Work Schedule: Five days per week in office
Company Overview
Our client is a global real estate investment and asset management platform with a diversified portfolio includes Class A office, medical office, residential condominiums, student housing, and hospitality assets across major U.S. markets.
The firm is entering its next stage of growth and is seeking an experienced investment executive to lead deal origination, help shape its acquisition strategy, and expand its U.S. portfolio. This is an opportunity to join a lean, well-capitalized platform with institutional backing and play a central role in building its future investment pipeline.
The Opportunity
The Director of Investments will serve as the platform’s senior deal originator and transaction leader. The firm has strong underwriting and asset management capabilities in place and is now looking for a proven deal professional who can generate opportunities, cultivate market relationships, structure transactions, and lead investments from initial sourcing through closing.
The platform has an established investment thesis but will give this individual meaningful influence over its acquisition criteria, target markets, and overall investment strategy.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and maintain a proprietary acquisition pipeline across major U.S. markets
Source investment opportunities through relationships with owners, brokers, lenders, operators, and capital partners
Help refine the platform’s investment thesis, acquisition criteria, and market strategy
Lead the evaluation, structuring, negotiation, due diligence, financing, and closing of new investments
Negotiate purchase agreements, joint venture structures, financing terms, and other transaction documents
Evaluate potential acquisitions, recapitalizations, joint ventures, co-investments, and third-party capital opportunities
Oversee refinancing, disposition, and major repositioning strategies across the existing portfolio
Lead hold/sell and lease/renovate/redevelop decisions
Coordinate transaction execution across investments, asset management, finance, legal, property management, and outside advisors
Oversee acquisition pipeline reporting and internal investment performance tracking
Present investment opportunities and recommendations to senior leadership and the Investment Committee
Build and institutionalize investment processes, reporting systems, and internal workflows
Manage and develop the existing investment team
Qualifications
Approximately 15+ years or more years of commercial real estate investment experience
Proven track record of independently originating and closing significant real estate transactions
Established relationships with brokers, owners, lenders, operators, and institutional capital partners
Experience sourcing investments in major U.S. gateway markets
Deep knowledge of office, hospitality, or diversified real estate portfolios
Strong experience structuring acquisitions, joint ventures, financing, recapitalizations, and dispositions
Ability to shape an investment strategy rather than simply execute against an established mandate
Experience managing and developing investment professionals
Strong financial modeling literacy, including Excel and Argus
Experience presenting investments to institutional or international Investment Committees
Ability to operate independently and take ownership within a lean, entrepreneurial platform
Strong communication, negotiation, leadership, and relationship-building skills
Ideal Candidate
The successful candidate will be a market-facing deal professional who combines investment judgment with a demonstrated ability to originate opportunities.
This is not an underwriting-focused position. The ideal candidate can determine what and where the firm should buy, access opportunities through an established network, structure transactions, secure internal support, and lead deals through closing.
Why Join?
Lead acquisitions for an established platform
Gain direct access to senior leadership and key decision-makers
Meaningfully influence the firm’s investment strategy and acquisition criteria
Build the acquisition function and future pipeline rather than inherit a narrow mandate
Lead an existing investment team supported by dedicated asset management, finance, and legal professionals
Pursue investments across multiple asset classes and major U.S. markets
Participate in the platform’s long-term incentive program
Take on a central leadership position during an important period of U.S. expansion
Compensation and Benefits
The final compensation package will be determined based on the candidate’s experience, qualifications, transaction history, and existing market relationships.
Our client is an equal opportunity employer and considers qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other legally protected characteristic.
