About The Position

CF Capital is a fast-growing private equity real estate firm based in Louisville, Kentucky. CF Capital acquires, improves, and operates apartment communities across the Midwest and Southeast with a focus on creating better living experiences for residents, stronger returns for investors, and lasting value for the communities it serves. CF Capital operates under the mission “Elevating Communities Together,” believing that real estate is about more than buildings. It is about creating places people are proud to call home, delivering exceptional experiences for investors and partners, and building a company culture where great people can do meaningful work at a high level. Today, the firm owns and operates approximately 1,500 apartment units and manages roughly $175M in assets under management. Over the next 3 years, CF Capital plans to scale to 5,000+ units, launch its own property management company, and continue building the systems, people, and infrastructure needed to support that growth. Long term, the company is targeting 20,000+ units over the next 10 years. This role offers the opportunity to work directly with both founders during one of the most exciting growth phases in the company’s history and help build the operational foundation for what comes next. This role is designed for someone who wants to grow alongside the business over time. While the day-one focus is operational execution and founder support, there is a clear opportunity to expand into a broader leadership role as trust is earned and the company continues to scale. Progression through each phase is based on demonstrated performance, leadership ability, and alignment with CF Capital’s culture and values. This is not a guaranteed timeline, it is an earned trajectory.
