About The Role

The Vice President, Investments will serve as the senior, on-site investments lead for Little River Miami, acting as the day-to-day investment owner supporting the project across its full lifecycle. Strategically located just north of the Design District and Wynwood, Little River is transforming a historic industrial neighborhood into a vibrant hub of culture, cuisine, and creative enterprise, positioning it as one of Miami’s next great urban districts. This role is highly hands‑on and embedded in the day-to-day work, partnering closely with development, asset management, and senior leadership to advance the project from fundraising and adaptive reuse through vertical development and stabilization. The VP of Investments will be a critical investor‑facing representative of the project and a trusted internal operator who can drive outcomes, with responsibility spanning both investment underwriting and ongoing asset‑level performance oversight in close partnership with asset management, development, and operations.

• Update development and operating budgets in partnership with internal teams, including coordination with the VP, Development & Construction, Director of Operations and other stakeholders
• Manage and drive the Quarterly Investment Update process, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and alignment across teams
• Support execution of remaining adaptive reuse projects and fundraising efforts required for next phases of development
• Partner with development and asset management teams to ensure underwriting aligns with execution plans and milestones; collaborate on strategic leasing and tenant decisions
• Serve as a go‑to investment and analytical resource for colleagues across development, asset management, and leadership
• Set and enforce deadlines, drive deliverables, and maintain accountability across workstreams
• Maintain a regular, hands‑on on‑site presence, operating from the property and remaining closely engaged with day‑to‑day execution
