VP, Finance

Growing, successful RE player is seeking an analytical, M&A-minded leader.

The VP of Finance will own debt capital markets execution and compliance, specifically diligence, documentation coordination, closing, covenant compliance, and lender reporting. The mandate is to execute at a level of quality and independence that allows the sponsor to step back from day-to-day process involvement; this requires someone lenders and sponsor deal teams immediately recognize as a peer.

• Own ongoing covenant compliance, lender reporting packages, borrowing base certificates, and draw/reallocation requests across multiple facilities
• Serve as day-to-day lender point of contact between transactions; maintain relationships with lender portfolio teams and debt broker/placement agents
• Manage the debt stack across facilities: plan and sequence the migration of assets from bridge financing to permanent facilities, coordinate collateral transfers, releases, and substitutions to optimize proceeds and pricing, and maintain a forward calendar of maturities, extension tests, and refinancing windows
• Execute debt workstreams for the planned recapitalization: capital structure modeling, refinancing analysis, and process management under CFO/sponsor direction

Secondary Responsibilities – FP&A, BOD, Reporting

• Oversee FP&A: corporate model ownership, annual budgeting, quarterly reforecasting, and property-level NOI performance analysis across the portfolio
• Prepare Board of Director materials, including quarterly board decks and sponsor reporting
• Manage internal and external reporting cadence; support audit and GAAP reporting workstreams
• Respond to ad hoc sponsor and investor requests with institutional-quality output and fast turnaround
• Partner with the CFO on exit-readiness workstreams

• BS/BA in Finance, Economics, Accounting, Business etc.
• Real estate industry experience preferred
• Exposure to private equity is helpful
• Expert modeling skills
