Support live transactions from LOI through closing, including diligence coordination, third-party report management, and closing prorations.
Assist with debt and equity structuring, lender and investor materials, and capital partner coordination.
Prepare investment memoranda, market research, comp analyses, and materials for investor review.
Build and maintain broker relationships; support pipeline management and conversion velocity.
Asset Management
Support oversight of business plan execution across the portfolio; maintain one current, point-in-time business plan per investment with clear assumptions and version control.
Own internal performance tracking, cash flow projections, and variance analysis; flag deviations and recommend corrective action.
Prepare monthly investor / lender updates and quarterly investor letters.
Support refinance, recapitalization, and disposition efforts from strategy through execution.
Drive cross-portfolio initiatives, including insurance, tax optimization, and capital structure projects.
Coordinate across verticals to ensure clean information flow between execution and investment oversight.
Contribute to the design and build-out of Aker's AI-driven asset management platform, translating asset management workflows into scalable, technology-enabled processes.

Direct exposure to live deal execution, including underwriting and transaction processes.

Strong AI skillset and comfort using AI based tools.
Strong commercial judgment, urgency, and ownership mindset.
Comfort interacting with brokers, lenders, investors, and senior stakeholders in a lean, high-accountability environment.
