Job Summary

As a Senior Real Estate Debt Asset Manager, you will serve as the day-to-day leadership partner of the Head of Asset Management, and will have direct responsibility for asset managing a subset of the portfolio's most complex and higher-risk positions across a $10B+ commercial real estate debt platform (including senior loans, mortgages, and mezzanine/structured positions). You will drive disciplined performance oversight, risk management, and value preservation. You would be expected to have significant experience with loan documents, covenant administration, and valuation / mark-to-market processes.

This role requires a highly effective negotiator who can clearly articulate positions, advocate for outcomes, and navigate high-stakes conversations with senior stakeholders, while maintaining a strong control mindset and an exceptional borrower/investor experience.

• Negotiation and stakeholder presence: Lead negotiations with borrowers, sponsors, and internal/external stakeholders, presenting clear positions, escalation points, and trade-offs; maintain confidence and professionalism in discussions with senior executives and C-suite leaders.
• Loan document and covenant expertise: Maintain deep fluency in loan documents (covenants, cash management, control rights, reporting requirements, remedies, amendment mechanics) and ensure accurate interpretation, tracking, and enforcement across assigned loans.
• Portfolio oversight and risk identification: Oversee ongoing asset performance, including covenant monitoring, borrower compliance, and collateral performance; proactively identify risks that may lead to modifications, restructurings, or workouts.
• Quarterly / annual review ownership: Help drive the quarterly and annual review process (including scoping, risk assessments, and credit rating updates), ensuring timely, accurate, and decision-useful reporting.
• Valuation and mark-to-market partnership: Work closely with valuation and portfolio management teams to support mark-to-market processes for collateral and debt positions, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and adherence to standards.
• Investor / stakeholder responsiveness: Take a hands-on approach to investor requests, portfolio diligence, and performance updates, delivering clear, timely, and well-supported responses.
• Committee reporting: Provide asset management reporting and updates to the Real Estate Debt Oversight Committee, including recommended actions and key risks.
• Borrower relationship management: Serve as a primary point of contact for borrowers and internal stakeholders on payoffs and retention opportunities, delivering a consistent, high-quality customer experience.
• Process improvement and technology enablement: Support onboarding and integration of technology solutions to enhance monitoring, analytics, and service, and drive process improvements across the AM function.
