Job Description

A boutique real estate investment firm with approximately $1B in assets under management and ~2,500 units is seeking a Senior Director of Acquisitions to lead deal sourcing and execution across its multifamily investment platform.

This is a senior, entrepreneurial role for someone who can generate opportunities, underwrite them quickly, and drive transactions through closing. We are not seeking a pure analyst. The right person will have a strong broker network, proven sourcing ability, and the confidence to work directly with senior leadership to identify and close compelling investments.

The firm operates with a lean team and a hands-on approach, providing meaningful deal ownership and significant upside participation.

Platform Overview

• ~$1B in assets under management
• ~2,500 units owned and operated
• Active in Los Angeles, Atlanta, NYC/Brooklyn, with expansion across California, the Southeast, and the East Coast
• Historically funded through a deep network of high-net-worth investors and international capital sources, with a programmatic investment vehicle currently being developed
• The firm has delivered strong historical performance, achieving approximately 2.75x equity multiples and ~28% IRRs, with a typical investment target of 2x equity multiple and 15%+ net IRR over a 5-year hold.

What You Will Do

• Source new investment opportunities through broker relationships, owners, lenders, and industry networks
• Identify off-market and value-add multifamily opportunities
• Quickly evaluate deal feasibility and investment potential
• Build underwriting models and investment analyses
• Prepare investment summaries and present opportunities to the CEO
• Lead deals from initial sourcing through LOI, due diligence, financing, and closing
• Work closely with asset management to execute the business plan
• Assist with refinances and dispositions during the hold period
• Represent the firm at industry events and maintain strong brokerage relationships

This is a full-cycle acquisitions role requiring both deal generation and technical underwriting capability.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 7+ years of real estate investment or acquisitions experience
• Current role may include Senior Acquisitions Associate, Acquisitions Manager, Director of Acquisitions, or VP-level acquisitions professional
• Strong broker relationships and deal sourcing track record
• Deep understanding of multifamily and value-add investment strategies
• Advanced Excel underwriting and financial modeling skills
• Comfortable working directly with senior leadership in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment
• Confident communicator who can move quickly from opportunity to execution
• Multifamily experience is preferred, though broader commercial real estate investment backgrounds will be considered.

Compensation & Upside

Base salary is flexible depending on experience, with participation in:

• Acquisition fees
• Promote participation
• Disposition fees

For high-performing dealmakers who consistently source and close opportunities, total compensation can exceed $500K+ in strong years .
