Real Estate and Transaction Management to define the Landlord’s Work and Tenant’s Work within the Lease Work Letter, ensuring technical specifications are enforceable and accurate.
- Financial Safeguards: Review Tenant Improvement (TI) allowance requests against verified site conditions to prevent capital expenditure overages.
Strategic Vendor Management
- Consultant Procurement: Manage a national or regional network of third-party consultants (Environmental, Geotechnical, Civil, and Structural).
- Quality Assurance: Audit consultant deliverables to ensure all reports meet the company's internal standards for depth and accuracy.
- SOX control responsibilities may be part of this role, which are to be adhered to where applicable.
