Board Member - Real Estate & Hospitality : Advisory Board

Graphora is an AI-native private-capital platform connecting founders and emerging companies with investors, strategic customers, experienced operators and advisors. We help companies access not only capital, but also the expertise, relationships, customer insight and operating support needed to grow. Our ecosystem brings together private-market opportunities, syndicated and fund programs, company intelligence, strategic relationships, and advisory and operating opportunities. Advisors contribute their professional judgment and networks to help Graphora and the companies in its ecosystem make better-informed decisions and build meaningful partnerships. About the role We are seeking real-estate and hospitality leaders with experience in development, acquisitions, property operations and commercial partnerships. Advisors help emerging projects and businesses access market insight, development and operating partners, customers and suitable capital relationships. The specialty includes residential development, hospitality, sports venues, experiential businesses and relevant infrastructure-development opportunities. Your application should identify the market and relationships you can support. Development expertise, hospitality operations, tenant relationships and financing insight are complementary contributions; one advisor does not need to provide them all.

Share industry insight and help evaluate companies, markets, emerging technologies and commercial opportunities. Support founders and company leaders with practical advice on market entry, product positioning, customer needs and execution.

Your regional contribution This application focuses on the Phoenix, AZ professional ecosystem. Contribute local market knowledge, help identify relevant founders, customers, operating leaders and partners, and support relationships that can benefit companies nationally. Meaningful professional experience or relationships in this market are valuable. You can indicate openness to other cities without submitting a separate application to every market. Commitment & compensation Advisory engagements start at 2–4 hours per month and may increase to 40 hours per month for advisory and board engagements, depending on the agreed scope. Work is primarily remote, with any local meetings or hybrid participation agreed separately. The city identifies the professional market you can support; it does not imply a Graphora office or a fixed in-person schedule. Role-specific compensation Compensation varies by role and engagement. Venture scouting, capital formation support, portfolio-company advisory, board and operational engagements have different arrangements. Depending on the separately agreed engagement, compensation may include cash, carried-interest or equity participation; no universal hourly rate, award or participation amount is promised by this listing. Scope, compensation, any vesting and other terms are agreed in writing before the engagement begins. Other engagement types Separate Operating Partner engagements with certain portfolio companies may require 10–40 hours per week. Venture scouting, capital formation support, company advisory, board and operating opportunities are separately scoped. Applying here is for the named advisory specialty and does not appoint you to a company board or an operating position. Work alongside founders, investors, customers and experienced operating leaders to help promising businesses access the relationships and expertise they need. This is an opportunity to contribute to an AI-native private-capital ecosystem, share your experience with emerging companies and build relevant professional relationships. No investment, paid subscription or purchase is required for advisory consideration. This is an Advisory Board Member opportunity, not a fiduciary Board of Directors appointment or a full-time employee position. Professional contribution and role needs guide selection; applying does not guarantee an appointment. Graphora welcomes qualified applicants from all backgrounds. #J-18808-Ljbffr Graphora
