Overview :

Macdonald and Company is proud to partner with a privately held real estate investment and development firm focused on multifamily acquisitions across the U.S. Sunbelt. The firm partners with institutional and family office investors throughout the U.S. and Latin America and is at an inflection point of growth, transitioning leadership within its acquisitions platform. The firm seeks a strategic, execution-oriented Head of Multifamily Acquisitions to lead sourcing, underwriting, and execution efforts for new multifamily investments, with the flexibility to pursue other asset classes as market opportunities arise.

Role Summary :

The Head of Multifamily Acquisitions will oversee all aspects of the acquisitions process; from strategy and deal sourcing to closing and investor relations for multifamily assets across the Southeast, Texas, and other key U.S. growth markets. The ideal candidate combines institutional discipline with an entrepreneurial mindset and thrives in an environment where capital is raised deal-by-deal from a diverse LP base.

Key Responsibilities :

• Lead the multifamily acquisitions platform across target markets, including value-add, core-plus, and select development opportunities.
• Source, evaluate, and close multifamily transactions through an established network of brokers, owners, and institutional LPs.
• Identify and execute opportunistic acquisitions in other asset classes (retail, office, or mixed-use) as appropriate.
• Structure and negotiate joint venture partnerships, balancing LP and GP perspectives.
• Collaborate with the Managing Partners on capital formation strategy and investor engagement across institutional, family office, and HNW channels.
• Oversee underwriting, due diligence, and Investment Committee preparation, ensuring disciplined risk assessment and presentation quality.
• Manage and mentor a team of analysts and transaction managers; ensure modeling accuracy, market research depth, and efficient execution.
• Serve as the firm’s investment ambassador, articulating strategy and track record to LPs and co-GP partners.
