Vice President, Industrial Acquisitions

Rising Realty Partners | Industrial Acquisitions

Location: Remote. Texas, Colorado, Nevada, or California, with regular travel to target markets.

Reports To: President & CEO and EVP, Operations

Works Alongside: Head of Capital Markets

Rising Realty Partners is a Los Angeles-based, vertically integrated commercial real estate investment firm. We acquire, operate, and manage industrial, data center, office, and retail assets across the Western U.S. on behalf of institutional partners, private equity real estate funds, and family offices. Our vertically integrated model pairs institutional underwriting discipline with in-house leasing, construction, and property management capability.

Rising runs on a shared operating platform. Asana, Google Workspace, and Dealpath are not side tools here; they are where the work lives. Pipeline status, diligence artifacts, decisions, approvals, and handoffs are documented in the system and visible to the people who need them, in real time, without anyone having to ask.

That discipline is what makes this a genuinely remote seat rather than a concession. Our teams operate across markets and time zones because the work is transparent by default, not because we tolerate distance. The trade is straightforward: you get autonomy and location flexibility, and in exchange your pipeline, your assumptions, and your open items are legible to the firm at any moment.

We are looking for someone who already works this way, or who is genuinely eager to. A candidate who runs deals out of an inbox and a local spreadsheet will find this a difficult fit.

The Vice President, Industrial Acquisitions is the firm’s industrial deal lead. You will own acquisition opportunities from first look through closing and carry primary responsibility for the broker, owner, and seller relationships that generate proprietary deal flow. This is a lead deal seat with real autonomy: you will source the opportunity, set the underwriting thesis, run diligence, and close.

The role works closely with the Head of Capital Markets on capital formation. You will help match equity to each transaction, participate in capital partner meetings, and serve as a point of contact for those partners through closing.

We are deliberately hiring at the Vice President level rather than back filling an executive seat. We want someone with a strong foundation who is ready to run their own deals, build their own market, and grow into greater responsibility as the industrial business scales.

Active markets include the Western Sunbelt: major Texas markets, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Denver, and Central California.

• Own and expand relationships with investment sales, capital markets, and leasing brokers across target industrial markets to generate a consistent pipeline of on- and off-market opportunities.
• Maintain direct coverage of owners, developers, and operating partners; cultivate proprietary and off-market deal flow rather than relying on marketed processes.
• Track submarket fundamentals, including rents, vacancy, absorption, construction pipeline, land basis, and sale comps, and translate them into a defensible investment thesis for each market.
• Represent the firm at industry events and with the broker community; act as a visible presence in target markets.

• Set the underwriting thesis on each opportunity: market rent and lease-up assumptions, NNN structures and reimbursement treatment, TI/LC and Cap Ex budgets, exit cap rate, and hold period.
• Build and stress-test cash flow models in Excel and Argus, working with analyst support where available, and defend the assumptions behind them.
• Structure the capital stack, including debt sizing and terms and joint venture waterfalls and promote structures.
• Own the investment memorandum for both internal investment committee and capital partner review, including returns analysis, sensitivities, and downside cases.

• Partner with the Head of Capital Markets to match equity to each transaction, since capital is raised deal by deal rather than from a discretionary fund.
• Participate in capital partner meetings as the deal expert, respond to diligence requests, and support the negotiation of joint venture economics and governance terms.
• Contribute to deal-level and strategy marketing materials, including pitch decks and market overviews for…
