Job Description

Company Overview:

Our client is a New Jersey–based real estate investment management firm focused on value-add infill light industrial properties in select East Coast markets. The firm currently operates a 100 building, 7.0 million square foot portfolio, and its management team brings over 75 years of combined experience investing through multiple cycles.

The cornerstone of the firm’s investment strategy is middle-market transactions with strong fundamentals that can be stabilized at a discount to intrinsic value and generate durable cash flow.

This individual will oversee the financial, administrative, and operational infrastructure of the firm and its related entities, manage third-party service providers, support investor-facing needs, and help build scalable accounting and operations processes as the platform grows.

This is a unique opportunity for an experienced, detail-driven professional to work directly with the principals and play a critical role in the firm’s evolution, with a path to expand leadership in the company over time.
