The Portfolio Management team is central to the lifecycle of investment products, acting as internal fiduciaries for investors. This role focuses on owning and managing fund- and JV-level distribution models, ensuring accuracy in investor economics, coordinating inputs, and translating complex model mechanics into clear narratives for institutional investors.

Responsibilities

  • Own, maintain, and enhance complex fund- and JV-level models for investor distributions and returns.
  • Model and maintain distribution waterfalls, promote/carried-interest structures, preferred returns, and capital accounts.
  • Build and run scenario and sensitivity analyses for portfolio management decisions and investor discussions.
  • Produce period-over-period attribution to explain drivers of change.
  • Enforce model governance, including version control, assumption documentation, change logs, and reconciliation/QC.
  • Reconcile model outputs to actuals, including operating performance, cash, debt balances, and investor reporting.
  • Partner with Asset Management, Investor Relations, FP&A, Acquisitions, Capital Markets/Debt, and Accounting.
  • Model disposition and exit strategy impacts on distributions, valuation, and timing.
  • Provide strategic input on portfolio composition, revenue/expense policy, financing, capital structure, and growth/exit opportunities.
  • Address ad hoc investor requests and present portfolio progression to senior management.
  • Translate complex model outputs into clear narratives for leadership and institutional investors.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree required.
  • 4–7 years in real estate private equity, fund finance, investment banking, or private equity.
  • Real estate / fund modeling experience required.
  • Deep Excel modeling skills, including multi-entity fund models, DCF, distribution waterfalls, promote/carried interest, and preferred-return mechanics.
  • Working knowledge of JV and fund structures (GP–LP economics, promote tiers, capital accounts, LPA/JV terms).
  • Demonstrated experience with variance/attribution analysis and scenario/sensitivity modeling.
  • Model governance discipline (version control, assumption documentation, QC/reconciliation).
  • Comfort being accountable for a model of record.
  • Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel and PowerPoint.
  • Ability to read financial statements and disclosures.
  • Ability to interact professionally with institutional investors and distill complex analysis into simple, decision-ready messaging.
  • Exceptional attention to detail, an ownership mindset, and the ability to coordinate across teams and manage competing deadlines.
