Job description

Talabat's dark kitchen expansion depends on someone who can take a site from first scouting conversation through to a finished, operating location, and that's what this role covers end to end. You'll scout locations and run market research to identify high-potential neighborhoods and properties for new dark kitchen facilities. Delivery zones, demographic data and competitor density all get analyzed to validate whether a site is actually viable before anyone commits to it. A pipeline of prospective sites needs building and maintaining through direct outreach, brokers and real estate networks. Commercial negotiations with landlords, property managers and brokers sit at the center of the job, aimed at securing favorable lease terms. Letters of Intent get drafted, reviewed and finalized as deals move from negotiation to commitment. Legal, Finance and Procurement all rely on this role as the point of contact, whether that means reviewing lease agreements, tracking CAPEX and OPEX, or coordinating vendor onboarding and fit-out materials. Once construction starts, you'll shadow the Construction and Facilities teams, monitoring build-outs against lease terms, timelines and budgets. Landlords and construction teams both need a liaison when site-specific issues or delays come up during the build, and that liaison role falls here too.
