Asset Management Manager

The Asset Management Manager supports the team’s asset and portfolio strategy work across strategy development, CapEx/value-add execution, asset disposition, and investor communication. We are looking for candidates who bring a clear strength in at least one of the following areas: (1) financial modeling and analysis, (2) English/Korean business communication, or (3) disposition transaction experience. Candidates are not expected to be strong in all three—one demonstrated strength, paired with the aptitude to grow into the others, is sufficient. We welcome applicants across a broad experience range, as we are hiring two professionals into the team at varying seniority levels
