Expansion Lead

LAP Coffee is a fast-growing specialty coffee retail chain expanding its store network across Germany and beyond. The Expansion Lead owns store buildouts end to end, from raw space and technical site assessment through contractor tendering and management to a keys-in-hand handover to Operations, on time and on budget. The role also owns the capex budget per store, benchmarks build cost per square metre, negotiates framework agreements, and turns each opening into a sharper template for the next one. Alongside new builds, the role keeps the existing portfolio performing by coordinating technicians, preventing downtime and improving in-store layout and equipment. It is based at the Berlin HQ with roughly 30-50 percent travel to construction sites across Germany.
