Job Summary:

The Real Estate Portfolio Manager is responsible for the strategic oversight, financial analysis, and performance optimization of the company's worldwide portfolio of owned land, real estate, and hotel assets.

• Coordinate with Legal, Finance, and external advisors to validate ownership structures, contractual terms, and compliance requirements.
• Implement systems, tools and reporting processes to centralize asset data and enhance portfolio visibility.

• Serve as the primary liaison between headquarters and Country Managers regarding portfolio strategy, asset performance, and capital planning.
• Collaborate with Finance, Accounting, Legal, Tax, Compliance, and Operations to ensure regulatory compliance, risk management, and financial accuracy.
• Manage relationships with external advisors, brokers, appraisers, architects, developers, property managers, and hotel consultants.
• Lead financial and commercial due diligence for acquisitions, dispositions, development projects, and strategic partnerships.

• Serve as the business owner for company-owned real estate assets, coordinating with third-party property managers, leasing brokers, architects, contractors, and consultants to ensure projects advance efficiently and align with approved business objectives.
• Oversee leasing initiatives, tenant improvement projects, capital improvement projects, and redevelopment activities from a financial and business perspective while relying on third-party experts for execution.
• Review project budgets, schedules, leasing proposals, and capital expenditures, providing recommendations and obtaining executive approvals as required.
• Provide functional direction and priorities to the Real Estate Coordinator to ensure timely follow-up, documentation, communication, and project coordination.
• Provide asset-level financial oversight of company-owned hotel investments, with a focus on returns, capital planning, and performance optimization rather than daily operational management.
• Evaluate hotel investment performance, capital improvement plans, and repositioning strategies and return potential.
