Vital Capital Partners is a vertically integrated real estate investment platform focused on acquiring, investing in, and managing institutional-quality healthcare properties throughout the United States.

The firm emphasizes disciplined underwriting, local market insight, and relationship-driven sourcing to identify proprietary and off-market opportunities in ambulatory medical, outpatient, specialty healthcare, and other mission-critical real estate assets.

Vital Capital Partners targets investments where operational improvements, repositioning, strategic leasing, and market inefficiencies can create value, while maintaining a conservative approach to leverage, capital preservation, and transaction execution.

The platform manages the full investment lifecycle, including acquisitions, financing, due diligence, construction and property management, leasing, asset management, investor reporting, and dispositions.

Led by an executive team with more than 20 years of healthcare real estate experience, Vital Capital Partners provides accredited investors with access to resilient healthcare real estate investments focused on income, capital preservation, and long-term returns.

Vital Capital Partners is seeking an experienced and motivated Acquisitions Associate to help source, evaluate, underwrite, and execute commercial real estate investments.

This is primarily an acquisitions and investment-analysis role. The ideal candidate will also possess strong communication, presentation, and investor relations skills and be comfortable supporting investor materials, fundraising initiatives, due diligence requests, and communications with current and prospective investors.

The position is designed for a commercial real estate professional who has developed a strong foundation in acquisitions, investment sales, brokerage, underwriting, lending, valuation, or asset management and is ready to assume broader responsibility within an entrepreneurial investment platform.

The Associate will work directly with senior leadership and gain exposure to the complete investment lifecycle, from opportunity sourcing and underwriting through capitalization, closing, asset management, investor reporting, and disposition.

Candidates located in Orange County or the surrounding Southern California market are preferred for a hybrid working arrangement. Highly qualified remote candidates may also be considered.
