National Oral Surgery Expansion

Director of Real Estate

• Department: Growth / De Novo Development
• Reports to: Chief Growth Officer
• Direct Reports: 3 Construction Managers
• Location: [Insert — HQ-based with regional travel]

About the Role

We are opening approximately 25 new de novo practices per year, and we’re building out the team responsible for

taking each site from initial market identification through a successful opening. The Director of Real Estate & Facilities

Development owns the full physical development lifecycle of every de novo location — site selection, lease negotiation,

construction oversight, and equipment procurement — ensuring each practice opens on time, on budget, and fully

coordinated with Operations and Training.

This is a high-volume, high-accountability role. You’ll manage a team of three Construction Managers, work directly with

our national real estate partner on site sourcing and lease terms, and serve as the connective tissue between the real

estate/construction timeline and the operational readiness of every new location.

What You’ll Do

• Site Selection & Real Estate: Partner with our national real estate firm to evaluate and select sites that meet clinical, demographic, and financial criteria; participate directly in lease negotiations to protect timeline, cost, and flexibility.
• Construction Oversight: Manage a team of 3 Construction Managers across concurrent projects nationally; ensure consistent standards, timelines, and budgets across all active builds with local general contractors.
• Procurement: Own equipment and FF&E procurement, ensuring orders are timed to construction milestones and arrive ready for install ahead of opening.
• Cross-Functional Timing: Build and maintain a master project timeline for each de novo, ensuring Operations and
• Training teams are engaged at the right points (staffing, systems setup, pre-opening training) so nothing is rushed or missed
