Head of Investments Multifamily Real Estate (Partner Track)

Texas Based Only. This is the seat that becomes the CIO. It starts as the person who does the work.

Company Overview:

Aligned Ventures is a privately held multifamily investment firm built on extreme alignment. We are investors first and sponsors second. We built a $50M portfolio — 440 doors across three Houston assets — with more than $17M of our own cash. Every door was acquired on our personal balance sheet before we took a dollar of outside capital.

We have proven the model and de-risked it with our own money. We have built the capital-raising engine and the operations bench. What we have not built is the deal engine. That is this seat — the last major seat before we scale.

The vision is uncompromising: $1,000,000 per month in distributions to our investors by 2030. That means acquiring at an institutional pace — two to three assets in 2027, building toward ten a year — and it starts with the person who owns every deal from the first broker call to the last investor report.

Where We Are — Read This Before You Apply:

We are a small team building the plane while flying it. Two founders, a handful of executives, three assets, and a plan that requires all of us to do the work ourselves before we get to direct anyone else doing it. Nobody here has a machine that does the critical revenue driving functions for them

Why This Seat Is Different:

Most acquisitions roles end at the wire. Yours doesn't.

You own the deal — sourcing, underwriting, structuring, close. Then you own the thesis for as long as we own the asset. Every month, every property is reviewed against your pro forma, in writing. Every month, you write the investor's answer for why the numbers are what they are. Every hold, sell, or refinance decision runs on your math. Your carry is tied to how each deal performs over its full life. If you have ever handed the keys to asset management at closing and moved on to the next hunt, understand that here there is nobody to hand them to. The keys stay with you.

You do not run operations. We have a Director of Property Operations with six years on these assets who commands our third-party property manager, executes CapEx, and drives performance on the ground. He reviews every deal with you before close — his read on staffing, turns, and CapEx is your operational due diligence — and he executes the business plan you write. When a property runs off plan, you tell him what is off and by how much, in writing, with a date. He owns the fix. You both report to the CEO.

The CEO is the investment committee — and nothing else in this function. He does not talk to brokers, does not underwrite, and does not operate at the property level. You bring him deals worth his signature and defend them upon presentation

The ceiling moves as you earn it. Year one, you build the deal engine and own the thesis on every asset. The partner track after that — firm-level equity, and asset performance across the portfolio reporting to you — is written down with milestones you'll see before you accept. Nothing here is granted on arrival. Everything here is available to be earned.

The Role:

• Sourcing. Build and work a Houston broker network that produces qualified flow inside our buy box. You are the firm's face to the brokerage community, in person.
• Underwriting. One institutional-grade model, built and owned by you. Every opportunity runs through it. Every number in it traces to a source document.
• Execution. LOI through close — negotiation, due diligence, debt placement, equity structure, investment committee materials.
• The business plan. You write the plan operations executes — targets, dates, CapEx sequence — with their operational review attached before it reaches committee.
• The portfolio thesis. Monthly written review of every asset against underwriting. Quarterly investor reporting — narrative and numbers. Hold/sell/refinance analysis. Re-forecast when the thesis moves.
• Capital markets. Agency and bridge debt, lender negotiation, refinance timing, waterfall mechanics.
• Investor-facing. When an institutional LP, a fund-of-funds underwriter, or a lender questions our numbers, you answer — live. You are the analytical firepower behind every raise our capital team runs.

What Success Looks Like:

• 30 days: One reconciled model per asset, signed off by the CEO. You can explain any number in our current reporting and where it came from.
• 60 days: Broker coverage live. First 30 deals underwritten with 2 LOI’s out based on our buy-box
• 90 days: Signed PSA and running Full closing process

Required Track Record:

• 5+ years in multifamily acquisitions, investments, or asset management at a private equity firm, owner-operator, syndicator, or institutional investor.
• A deal sheet of transactions you personally underwrote and drove to close — that you can still speak to today, including how they performed afterward.
• You build models from a blank workbook. You will work in ours, live.
• You have placed or negotiated debt and can walk through the refinance math on a deal you did.
• Houston-based, or relocating. This is a relationship seat in a specific market.

What This Seat Is Not:

• Not an acquisitions seat where the asset becomes someone else's problem at closing. You will open the same model in month 40 that you built in month one. If your energy ends at the wire, this structure will frustrate you inside a quarter.
• Not a seat with analysts underneath you. You are the analyst until you earn the hire.
• Not a property-operations seat. If you want to manage property managers, this is the wrong firm. That lane belongs to operations here, and it is protected.
• Not a big-firm environment. If your best work happened because a platform delivered deal flow, data, and a team to you, this will feel like starting over. It is.

Compensation:

• Base: $150,000 – $200,000 depends on verified track record.
• Carried interest on every deal you source, vesting over the life of each asset. This is the real upside — wealth built deal by deal, alongside founders with $17M of their own cash in the portfolio.
• Partner track: firm-level equity earned through performance, with written milestones you'll review before you say yes.
• Travel and software covered. Paid time off. Texas-based.
