Real Estate Transaction Manager
Wolt is seeking a Real Estate Transaction Manager to join its Global Real Estate team, focusing on managing leasing matters across its international office portfolio. Reporting to the Global Head of Facilities & Real Estate, this role is pivotal in ensuring that Wolt's teams have optimal workspaces to support the company's dynamic growth. The position is based in Berlin, Germany, and involves close collaboration with business leads and internal stakeholders to make strategic real estate decisions.
The Real Estate Transaction Manager will lead the full lifecycle of office transactions, including market searches, financial analyses, and legal negotiations for acquisitions and renewals. Responsibilities encompass developing and managing transaction budgets and timelines to keep global workspace projects on track and within financial targets. The role also involves optimizing deal terms and commercial structures to maximize flexibility and cost-efficiency, as well as establishing and refining global transaction standards and KPIs to ensure consistency across Wolt's operations in over 30 countries. Additionally, the manager will act as the primary point of contact for external brokers and landlords, managing these relationships to secure favorable outcomes for Wolt.
Candidates should have extensive experience in international office leasing and transaction management, particularly from an occupier or tenant representation perspective. A proven ability to negotiate complex commercial lease terms and a deep understanding of legal frameworks across multiple international jurisdictions are essential. Strong financial acumen, including experience in budget planning and optimizing total cost of occupancy, is required. Excellent stakeholder management skills are necessary to communicate complex real estate strategies to non-expert business leaders. A proactive, "builder" mindset with the ability to work independently in a high-growth, fast-changing environment is also important. Full professional fluency in English is required; while the role is based in Berlin, the internal business language is English.
This position offers a unique opportunity to build the real estate foundation of a fast-growing tech company. Beyond managing leases, the role involves designing the "Wolt way" of real estate on a global scale. The manager will have the autonomy to own projects from day one and see their work materialize into vibrant offices across various countries. The compensation package includes a competitive salary, 30 days of paid vacation, and local perks such as Urban Sports Club subsidies and a discounted Deutschlandticket.
Wolt fosters a collaborative culture with ample opportunities for growth and development. The company values self-starters with drive and entrepreneurial spirit, offering an exciting and challenging work environment. Joining Wolt means being part of a team that is constantly building and evolving, providing a platform to learn, build, and ship more than in most other companies.
