We operate at a global scale and are looking for practical problem solvers who thrive on real-world challenges and rapid growth.

We are seeking people who sculpt from first principles, enjoy facing adversity, and can do the impossible at record breaking speeds.
As a Site Acquisition Manager, you are the tip of the spear for network expansion. This is a pure deal role—built for an elite closer who loves the hunt, runs high-volume outreach, and turns “no” into signed agreements. You will own site acquisition end-to-end: sourcing → qualification → negotiation → contracting → signature → handoff, while keeping the top of the funnel full at all times.
You’ll partner closely with cross-functional teams (Development Managers, Legal, Design/Engineering, Finance, Operations and Marketing), but you are the deal owner accountable for pace, quality, and results. This role is for someone who thrives with autonomy, moves fast with disciplined process, and treats aggressive targets as the job—not the exception.
This role comes with expected domestic travel up to 20%. This is a high-intensity role in a fast-paced environment. Candidates should expect periods of extended hours, weekend work, and availability outside of standard business hours to meet aggressive operational objectives and company goals.
Own the top of funnel (pipeline creation)
Close deals (LOI → signature)
Qualify buildable sites early (diligence)
Operate like an owner (process + scale)
Own relationships post-signature
Build durable site-host relationships post-launch to protect performance, reduce fallout, and unlock future expansion.
