Relocation Required (this role is located in the Twin Cities). We are a scaled, publicly traded consumer platform with a national real estate footprint across owned, leased, and developed assets. The business is asset‑intensive, capital‑disciplined, and growth‑oriented, with hundreds of millions deployed annually across new development, asset reinvestment, and portfolio optimization. Finance is deeply embedded in strategic decision‑making and plays a central role in how capital is allocated, returns are measured, and long‑term value is created.

This role sits within a sophisticated corporate finance organization that partners closely with real estate, development, construction, accounting, treasury, and executive leadership.

• Managing capital decisions impacting hundreds of millions in annual investment
• Opportunity to shape and mature a real estate asset management discipline
• Exposure to complex, high‑stakes real estate and capital allocation decisions
• Direct partnership with senior leadership on long‑term growth strategy
• Clear path to expanded leadership responsibility as the organization continues to scale

This is a senior finance leadership role at the intersection of commercial real estate, FP&A, capital allocation, and asset management. The Sr Director serves as the primary finance partner to the Real Estate and Development organization and acts as the lynchpin between corporate strategy and real estate execution.

While new development remains an important component of the role, the broader mandate is capital stewardship across the full real estate portfolio. This includes evaluating, allocating, and managing capital across ground‑up development, leased assets, maintenance, reinvestment, and improvement initiatives, with a disciplined focus on return on invested capital over both near‑term and full lifecycle horizons.

This is a strategy‑forward leadership role with an expectation of hands‑on involvement when needed. There will be periods where the Sr Director is required to go into the details to evolve financial models, assumptions, and deliverables as the business changes. The expectation is not long‑term execution in the weeds, but the ability to step in, elevate the work, drive better outcomes, and transition ownership back to the team.

Success in this role requires deep understanding of site‑level real‑estate economics paired with the ability to align diverse stakeholders around an evolving strategy. Influence, judgment, and credibility are essential.

• Lead capital planning and allocation across a large, multi‑category real estate portfolio, balancing new development, leased assets, maintenance, modernization, and improvement investments
• Evaluate competing uses of capital to ensure resources are deployed to the highest‑return opportunities
• Assess site‑level economics, return on invested capital, and long‑term asset performance across the full life of each property
• Support go/no‑go investment decisions through disciplined financial analysis and clear executive‑level recommendations

• Shape and mature a real estate asset management capability from a financial perspective
• Oversee asset‑level FP&A, forecasting, and performance tracking for existing properties
• Monitor capital deployment and reinvestment strategies to optimize asset performance and returns
• Evolve site‑level business models and assumptions as member mix, usage patterns, and operating dynamics change
• Partner with operating and development teams to ensure financial insights translate into action

• Lead financial modeling and site‑level business planning for new…
