Job description

We’re partnering with a high-growth, real estate platform that is expanding its footprint.

This is a newly created role focused on one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of the business — RIDEA (operating real estate partnerships) — offering significantly more upside and complexity than traditional real estate models.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Exposure to investment + operations (not just one or the other)
• Work directly with senior leadership and deal teams
• Participate in a fast-growing, high-priority business line
• Significant upside through bonus + long-term equity
• Clear path for career growth and advancement

What You’ll Be Doing

• Partner with operators to analyze performance of real estate assets
• Support financial analysis, budgeting, and forecasting
• Monitor KPIs and identify opportunities to improve performance
• Work cross-functionally with investments, asset management, and operators

Ideal Background

• Senior housing / healthcare operations OR
• Real estate / investment firms with healthcare exposure
• Strong financial acumen (FP&A, investments, or accounting)
• Analytical mindset with ability to connect operations + financials
• 2–5 years of relevant experience preferred

The Bottom Line

This is a high-impact role at the intersection of:

• operations
• investments

If you’re looking to break into a more strategic, high-growth side of the industry, this is an opportunity to do it.
