Becoming a Team Member:
We’re looking for a hands-on leader to serve as Head of Development, overseeing site sourcing, real estate negotiations, and construction execution across the U.S. You’ll be building the future of SEV—one office at a time—working directly with a small but dedicated internal team and trusted external partners. This role is ideal for someone who loves being hands-on, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and has the experience and drive to scale a high-growth brand without layers of red tape.
Responsibilities:
Own end-to-end real estate strategy for new office locations nationwide
Source, evaluate, and secure high-potential retail spaces aligned with SEV brand standards and client demographics
Leverage data-driven tools such as Buxton or similar for market analysis and site selection
Lead LOI and lease negotiations in partnership with legal and executive teams
Build strong broker relationships and gather local market intelligence in key growth regions
Construction & Design Execution
Manage construction projects from pre-construction through opening day
Oversee external contractors, architects, and vendors to ensure projects are on time, on budget, and aligned with brand standards
Drive cost efficiencies in design and construction without compromising aesthetic quality and client experience
Collaborate closely with internal teams (brand, clinical, operations) to ensure design consistency and operational readiness
Implement scalable tools and processes for project tracking, cost control, and site readiness
Lead with a hands-on approach—this role requires active involvement, not just oversight
Build and mentor a lean internal team while managing a high-performing network of brokers and vendors
Report regularly to the CEO on pipeline, timelines, risks, and opportunities
Identify and implement strategies to accelerate expansion and improve build efficiency
Ensure full compliance with local, state, and federal regulations at all sites
What We’re Looking For:
10+ years of experience in multi-unit real estate development, preferably in retail, wellness, or hospitality sectors
Proven track record of managing new site pipelines and overseeing 20+ builds across multiple states
Strong background in lease negotiation, landlord management, and construction oversight
Experience with tools like Buxton, Placer.ai, or similar for market and site analysis
Familiarity with key US markets
Demonstrated success in reducing design and construction costs while maintaining premium brand standards
Self-starter with excellent judgment, hustle, and a get-it-done mentality
Comfortable working in a small, entrepreneurial team where versatility is essential
Ability to travel nationally and lead projects in-market as needed
Nice to Have:
Experience scaling a consumer brand or wellness concept
Background in architecture, construction management, or related fields
Position offers a competitive salary
Benefits include discounts on services, 401(k)
Location & Flexibility:
This role can be based anywhere in the U.S., preferably near a city with a SEV studio for proximity to field operations.
Why SEV:
We’re expanding rapidly and creating a physical footprint that reflects our brand’s quality, beauty, and bold ambition. If you’re energized by growth and willing to get your hands dirty to make it happen, we’d love to meet you.
