Job Description

The Vice President, Debt & Capital Markets will lead the strategy, structuring, execution, and placement of financings across single-asset and portfolio transactions.

This is a highly visible, hands‑on role for a capital markets professional who combines deep debt product expertise with strong institutional relationships and an execution mindset.

• Oversee the full financing lifecycle for new acquisitions, including bridge, take‑out debt, redevelopment financing, construction loan financing, and refinancings.
• Actively manage the company's hedging strategy and coordination with upcoming financings.
• Build and maintain institutional relationships across investment banks, money centre banks, Fannie/Freddie lenders, life companies, and other key capital providers.
• Collaborate with the capital markets team at Blackstone; align on transaction strategy and lender interface.
• Manage, mentor, and develop junior capital markets team members; foster a culture of accountability, precision, and growth.
• Drive continuous improvement of capital markets team infrastructure and processes (quarterly debt books, underwriting models, diligence templates, programmatic lender outreach, etc.).
• Oversee team workflows and execution quality across underwriting, diligence, documentation, and lender communications.
• Provide reporting on capital structure, debt maturities, lender exposure, and hedging strategies; partner with executives and Blackstone on recommendations and decisions.
• Monitor market conditions and provide insight into pricing, structures, and lender appetite to inform strategic decisions.

Qualifications

• 12–15 years of experience in commercial real estate capital markets or debt origination.
• Expertise structuring and executing a range of debt products including CMBS (SASB preferred), Fannie/Freddie, bank, debt fund, life company, mezzanine, and bridge financing.
• Demonstrated experience managing complex financing situations such as acquisitions and redevelopment loans.
• Established relationships across the institutional lender universe, including investment banks, Fannie/Freddie lenders, life companies, debt funds, and money centre banks.
• Strong understanding of interest rate hedging strategies and active management of swap portfolios.
• Proven ability to lead the full financing process from underwriting through diligence, documentation, and closing.
• Prior experience collaborating with private equity sponsors or institutional ownership structures on financing strategy and execution.
• Strong leadership skills with experience managing, mentoring, and developing high‑performing teams.
• Exceptional communication and relationship‑management skills with internal stakeholders, lenders, and executive leadership.
