Available in 2–4 weeks
Washington, D.C. Metro
Verified Aug 2026 · Updated 0 days ago
Target: $250–350K base salary · equity expected
A senior housing investment and portfolio management executive with 20+ years of experience spanning publicly traded REITs, non-traded REITs, private equity-backed platforms, and operating companies. This leader brings a rare 360-degree view of the sector — having stewarded assets across SHOP, NNN, and active adult structures — with deep capability in acquisitions, dispositions, operator transitions, capital planning, and value-creation strategy across portfolios ranging from dozens to hundreds of assets.
Known for a measured, analytically rigorous approach, this professional has led large asset management teams, negotiated complex lease restructurings and lender workouts, and driven measurable outperformance versus industry benchmarks. Equally comfortable building a platform from the ground up or optimizing a mature institutional portfolio, this candidate is well-suited for a head-of-senior-housing or senior acquisitions/investment leadership role at a growing or institutionalizing real estate investor or operator.
Selected achievements
- Oversaw senior housing portfolios aggregating $3B+ in asset value across 300+ properties throughout a 20+ year career, spanning SHOP, NNN, and active adult structures.
- Led 30+ major capital improvement projects totaling $25M+ in a single portfolio, achieving approximately 20% ROI on renovations and 12–15% ROI on strategic unit upgrades.
- Drove occupancy outperformance of approximately +180 bps per quarter versus major public benchmarks while maintaining revenue-per-occupied-room parity, generating ~2.5% RevPAR growth outperformance.
- Closed underperforming skilled nursing facility wings generating $3M+ in annualized savings; executed portfolio-wide disposition strategy recovering significant value for institutional stakeholders.
- Negotiated and restructured multiple NNN leases and large SHOP portfolio loans with major agency lenders, preserving asset value across challenged market cycles including COVID-19.
