• Ensure projects hit key milestones — equity installments, loan earn-outs, and tax credit testing requirements


• Lead cross-functional \"critical path\" meetings for underperforming assets, coordinating marketing, talent acquisition, and other stakeholders


• Present portfolio condition monthly to executive and senior leadership


• Partner with Capital Planning on lifecycle capital plans; flag variances during budgeting season


• Support responses to governmental, equity, and lending agency inquiries

• Proficient Excel skills; able to learn new systems quickly


• Strong financial analysis, forecasting, and reporting skills for upper management
