Job Description

Asset & Portfolio Manager

Are you a methodical, detail-driven professional who takes ownership, spots issues before they become problems, and thrives on turning data into action across an entire portfolio?

We're looking for an Asset & Portfolio Manager who brings both analytical rigor and strategic thinking to help drive performance across our growing portfolio of self-storage properties. In this role, you'll be trusted to monitor assets holistically, identify portfolio-wide trends and opportunities, hold teams accountable, and deliver meaningful insights that guide investment decisions at both the asset and institutional-level portfolio level, all while helping to scale a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment. If you're someone who loves systems, structure, and results – and can see the forest AND the trees – this is your seat at the table.

As an Asset & Portfolio Manager, you will work with our management partners to oversee financial and operational performance of our growing self-storage portfolio while helping to refine the systems, processes, and reporting that drive strategic decision-making. This is a hands-on, high-impact role suited for someone who is analytical, detail-oriented, and eager to grow with a fast-scaling firm.

As a hybrid role, you’ll act as both a strategic investment steward and operational driver — ensuring each property meets its potential while shaping the direction of the broader portfolio. This role may also evolve to include oversight of our private debt investments, with responsibilities aligned to credit performance, risk management, and capital allocation.
