Real Estate Debt Investment Associate

We are working with the real estate team of a leading credit-focused investment firm who are looking to add two Associates to their team. One hire will focus on bridge lending, the other on high-yield and opportunistic credit.

Platform Overview

• Approximately $30 billion in firmwide AUM and a roughly $5 billion real estate business.
• A multi-strategy investment firm with a longstanding focus on value-oriented investing and special situations
• Real estate capabilities span senior loans, mezzanine debt, preferred equity, performing and non-performing loans, structured investments, and equity.
• Experience across existing, transitional, development/construction, and special situation assets.
• Diverse asset class coverage including multifamily, industrial, hospitality, office, student housing, senior housing, self-storage, retail, and mixed use.
• A team of over 20 on their real estate investment team.

Why they are hiring

• The real estate business is investing in growth. Several senior originators have joined over the past year, and the firm now needs to build out the junior and mid-level team supporting them.
• Senior originators currently have approximately one to two investment professionals beneath them. These hires should gain substantial exposure to senior decision-makers and transaction work within lean teams.
• The platform may add differentiated capital pools over time, potentially including core-plus bridge lending or insurance-oriented strategies. Those are possible developments rather than confirmed mandates.

Your background

• 2-5 years of experience at a real estate debt fund, bridge lender, investment bank, or insurance company real estate lending team.
• Strong fundamentals in deal underwriting, cash flow modeling, and exposure to structuring, loan documentation, and overall deal execution
