Associate, Asset Management
RRA Capital | Phoenix, Arizona
RRA Capital is a real estate credit platform focused on structured lending and opportunistic investments. We are seeking an Associate with 3-5 years of commercial real estate experience to actively manage a portfolio of transitional and value-add loans in Phoenix.
THE ROLE
This role requires strong real estate and credit judgment and spans post-closing business plan execution, borrower requests, extensions, modifications, workouts and resolution.
Your work will include:
- Manage a portfolio of commercial real estate loans by reviewing borrower reporting, monitoring performance against underwriting and business plans, and maintaining asset-level models and valuations
- Identify emerging credit, operational, sponsorship and market risks; maintain risk ratings and watchlists; and recommend actions
- Review loan documents and monitor covenants, extension conditions, reserves, cash management, reporting requirements and maturities
- Evaluate borrower requests, including extensions, modifications, draws, reserve releases and other lender consents
- Manage borrower and sponsor relationships and prepare asset-level reporting and recommendations for senior management and investment committees
- Collaborate with RRA's Underwriting, Originations, Capital Markets, Loan Servicing, Finance and Legal teams throughout each investment
- Support workouts, foreclosure and REO analysis, property inspections, market research and portfolio valuations
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
You should have:
- 3-5 years of commercial real estate experience, preferably in debt asset management, underwriting, lending or acquisitions
- Experience underwriting or managing performing commercial real estate loans; floating-rate bridge or transitional loan experience preferred
- Non-performing loan, workout or equity real estate experience is a plus
- Experience underwriting multiple property types and value-add business plans preferred
- Strong commercial real estate underwriting and financial modeling skills, including advanced Excel proficiency
- Familiarity with commercial real estate loan documents and lender protections
THE IDEAL CANDIDATE
The ideal candidate enjoys owning investments after closing and developing a deep understanding of the credit and underlying real estate. They are equally comfortable monitoring a well-performing loan, evaluating a borrower request or working through a developing issue.
Because RRA operates with a lean team, this person will wear multiple hats within Asset Management and should value the opportunity to build deep expertise and responsibility in the function.
The ideal candidate:
- Thinks like both a lender and an owner and takes pride in active asset management
- Is intellectually curious and wants to understand what is driving an asset's performance
- Identifies issues early and develops clear recommendations
- Takes ownership and communicates directly with borrowers and sponsors
- Moves comfortably between detailed underwriting, loan-document analysis, portfolio monitoring and higher-level investment judgment
- Enjoys cross-functional collaboration and is proactive, reliable and highly accountable
OUR CULTURE & CORE VALUES
At RRA Capital, we work as a team and treat each other with respect, humility, and good humor. We've built a culture that feels more like a family than a firm-and we take pride in holding ourselves and each other to the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.
- Enjoyable to Be Around - Team-oriented, professional, and ego-free.
- Passionate About Continuous Improvement - Committed to self-growth and feedback.
- Smart - Creative, efficient, and solutions-driven-not academic.
- Reliable - Self-starters with a deep sense of ownership and follow-through.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
Base salary commensurate with experience and discretionary performance bonus. Benefits include medical insurance, 401(k) with employer match and unlimited PTO.
