RentoMojo, was founded by Geetansh Bamania, an IITM who worked out of almost every major city in India in
his first five years of corporate career. Frustrated with the hassles of relocating from one place to the other, and
tired of finding that perfect cluster of home essentials that suited their lifestyle. With 3000+ people operations,
the company has a presence in 22 cities across India.
Rentomojo is a key beneficiary of India’s rapid urbanisation story, job growth and workforce mobility. ~1mn new

offers attractive bundled rental subscriptions with zero cost of relocation and zero repair and maintenance cost
at affordable cost that provides utility of EMI but not its rigidity.

Job Summary:
Rentomojo is looking for an Expansion Manager – Retail to find, negotiate and lock the properties that
Rentomojo’s next retail stores open in. This is a field-first, full-cycle role – scouting footfall-driven locations across
Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities, negotiating rent, deposit and fitout terms, closing the agreement with legal, and handing
over a ready site to the Design & Projects team. The ideal candidate brings strong commercial instinct, a genuine

all travel and accommodation costs borne by the company.

Commercial negotiation
• Negotiate rent, security deposit, fitout contribution, CAM, lock-in period, rent escalation, rent-free period
and exit terms.
• Benchmark quoted rentals against prevailing market rates for the micro-market before committing.
• Negotiate the condition in which the property is handed over, and get landlord scope agreed in writing.

• Build the site-level commercial case – rent-to-revenue expectation, total cost of entry and payback.
Legal & documentation
• Coordinate with the legal team on LOI, leave & license and long-term lease agreements.
• Understand and flag the clauses that matter – lock-in, escalation, deposit refund, maintenance liability,
termination and renewal.
• Complete title and ownership document checks, agreement registration and stamp duty formalities.




• Support statutory approvals – trade license, signage NOC, fire and civic clearances.
Handover, coordination & reporting
• Hand the site over to the Design & Projects team with a documented condition checklist.

• Publish weekly MIS on pipeline, cost per site, negotiation status and timelines.

Preferred Qualifications:
• Graduate; working knowledge of Tier 1 and Tier 2 city retail locations, with a real sense of what drives
footfall.
• Proven strength in negotiating rent, deposit, fitout and handover terms with landlords and developers.
• Sound understanding of rent and lease agreements, including long-term shop leases and their key clauses.
• English and Hindi mandatory; additional Indian languages (Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali or
others) strongly preferred given the PAN India coverage.
• Strong Excel skills and the ability to build clean, decision-ready reports and trackers.
• Comfort using AI tools to cut manual effort in market research, rate comparison, documentation and
reporting.
• Willing and able to travel PAN India at short notice.
