  • Ensure adherence to internal policies, regulatory requirements, and documentation standards.
  • Provide clear, data-driven recommendations and reporting to leadership on asset performance and resolution progress.

THE SKILLS YOU BRING

  • Expertise in special asset management, distressed debt, or multifamily loan workouts
  • Strong financial analysis skills, including cash flow analysis and property-level performance evaluation.
  • Ability to manage complex negotiations and challenging stakeholder relationships.
  • Knowledge of multifamily lending, loan documentation, and asset resolution structures
  • Experience working with legal teams and third-party vendors in workout or foreclosure processes.
  • Strong risk management mindset with attention to policy, compliance, and regulatory requirements
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including executive-level reporting.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, highly regulated environment.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor's degree in finance, Real Estate, Business, or a related field, or equivalent experience
  • 7+ years of experience in commercial or multifamily special asset management, credit risk, loan workouts, or distressed asset resolution
