  • Serve as a primary point of contact for operating partners and property teams on ESG and certification-related initiatives
  • Manage end-to-end project execution for building certifications (e.g., Fitwelâ„¢ and other frameworks)
  • Coordinate data collection, documentation, and submission processes across multiple stakeholders
  • Track progress against portfolio-level ESG goals and regulatory or fund-level commitments
  • Support ESG data management (e.g. benchmarking, utility tracking, and performance analysis)
  • Help build scalable processes, tools and best practices to standardize execution across assets
  • Contribute to client-facing materials, reporting, and strategic ESG initiatives
Requirements:
  • 5+ years’ experience in real estate, sustainability consulting, or related field
  • Familiarity with green building certifications or ESG frameworks (Fitwel Ambassador, LEED AP, WELL AP or other building certification credentials preferred)
  • Experience working with ESG or building performance data, including tracking progress and supporting reporting requirements
  • Strong project management and organizational skills; ability to manage multiple workstreams
  • Excellent communication skills, with an ability to engage effectively with external partners
  • Analytical mindset with attention to detail and data-driven decision-making
  • Interest in building and scaling a client-facing business line within a leading investment platform
For Illinois Only: The expected base salary range for this position is $100,000 to $150,000. Actual salaries may vary based on a number of factors, including skills, experience, and qualifications.
