• Source, evaluate, structure, and execute acquisitions, dispositions, and other investment opportunities.
• Oversee leasing strategy, negotiations, and renewals across all asset types.
• Manage asset performance, including budgeting, forecasting, and reporting (actual vs. budget).
• Lead or support refinancing, recapitalizations, and lender relationships.
• Oversee external partners such as brokers, attorneys, accountants, and property managers.
• Improve operational systems, reporting, and internal infrastructure across a lean platform.
• Based in Southeast Florida with periodic travel as needed.
