About the Role
We are seeking a high performing
Real Estate Private Equity Associate
with
5+ years of institutional experience
across acquisitions, underwriting, due diligence, and transaction execution โ a
judgment-driven
professional who understands how to transform
raw deal flow and imperfect information into conviction-grade investment decisions .
The ideal candidate is a professional who has
operated inside high-stakes investment environments , supported complex real estate transactions end-to-end, and is now ready to function at the
intersection of capital protection, risk underwriting, and strategic narrative control .
You will act as both a
principal-in-training
and a
force multiplier for senior decision-makers
โ capable of compressing decision timelines, surfacing risk early, and elevating the firmโs investment standards with institutional precision.
Core Mandate
To
protect and compound investor capital
by underwriting, diligence, and executing real estate investments with
clarity, discipline, and New Yorkโspecific judgment , while building repeatable decision frameworks across the investment platform.
Key Responsibilities
1. Investment Underwriting & Financial Architecture
Own institutional-grade underwriting that survives IC and lender scrutiny.
Build and maintain advanced real estate models (DCF, development, value-add, equity waterfalls, sensitivities)
Price downside risk, timing friction, and capital stack fragility โ not just base-case IRRs
Translate complex assumptions into decision-ready outputs
2. New YorkโSpecific Market & Regulatory Intelligence

Incorporate rent regulation, permitting timelines, labor dynamics, and political risk into models
Assess time-to-execution as a core investment variable

3. Due Diligence & Transaction Execution
Serve as a control center from LOI to close.
Lead financial diligence: rent rolls, leases, expenses, budgets, feasibility
Coordinate third-party advisors (legal, appraisal, construction, lenders)
Manage closing checklists, document accuracy, and execution risk
4. Investment Committee Materials & Narrative Control
Shape how decisions are made.
Prepare IC memos and investment narratives that surface risk before upside
Anticipate objections and pre-wire stakeholders
Communicate trade-offs clearly without hiding behind spreadsheets
5. Portfolio & Asset Performance Intelligence
Monitor value creation post-close.
Track KPIs: NOI, DSCR, occupancy, leasing velocity, budget vs. actuals
Update asset management models and flag deviations early
Recommend operational or capital-structure adjustments
6. Capital Markets & Investor Support
Support capital formation with credibility.
Assist in capital raises, lender engagement, and JV structuring
Prepare investor decks, performance reports, and financial exhibits
Analyze leverage, cost of capital, and downside protection
7. Process Discipline & Institutional Scaling
Reduce friction for senior leadership.
Improve underwriting templates, diligence workflows, and decision cadence
Catch errors others miss and surface issues early
Build systems that make excellence repeatable
8. Research & Strategy
Conduct deep market research on demographic trends, submarket performance, regulatory risks, and economic indicators.
Provide insights that support acquisition strategy and allocation decisions.

Cognitive & Leadership Signature
This professional

discipline, intellectual honesty, and trust accumulation , knowing that in private equity, credibility compounds faster than returns.
Ideal Archetype
Ideal Archetype โ โThe Mini-Principalโ
This individual:
Thinks like a Principal but executes like an elite Associate
Communicates with calm authority and precision
Surfaces risk early โ even when inconvenient
Compresses decision timelines for senior leaders
Is trusted internally and externally despite title
Why Join Us
You will join a platform that treats the Associate role as a
training ground for future Principals , not a support function.
This is an opportunity to operate at the
highest echelon of real estate investing , where judgment is valued as much as technical skill, and where your work directly shapes capital allocation, risk posture, and long-term value creation.
