About The Position

The Director of Transactions & Closings is a senior execution leader responsible for managing the full lifecycle of real estate transactions from contract execution through funding and closing. This role serves as the operational “quarterback” for deal execution, ensuring timelines, documentation, and counterparties remain aligned to drive efficient and predictable closings. Working closely with acquisitions, development, lenders, attorneys, and external partners, this individual oversees due diligence coordination, transaction logistics, and closing readiness while proactively identifying risks and removing execution friction. The role requires a highly organized, process-driven professional who can operate autonomously, manage complex multi-party transactions, and build scalable processes that support the company’s continued growth.
