Vice President Real Estate, Acquistion & Operations

McCombs • San Antonio, TX

128d

About The Position

We operate with the mindset of a private equity firm—value-oriented, opportunistic, and focused on execution velocity. While we are not structured as a traditional fund, we’re building a high-performing investment platform that targets compelling real estate and operating assets with strong upside potential. Our lean team works collaboratively across deal sourcing, execution, and post-close value creation. We are seeking a Vice President who is hungry to lead deals, drive performance, and build something enduring—with the autonomy to do great work, and the backing of experienced leadership. This Vice President role is designed for a player/coach—someone who thrives in the grey, moves with speed, and is obsessed with quality execution. You’ll lead all aspects of deal execution and own post-acquisition performance, while managing and mentoring a small, high-capability team. You’ll be instrumental in shaping our deal process, AI and automation strategy, and platform operations. This is a high-impact team leadership role that will appeal to someone energized by driving execution across acquisitions and operations—not someone looking for a traditional fund environment or a long ladder to climb.

Requirements

• 5–10 years of experience in real estate private equity, investment banking, institutional real estate, or a founder-led investment platform
• Strong financial modeling and underwriting capability
• Exceptional communication skills—written, verbal, and visual
• Experience leading small teams and managing across functions (acquisition + operations)
• Bias for action; thrives in fast-paced, unstructured environments
• Deep interest in platform building and driving value across the deal lifecycle

Responsibilities

• Lead all deal execution from underwriting to closing
• Prepare and finalize Investment Committee (IC) memos and presentations
• Maintain deal folder integrity and oversee all underwriting assumptions
• Lead weekly pipeline meetings and move deals efficiently through the IC process
• Categorize business plans (e.g., Merchant vs Legacy investment; LP to GP; Risk Levels, etc.) and track execution against those plans
• Own post-close execution with support from Associate and Asset Manager
• Conduct twice-weekly check-ins per asset to review OKRs, timelines, and blockers
• Partner with accounting on draw schedules, distribution planning, and financial reporting
• Submit weekly progress updates on deal and asset performance
• Directly manage Associate and Asset Manager; coach on modeling, memo writing, business plan execution, and AI workflow adoption
• Build a culture of accountability, rapid iteration, systemization, and strategic rigor across the investment team
• Lead the identification and deployment of AI tools and workflows to streamline underwriting, research, and reporting
• Maintain a prompt library for internal GPT-based tools and refine processes as technology evolves
• Partner with MD on broader platform development and team capability building
