OSAGE EXCHANGE

Director – Legal (Real Estate & Capital Markets)

Denver, CO|Full-Time|In-Office

About Osage Exchange

Osage Exchange is a Denver-based financial services and consulting firm specializing in real estate alternative investments. Founded by industry veterans Troy Bloom and Kirk Scott — each with more than 20 years of experience — Osage Exchange is the recognized authority on 1031 UPREIT programs and serves a select group of large institutional real estate sponsors. Osage Exchange helps these companies design, launch, and administer 1031 UPREIT programs, providing access to the syndicated 1031 exchange market through a fully outsourced solution.

The Opportunity

Osage Exchange operates at the intersection of commercial real estate and alternative investments, supporting large real estate sponsors who raise equity capital through the syndicated 1031 exchange market. This market has experienced significant and accelerating growth — from $5 billion of equity capital raised in 2023 to $8.4 billion in 2025. This growth is driven in part by a powerful demographic tailwind: a wave of Baby Boomer real estate owners seeking to defer taxes while transitioning from active property management to passive investing. Notably, the 1031 UPREIT structure that Osage Exchange specializes in has captured an outsized share of this growth, with the top capital-raising programs in the industry now utilizing this structure.

Osage Exchange is seeking a high-caliber candidate to join its growing team. This is a rare opportunity for a talented transactional attorney to step out of traditional legal practice and into a senior business role at a dynamic, entrepreneurial firm — with compensation that exceeds what most law firm associates earn and a path towards future growth.

The role sits at the center of Osage Exchange's business. Each year, the company oversees 10 - 15 new Delaware statutory trust (DST) launches across its client base, each structured as a Reg. D private placement to accredited investors. This individual will own the project management of each new offering launch from start to finish — coordinating with external legal counsel, reviewing and synthesizing third-party due diligence reports, and overseeing the preparation and finalization of all transaction documentation, including the private placement memorandum (PPM).

This role will report directly to the three Osage Exchange principals and will be a trusted senior member of a small, highly experienced team.
