Beyond its core real estate operations, the company's principal has an entrepreneurial family office that is involved in a range of ancillary ventures, including a brick-and-mortar food and beverage business in the specialty coffee sector and private equity investments.

While investment real estate is the foundation, the opportunity embraces a versatile and dynamic environment, where team members have exposure to a broad range of industries and business functions. The company's culture values agility, resourcefulness, and collaboration, with close coordination alongside the firm's principal and trusted third-party resources.

What You Bring

• 3-5 years of experience in business operations, office management, or administrative support, ideally in a small business or entrepreneurial setting
