Chief Investment Officer; CIO; Real Estate

The Chief Investment Officer (CIO) will define, drive, and execute the overall investment strategy, capital deployment, and portfolio management for the company’s multi-sector real estate developments. Operating across both residential (master-planned communities, high-density residential towers, built-to-rent) and commercial asset classes (retail centers, Grade-A office, hospitality, mixed-use), the CIO will lead equity and debt sourcing, deal structuring, feasibility studies, M&A, and land acquisition.

This executive leadership role requires a balance of institutional financial rigor, deep market intelligence, and hands-on transaction management to maximize risk-adjusted returns, optimize asset yields, and expand the company’s asset footprint.

• Investment Thesis & Strategy: Formulate and execute a multi-year investment strategy that aligns target risk-return profiles across residential, commercial, and mixed-use portfolios.
• Capital Allocation: Oversee capital allocation between Greenfield/Brownfield developments and stabilized, income-generating commercial and residential rental assets.
• Pipeline Sourcing: Establish and leverage high-level networks with land banks, master developers, brokers, financial institutions, and government bodies to secure prime land plots and strategic assets.

• Financial Modeling & Valuation: Direct complex underwriting models (DCF, IRR, NPV, Cash-on-Cash, sensitivity analyses) for land acquisitions, joint ventures, and asset dispositions.
• Feasibility Analysis: Evaluate product-mix feasibility, pricing strategies, absorption rates, and unit economics alongside the development and commercial teams.
• Due Diligence Management: Lead rigorous commercial, legal, financial, tax, technical, and ESG due diligence processes for all transactions.

• Transaction Execution: Lead end-to-end transaction management for real estate acquisitions, strategic JVs, public-private partnerships (PPPs), and asset disposition.
• Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs): Establish SPV structures, governance frameworks, and shareholder agreements to optimize tax efficiency and capital distribution.

• Capital Raising: Secure equity from institutional partners, private equity funds, family offices, sovereign wealth capital, and high-net-worth investors.
• Debt Structuring: Partner with the CFO to negotiate and structure project finance facilities, mezzanine loans, bank syndications, and potential REIT conversions.
• Board & IC Reporting: Prepare comprehensive investment memos and present clear asset allocation strategies to the Board of Directors and Investment Committee.
• Residential Strategy: Monitor unit economics, off-plan sales velocity, revenue management, and capital recycling into future pipeline projects.
• Commercial Strategy: Drive Net Operating Income (NOI) growth, cap rate compression, anchor tenant negotiation oversight, turnover rent structures, and long-term yield management.

• Portfolio Returns: Target vs. actual Levered/Unlevered IRR, Equity Multiple (EM), and Return on Equity (ROE).
• Capital Deployment Velocity: On-time deployment of capital into approved, high-yield development and yield-generating opportunities.
• NOI & Yield Optimization: Year-over-year Net Operating Income growth across stabilized commercial and residential rental portfolios.
• Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC): Optimization of overall debt and equity financing costs.
• Sourcing & Execution Efficiency: Pipeline conversion rate from initial deal screening to execution and closing.
