Full Job Description
The Opportunity:

We're looking for a sharp, execution-oriented Facilities Manager to own Jetson's physical footprint from coast to coast. This is a newly created role built for someone who thrives in fast-scaling environments - someone who can stand up a new market location in weeks, build vendor relationships that actually hold, and keep our existing facilities running cleanly and cost-effectively. You'll work directly with the CFO and across Finance, Operations, and Field teams to ensure Jetson's facilities infrastructure is always one step ahead of our growth.
What You Will Do:
  • Lead end-to-end site selection and acquisition for new Jetson locations across the US and Canada
  • Conduct market analysis, site visits, and zoning reviews to identify optimal facility types (warehouse, office, hybrid)
  • Negotiate and review commercial leases, LOIs, and licenses in coordination with legal counsel
  • Build and manage a scalable playbook for rapid site stand-up - from signed lease to operational in minimum time
  • Coordinate with Finance on capital expenditure planning, security deposits, and rent escalation modeling
  • Build and manage a national vendor network for cleaning, security, HVAC, electrical, landscaping,
  • and general maintenance
  • Lead RFP processes, contract negotiations, and ongoing vendor performance reviews
  • Establish SLAs and accountability frameworks to ensure vendors meet Jetson's standards across every location
  • Develop preferred vendor lists and backup options for each market to eliminate single-point-of-failure risk
  • Manage facilities-related budgets, purchase orders, and invoice approvals
  • Own day-to-day operations and maintenance across all Jetson locations - warehouses, offices,
  • and field service hubs
  • Implement preventive maintenance programs to protect assets and minimize unplanned downtime
  • Ensure all facilities meet health, safety, and building code standards in each jurisdiction (US and Canadian provinces)
  • Oversee workspace configuration for new and existing sites including signage, equipment layout, and storage design
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for landlord relationships and property management companies
  • Manage facilities-related insurance documentation, certificate of insurance compliance, and regulatory filings
  • Design scalable systems and processes for facilities management that can grow with Jetson's expansion footprint
  • Build templates, trackers, and SOPs so that every new site launch runs from a repeatable, documented playbook
  • Partner with Operations, Sales, and Finance on market launch timelines and facilities readiness milestones
  • Anticipate capacity needs 6-18 months out and proactively identify and qualify future sites
  • Report on facilities KPIs including cost per square foot, utilization, vendor performance, and lease obligations
What You Bring:
  • 5+ years of facilities management experience, ideally in a multi-site, high-growth environment
  • Demonstrated experience with commercial lease negotiation and site acquisition
  • Strong vendor management track record - from sourcing through contract and ongoing accountability
  • Experience operating in both US and Canadian markets is a strong asset
  • Comfort working in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where you often have to build the process as you go
  • Excellent organizational and project management skills - you track details and hit deadlines
  • Financial literacy: comfortable working with budgets, OpEx/CapEx distinctions, lease abstracts, and variance reporting
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting to executive leadership
  • Proficiency with tools like Google Workspace, project management software, and facilities/lease tracking systems
  • Experience with modern tools, including AI, to automate and make your day more efficient.
  • Background in home services, HVAC, electrical, or construction-adjacent industries preferred
  • Experience with industrial or warehouse engineering (zoning, flow design, 5S methodology) preferred
  • Familiarity with NetSuite or similar ERP for purchase order and budget management preferred
  • CFM (Certified Facility Manager) or equivalent credential preferred
