Asset Manager

Role Description

Rex is seeking an Asset Manager to architect and enforce excellence across a scaling portfolio of multifamily assets. This mandate is for a top one-percent performer who looks, acts, and communicates as a fiduciary while operating with the hardcore intensity of a competitive athlete. You will own the performance of 2,000+ units, scaling that engine to 30,000+ units through disciplined execution and sharp commercial instincts. This is an execution-driven builder role for someone who thrives in bringing order to chaos.

You will command respect from property management teams and external partners, holding them to board-level discipline through rigorous, data-driven oversight. You must be AI-fluent, leveraging emerging technology to drive operational efficiency and identify financial outliers. Your functional muscle includes 7+ years of experience in structured finance, with a proven record of placing agency debt and negotiating complex loan workouts. You are a front-line closer with the gravitas to sell Rex’s management services to ultra-high-net-worth investors and family offices.

You must combine scrappy, zero-to-one hustle with the sophisticated communication skills required to navigate high-stakes lender negotiations. We need a hard-charging executor who is firm yet respectful, a watchdog who inspires excellence while maintaining the missionary fire required to build a multi-generational enterprise. Must be missionary to the bone, obsessed with the stewardship of investor trust and deeply passionate about catalyzing human flourishing through the built environment. Fully remote, with a strong preference for Austin as a home base.

• Deep fluency in property-level financials, including T12 analysis, rent rolls, variance analysis, budget management, reforecasting, and asset-level return optimization.

• High proficiency with Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, or similar property management and reporting systems.
• AI-fluent, with a practical ability to use tools such as ChatGPT, automation platforms, BI dashboards, and workflow systems.
• Strong understanding of revenue management, expense controls, capex execution, renovation economics, and on-site operational KPIs.
• Track record of communicating with lenders, investors, family offices, and senior stakeholders in a way that builds trust and commands respect.
• Comfortable selling management services and platform capability to sophisticated capital partners and ultra-high-net-worth investors.
• Able to move seamlessly between scrappy zero-to-one problem solving and polished executive communication in high-stakes environments.
• Firm, respectful, and highly accountable, with the judgment to push operators hard while preserving alignment and momentum.
• Bachelor’s degree in finance, real estate, economics, business, or a related field preferred; advanced real estate, finance, or investment training is a plus.
• Based in Austin or willing to make Austin a frequent operating hub, while thriving in a fully remote environment with high autonomy and high standards.
• Mission-driven and deeply aligned with stewardship, investor trust, and the belief that great real estate can catalyze human flourishing.
• Competitive, relentless, and execution-obsessed, with the builder mentality to help create a multi-generational enterprise from the inside.
