Asset Manager

Indianapolis, IN

About Focused Capital:

Focused Capital is a private real estate investment firm focused on acquiring, improving, and operating multifamily communities throughout the Midwest. The firm partners with investors to acquire well-located assets where operational improvements, renovations, and strategic management can drive long-term value.

Focused Capital currently owns and operates a growing portfolio of multifamily communities and is actively expanding its platform. We are an entrepreneurial, performance-driven company where team members are expected to take ownership, think like operators, and execute at a high level.

Position Overview:

Focused Capital is seeking a highly motivated Asset Manager to own the operational and financial performance of the firm’s multifamily portfolio. This is a leadership role—not a support role. The Asset Manager will act as the strategic leader and owner’s representative for each property, directly accountable for driving performance, executing business plans, and maximizing NOI and long-term asset value.

The Asset Manager will work closely with property management companies, construction teams, and leadership to ensure each property is performing in line with investment objectives. This role requires a combination of strong financial analysis, decisive operational leadership, strategic thinking, and the willingness to hold people accountable and have difficult conversations when performance falls short.

Core Responsibilities

Asset Performance Ownership:

Take full ownership of the financial and operational performance of assigned assets. The Asset Manager is responsible for ensuring each asset is progressing toward its investment objectives—and for driving corrective action when it is not.

•      Drive NOI growth across the portfolio through hands-on leadership and strategic execution.

•      Execute approved business plans with discipline and urgency.

•      Monitor asset performance relative to budget and flag variances early with recommended solutions.

•      Identify and act on opportunities to improve revenue and reduce expenses.

•      Revenue growth strategies.

•      Renovation and capex execution.

•      Operational improvements.

•      Expense management initiatives.

Property Management Leadership:

Serve as the primary strategic partner to third-party property management companies. The Asset Manager must ensure property managers are executing the business plan effectively—and act decisively when they are not.

•      Lead regular operating meetings with property management teams. Set agendas, track action items, and ensure follow-through on commitments.

•      Hold property managers accountable to budget, KPIs, and performance standards. Address underperformance directly and swiftly—including making replacement recommendations when standards are consistently not met.

•      Evaluate leasing performance, marketing effectiveness, and staffing decisions.

•      Critically evaluate operational strategies and recommendations. Challenge assumptions and push for better outcomes.

KPI Tracking & Performance Monitoring:

Establish and monitor key performance indicators for each property. Analyze trends and proactively address performance issues before they become problems.

•      Occupancy and leasing velocity.

•      Renewal rates and delinquency.

•      Expense ratios and unit turn times.

•      Tour-to-lease conversions.

Financial Analysis & Reporting:

Monitor financial performance of each asset and deliver consistent, accurate reporting on a defined cadence that gives leadership clear, proactive visibility into portfolio performance.

•      Review monthly financial statements and conduct variance analysis relative to budget.

•      Build and maintain forecasting models and financial projections.

•      Lead capital planning and risk analysis.

•      Own annual budgets and set priorities for each year.

•      Review and interpret legal documents—loan agreements, guarantees, promissory notes—and coordinate with appropriate parties to ensure compliance.

•      Manage draw requests, loan servicing, DSCR tests, and service all lender requests.

Capital Improvements & Renovations:

Lead capital improvement and renovation programs end-to-end. Ensure projects are completed on time and within budget—and hold contractors accountable when they fall behind.

•      Develop budgets and scopes with ownership approval.

•      Manage project scheduling and contractor coordination.

•      Track progress against schedule and budget with regular reporting.

•      Manage lender draws.

Acquisitions & Dispositions:

Play an active role in the acquisition and disposition process.

•      Execute hold/sell analysis based on market conditions and drive the disposition process through close.

Property Inspections:

Conduct regular site visits to evaluate physical asset condition, operational performance, and property management effectiveness. Document findings and recommendations with clarity and urgency.

Documentation & Systems:

We build systems that scale. The Asset Manager is expected to build and maintain operational infrastructure that ensures continuity, scalability, and institutional knowledge that lives in the platform—not in any one person.

•      Establish and maintain SOPs, best practices, forms, and operational documents for all recurring asset management workflows.

•      Cross-train with team members and build operational redundancy to eliminate single points of failure.

•      Ensure all reporting, compliance tracking, and operational processes are documented and repeatable within the firm’s technology platforms.

•      Leverage AI tools and technology to streamline reporting, analysis, and operational workflows—working smarter, not just harder.

Qualifications

Leadership & Communication:

•      Proven track record of holding third-party property managers, contractors, and vendors accountable to performance targets and timelines.

•      Comfortable with direct, candid communication—including difficult conversations about underperformance, contract termination, or vendor replacement.

•      Experience working with and managing third-party property management companies.

•      Ability to travel to properties as needed.

We are seeking someone who:

•      Is proactive and solutions-oriented. Brings answers, not just problems.

•      Has strong operational instincts and can read a property’s performance story from the numbers.

•      Is comfortable making decisions and standing behind them.

•      Thrives in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment with real accountability.

•      Takes ownership of results—wins and losses.

•      Embraces technology and AI as tools to move faster and make better decisions.

Compensation

Executive Personal Assistant to Entrepreneurial Physician with a High- Profile Clientele, Houston, Texas

A dynamic, entrepreneurial physician who helps her clients try to boost their longevity as well as has a media presence is seeking an Executive Personal Assistant to serve as a true “right hand” and trusted operational partner. This is not a traditional administrative role, but a high-trust, high-responsibility partnership designed to amplify the principal’s focus, clarity, and effectiveness. The Assistant will act as a stabilizing force, thoughtful gatekeeper, and proactive problem solver, someone who instinctively anticipates needs, protects time and energy, and creates order in a fast-moving environment.

The ideal candidate brings calm confidence, exceptional judgment, and absolute discretion to every interaction. They think two steps ahead, operate with precision and urgency, and seamlessly blend executive support with high-level personal assistance. This individual understands that their work directly increases the principal’s decision speed and performance, and takes ownership of outcomes, not just tasks.
