Job Description
Job Title: Senior Investment Associate (Acquisitions & Asset Management)
Location: Texas (Austin, San Antonio, or Houston) – Required
Compensation: $90,000 – $100,000 Base + Performance Bonus + GP Equity Path
The Role:
Aligned Ventures is hiring a Senior Investment Associate to support the Partners in executing a high-volume acquisition mandate. This is a technical role focused on financial analysis, due diligence management, and operational reporting.
You will act as the "Technical Control Tower" for the firm. Your primary responsibility is to ensure the integrity of our financial data—from the initial underwriting of a new deal to the monthly performance tracking of our existing portfolio. This is a direct apprenticeship role with the Partners, designed for a professional who aims to evolve from an Analyst into a Principal.
Core Responsibilities:
1. Acquisitions & Underwriting
- Financial Modeling: Build and manage complex dynamic financial models for value-add multifamily assets. You must be capable of building waterfall structures (Tiered IRR/Pref) from scratch.
- Pipeline Screening: Review T-12s and Offering Memorandums to filter opportunities based on our buy-box criteria. You will be responsible for stress-testing broker assumptions against market realities.
- Due Diligence Coordination: Manage the closing checklist. You will coordinate third-party reports (ESA, PCA, ALTA), audit lease files, and assist in physical unit inspections during the contract period.
2. Asset Management & Reporting
- Variance Analysis: Track monthly P&L performance against the pro-forma budget. You will identify operational discrepancies (expense leakage, income gaps) and report them to the Partners.
- Investor Reporting: specific monthly and quarterly performance decks. You are responsible for translating raw financial data into clear, accurate investor updates.
- Renovation Tracking: Maintain "Budget vs. Actual" trackers for all CapEx projects to ensure business plan execution remains on schedule.
Mandatory Hard Skills & Qualifications :
- Experience: 2–5 years of direct experience in Real Estate Private Equity, Investment Banking, or Commercial Lending.
- Advanced Excel Proficiency: This is a non-negotiable requirement. Candidates will be required to pass a timed financial modeling test during the interview process. If you rely on pre-built templates and cannot troubleshoot circular references or build dynamic cash flow projections from blank cells, do not apply.
- Texas Residency: You must currently reside in Houston, Austin, Dallas, or San Antonio. This role requires physical site visits and property tours.
- Operational Literacy: Ability to read and interpret a T-12, Rent Roll, and General Ledger.
The Opportunity :
- Mentorship: Work directly with the Principals to learn the full lifecycle of a deal, from LOI to Exit.
- Wealth Creation: This role offers a clear path to General Partnership (GP) equity in the assets you help acquire and manage.
- Growth: We are aggressively scaling to $1B AUM. We are looking for a key team member to grow with the portfolio and into a more senior position
