• Enforce their SLAs, ensuring monthly property management reconciliations, capital calls, and investor distributions are executed flawlessly and on schedule

• Continually audit these documents to delete unnecessary steps
• Build, maintain, and enforce the daily use of the company’s internal task-tracking software

• Conceptual, working understanding of CRM architecture (tags, triggers, pipelines)
• Technical aptitude to oversee backend data flow into investor portals (e.g., InvestNext, Juniper Square) to keep reporting environments pristine

Benefits

• Performance Bonus: 15% – 20% annual target, paid out quarterly. This is not a discretionary "effort" bonus; it is tied strictly to KPI’s and outcomes
