Asset Manager

Overview Stellar Asset Management is the multifamily asset management platform of the Stellar Family of Companies. We provide portfolio oversight and business plan execution for owners and investors, combining institutional-grade reporting and analysis with direct operational engagement. Our platform, within a vertically integrated structure that includes property management and construction, provides visibility into property-level operations. The platform is in an active growth phase. We are investing in reporting infrastructure, disciplined processes, staffing, and modern analytical tools, including enterprise AI, so that our asset managers focus on judgment and decision-making rather than data assembly. Position Summary The Asset Manager will assume full ownership of a portfolio of roughly 8-12 multifamily assets, with accountability for business plan development, execution, and financial performance. The role carries direct responsibility for results: developing the strategy for each asset, directing property management against that strategy, and identifying and resolving performance issues as they emerge. The position reports to senior leadership and works closely with property management, construction, and third-party clients. Given the stage of the platform, the Asset Manager will also contribute to the design of processes, reporting standards, and analytical tools that will govern our business arm as it scales. The role suits a professional seeking greater scope and accountability than a traditional analyst or associate seat provides.

Property Management Oversight Evaluate property management performance through formal quarterly scorecards, documenting strengths and weaknesses and building measurable improvement plans where warranted. Manage property management transitions when necessary, from evaluation and selection through records handoff and go-live. Business Planning and Capital Execution Develop annual business plans and operating budgets in collaboration with property management and ownership, and pressure-test leasing assumptions and capital priorities. Prepare annual investment plans that evaluate hold, refinance, and sale scenarios and recommend a course of action to ownership.
