• Partner closely with executive leadership on strategy, growth, and long-term planning
• Serve as a visible leader across the Midwest portfolio, with regular property and market engagement

• Experience contributing to or supporting business development or platform growth
• Advanced proficiency in property management systems and reporting tools

Why This Role

• Executive-level autonomy with direct influence on strategy and outcomes
• Ownership-minded platform with a long-term investment horizon
• Competitive compensation with performance-based incentives
