Sr. Manager of Finance

Irvine, CA 92618

Posted: 03/03/2026 Job Titles: FIN - Finance Manager Job Number: 5705 Pay Rate: 190,000

Job Description

Senior Finance Manager (Corporate Finance / Portfolio Strategy)
We’re hiring a highly technical Senior Finance Manager to help shape enterprise financial strategy as a real assets platform moves from rapid growth into a more institutional operating model.

This position blends corporate finance, portfolio-level analytics, and structured capital markets work. You’ll be the “modeling engine” for leadership—building institutional-quality models from the ground up and translating outputs into clear recommendations around capitalization, liquidity, and long-term value creation.

You’ll partner closely with senior decision-makers to consolidate portfolio cash flows, evaluate recapitalization paths, test securitization/structured finance options, optimize cost of capital, and uphold rigorous underwriting and diligence standards.
Key Responsibilities 1) Corporate & Portfolio Financial Strategy

  • Create and maintain fully integrated three-statement corporate financial models

  • Build portfolio roll-ups that consolidate asset-level operating performance and cash flows

  • Evaluate recapitalization outcomes (e.g., buyout, minority/structured equity, alternative capital solutions)

  • Model securitization concepts backed by stabilized affordable-housing cash flows

  • Assess valuation, NAV, and cost-of-capital implications across scenarios

  • Deliver sensitivity and scenario analysis to support capital allocation decisions
2) Capital Markets & Capital Stack Optimization

  • Analyze refinancing approaches and structured debt alternatives

  • Model multi-tranche debt structures and distribution waterfalls

  • Support leverage strategy, liquidity planning, and covenant monitoring

  • Produce investor-ready materials, return analytics, and capital partner reporting

  • Assist with negotiations alongside lenders, equity partners, and other institutional counterparties

  • Ensure adherence to JV structures, loan terms, and related compliance requirements
3) Advanced Modeling & Decision Analytics

  • Build/upgrade LBO, cash flow waterfall, portfolio coverage, and capital pacing models

  • Develop distribution schedules and liquidity/runway projections (13-week and longer-range)

  • Standardize modeling templates to improve repeatability and controls

  • Provide crisp, decision-ready insights to senior leadership
4) Affordable Housing Underwriting & Transaction Support (LIHTC-focused)

  • Oversee underwriting for development and acquisition opportunities

  • Improve underwriting tools and submission processes for tax credit transactions

  • Lead financial diligence, data room readiness, and documentation hygiene

  • Support debt, tax credit equity, and transaction closing activities

  • Coordinate with internal teams and external stakeholders through execution
5) FP&A Leadership

  • Own consolidated budgeting and forecasting

  • Convert property-level data into corporate dashboards and management reporting

  • Drive variance analysis, risk identification, and forecasting accuracy improvements

  • Implement QA standards and financial controls across models and reporting

  • Coach junior talent and raise the technical modeling bar
Ideal Profile

  • 6–10 years of experience in real estate private equity, structured finance/credit, infrastructure investing, corporate development, real estate investment banking, or REIT/real assets FP&A

  • Expert-level Excel skills with the ability to build models from a blank sheet

  • Hands-on experience with: three-statement models, 13-week cash flow, LBO, portfolio roll-ups, waterfalls, and multi-tranche debt structures

  • Strong understanding of capital stack mechanics and return metrics (IRR, MOIC, DSCR, ICR)

  • Executive-ready communication: can explain complex outputs clearly and concisely

  • Real estate background helpful, but high-caliber technical modelers from adjacent verticals are welcome
Technical Strengths

  • Institutional-grade financial modeling

  • Capital structure strategy and optimization

  • Enterprise valuation and NAV frameworks

  • Securitization / structured cash flow modeling

  • Debt tranching, coverage, and covenant analytics

  • Liquidity forecasting and runway analysis

  • Advanced Excel (Power Query/Power Pivot preferred)

  • Investor reporting and performance analytics
Why This Role Stands Out

  • Direct partnership with senior leadership on capital strategy

  • High-impact seat in a scaling platform at an inflection point

  • Opportunity to build durable financial infrastructure and standards

  • Mix of corporate finance rigor with real asset/portfolio strategy

  • Meaningful autonomy, visibility, and ownership
