Job description

Join a well-established real estate investment firm with more than two decades of experience investing across the Western U.S. The firm focuses on opportunistic real estate investments, including value-add repositioning and development across multifamily, industrial, and retail assets. We are seeking an experienced Director of Asset Management to take ownership of a growing multifamily portfolio and help drive investment performance from acquisition through disposition.

About the Role

This is a high-impact opportunity for an asset management professional who can independently own and manage asset-level performance.

The role will have significant autonomy and visibility across the organization, with the opportunity to help establish processes and play an important role as the firm continues to grow its multifamily portfolio. Construction, renovation, and CapEx experience is a significant plus, but strong independent asset management experience is the primary requirement. The written role also includes responsibility for financial reporting, investor communications, and collaboration across acquisitions, accounting, and investor relations.

• Oversee capital expenditure and renovation projects, including budgets, contractor bids, timelines, and site inspections.
• Prepare financial analyses, asset-level forecasts, performance reports, and investor updates.
• Evaluate asset performance and disposition strategies to maximize investor returns.
• Support acquisitions, due diligence, refinancings, and dispositions as needed.

• 5–10+ years of relevant real estate experience with significant independent asset management responsibility.
• Strong experience managing multifamily assets, ideally including value-add strategies.
• Proven ability to independently manage assets and direct third-party property management teams.
• Strong financial analysis, budgeting, forecasting, and business-plan execution skills.
• Construction, renovation, development, and/or CapEx management experience is a major plus.
• Strong leadership, communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Comfortable working within a smaller, entrepreneurial organization where individuals are expected to take ownership and wear multiple hats.
• Ability to travel to properties and construction sites as needed.
