This individual will be responsible for sourcing, managing, and closing capital commitments from investors while maintaining long-term investor relationships.

This role is well suited for a hands‑on capital raising professional who excels in relationship‑building, operates with a high degree of ownership, and is comfortable working in a lean, fast‑moving environment with significant accountability and visibility.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead capital raising efforts across existing and new Limited Partner (LP) relationships.

• Coordinate with accounting and operations to support investor onboarding, distributions, tax reporting, and online account statements.
• Represent Stellar at industry conferences, investor meetings, and roadshows.

• Track and manage investor interactions, fundraising pipelines, and capital commitments to ensure accurate reporting and execution.
• Monitor investor feedback, market trends, and competitive dynamics to inform fundraising strategy.
• Evaluate and improve investor processes to enhance retention, scalability, and overall investor experience.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in commercial real estate fundraising, investor relations, banking, or capital markets.
• Proven track record of successfully capitalizing real estate investments.
• Experience leading investor engagement and relationship management, including positioning investment strategies, addressing LP concerns, and supporting capital raises.
• Multifamily investment experience preferred, but not required.
• Strong negotiation, strategic thinker, communication, and relationship management skills.
• Collaborative, growth‑oriented mindset with a curious and solutions‑focused approach.
• Competitive base salary commensurate with experience and market standards, plus a performance‑based bonus aligned with firm‑wide and fundraising results.
