About the Company
I am currently partnering with a rapidly expanding QSR brand, delivering 30+ new openings each year. With exciting franchise deals on the horizon and ambitious growth plans, they are now looking for an up and coming Property Acquisition Manager to join the team.
This role will support the Head of Property in driving site acquisition strategy and managing day to day property activities across the portfolio.
The Role
This is a hands-on, deal-focused acquisition role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
You will work directly with the Head of Property to identify, evaluate, and secure new sites for company-owned stores across the UK.
This isn't a desk-based role, you will be out in the market, building relationships, negotiating deals, and helping shape where the brand grows next.
Role split:
70% site sourcing, relationship building & deal-making
30% analysis, benchmarking & commercial evaluation
Key Responsibilities
Identify and secure new QSR sites across the UK (focus on North East & M5 corridor)
Build strong relationships with landlords, agents, developers & partners
Lead negotiations on leases, commercial terms & agreements
Conduct site due diligence (footfall, demographics, planning, competition)
Manage a high volume of inbound site opportunities and prioritise effectively
Benchmark deals and provide clear commercial recommendations
Track pipeline activity and report to the Head of Property
Collaborate with legal teams and franchise partners
What We Are Looking For
Experience in property acquisition, commercial real estate, or similar
Confident negotiator, comfortable dealing with landlords and agents
Self-starter with an entrepreneurial mindset
Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple live deals
Willingness to travel across the UK regularly
Resilient and adaptable, comfortable in a fast-moving environment
Desirable
Experience in QSR, retail, leisure or hospitality property
Understanding of leases, planning and commercial property law
Existing network of property contacts (especially North East / Midlands)
Exposure to franchise or multi-site environments
Why Join?
Be part of a high-growth, nationally expanding brand
Work directly with senior leadership and gain real responsibility
Clear progression as the estate continues to scale
Flexible working model (field + office)
Health insurance + travel
If you are an ambitious acquisition professional looking to step into a role with real pace, ownership, and progression, this is a standout opportunity.
