As a global leader in residential wellness and healthcare infrastructure, we create vibrant, purpose-driven communities where housing, healthcare, and hospitality converge. Our culture is fast-paced, collaborative, and endlessly ambitious—guided by our mantra: The only easy day was yesterday.

We’re looking for bold, independent thinkers who thrive on challenge, embrace complexity, and are driven to deliver long-term value. Every team member is empowered to think like an owner, innovate fearlessly, and lead from where they stand. If you're passionate about outcomes and inspired by the opportunity to shape the future of healthcare infrastructure, we want you on our best-in-class team.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Key responsibilities include underwriting potential acquisition and development opportunities; conducting operator/client credit analysis; reviewing and analyzing business plans, management teams, budgets, and financial statements at both the company-wide and individual property or portfolio levels; participating in monthly and quarterly meetings with operators; leading annual budgeting and ongoing monitoring of real estate portfolios; and visiting communities. The role involves significant client interaction, so strong interpersonal skills are essential. The Investment Team is at the forefront of the business’s growth, responsible for all new investments from initial valuation and deal structuring through detailed due diligence and closing, including seniors housing and age-restricted multifamily projects.

   • Participate in executing property/portfolio level financing strategies on acquisitions and/or re-financing post-closing.
   • Collaborate with team members to optimize and refine pro forma models and templates.
2. Transaction Management:
   • Manage workstreams and coordinate among internal and external stakeholders throughout transaction and closing processes.
   • Lead drafting of Investment Committee memos; field questions during IC meetings as needed.
   • Participate in legal documentation and provide analytical support.
   • Engage in strategic discussions at the corporate level, providing analytical support.
3. Asset and Portfolio Management:
   • Manage monthly, quarterly, and annual asset management processes for assigned portfolios with minimal oversight.
   • Perform analysis on operating performance, derive and execute strategic plans.
   • Establish relationships with peers at operators/investments to effectively deliver asset management requirements.
   • Identify and escalate tactical and key relationship issues in a timely manner.
