Portfolio Management Associate​/Director

Our client is a Boston based vertically integrated private equity real estate firm with experience in acquiring and operating infill logistics assets and neighborhood shopping centers in major U.S. markets. The business chooses their investments and value creation strategy based on an analytical process that incorporates key drivers impacting the global supply chain, demographic shifts, and consumer spending patterns. Their investment strategy is focused within tier one high-potential target markets selected based on their extensive operating experience as well as their proprietary elite market selection framework.

The Portfolio Management Associate sits at the epicenter of the firm’s commercial real estate fund oversight, bridging the gap between property performance and investor returns by translating asset-level data into actionable fund-level strategy. In this role, you will ensure capital is optimized, risk is mitigated, and investment decisions are backed by rigorous data. Day-to-day, you will own and update fund-level return models, cash flow projections, and liquidity forecasts, while driving the quarterly valuation process and drafting compelling performance commentary for investors.

Additionally, you will analyze the fund-level impact of acquisitions, dispositions, and major asset recapitalizations, while designing and scaling analytical tools to improve portfolio tracking efficiency.

This position requires mastery of real estate finance, fund waterfalls, and complex financial modeling, alongside the cross-functional communication skills needed to distill intricate financial data into clear narratives for executive leadership. Ultimately, this is a role for a resourceful self-starter who takes complete ownership of their work and builds solutions from scratch rather than simply running existing templates.
