Job description

We’re partnering with a high-growth, industry-leading company to hire a Director of Asset Management. This is a high-visibility leadership opportunity for someone who can build strategy, optimize portfolio performance, and lead teams through meaningful growth.

The opportunity

Our client is expanding rapidly and is seeking a strategic, hands-on Director of Asset Management to oversee the performance, planning, and long-term value creation of its asset portfolio.

This leader will work closely with executive leadership, operations, finance, acquisitions/development, and outside partners to maximize returns, identify risks and opportunities, and establish scalable asset-management processes as the organization grows.

What you’ll do

• Lead asset-management strategy across a growing portfolio, with responsibility for performance, operating plans, budgets, and long-term value creation.
• Analyze financial and operational results, identify trends, and develop action plans to improve revenue, profitability, utilization, and asset value.
• Partner with operations and site-level leadership to drive execution against business plans and key performance targets.
• Develop annual budgets, forecasts, capital plans, and asset-level business plans.
• Evaluate capital expenditures, improvement initiatives, leasing/pricing strategies, and other investment decisions.
• Prepare and present portfolio-performance reporting, recommendations, and strategic insights to executive leadership and key stakeholders.
• Lead, coach, and develop a high-performing asset-management team as the business scales.
• Collaborate with finance, accounting, legal, acquisitions, development, and third-party vendors to support portfolio objectives.
• Identify operational, financial, and market risks and implement proactive mitigation strategies.
• Help create the processes, reporting discipline, and operating cadence needed for continued growth.

What we’re looking for

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Real Estate, Business, Accounting, Economics, or a related discipline; MBA or advanced degree is a plus.
• 8+ years of progressive experience in asset management, portfolio management, real estate, investments, finance, operations, or a related field.
• Prior leadership experience managing teams and cross-functional initiatives.
• Strong financial-analysis skills, including budgeting, forecasting, P&L management, ROI analysis, and business-plan development.
• Proven ability to translate data into clear recommendations and execute improvement plans.
• Experience working in a fast-paced, growth-oriented environment.
• Excellent executive communication, presentation, negotiation, and relationship-management skills.
• Strategic mindset with a willingness to stay close to the details and drive results.

Why this role

• Join a top, rapidly growing company at an important stage of expansion.
• Make a visible impact on strategy, financial performance, and long-term enterprise value.
• Work directly with senior leadership and help shape a scalable asset-management function.
• Lead meaningful initiatives rather than simply maintain existing processes.
• Competitive compensation package, bonus potential, and strong long-term growth opportunity.

If you are a commercially minded asset-management leader who enjoys building, improving, and driving performance, we would welcome a confidential conversation.

Compensation: $165,000 per year
