• Set pricing, concessions, renewal, and capital investment strategies based on property performance and market conditions.
• Monitor cash needs, distributions, debt covenants, reserves, and upcoming maturities; support refinancing and recapitalization analysis.
• Prepare investor reporting and hold, sell, or recapitalize recommendations for senior leadership.
• Visit assets regularly and support acquisitions due diligence with practical operating insight.

Requirements:

• Approximately 5–10 years of experience in multifamily asset management, acquisitions, or operations finance.
• Strong financial modeling and analytical skills, including advanced Excel and a working understanding of valuation, debt structures, and investment returns.
• Sound operating judgment and the ability to turn property-level data into clear decisions and action plans.
• Experience working with institutional ownership or joint venture partners is preferred.
• The confidence to lead third-party operators, communicate with capital partners, and work effectively within a growing, entrepreneurial team.
