Director of Acquisitions (Atlanta Market Lead)

1. CORE VALUES

Five core values guide how we work with each other and with the brokers, sellers, and tenants we do business with. Here is how each one shows up in this role.

Always Be Amazing

In your market, brokers and sellers form their view of CHP through you. Fast responses, clean underwriting, and professional follow-through on every deal, won or lost, set the standard for how we are known.

Make the Next Person Successful

A deal is not finished at closing. You hand asset management and property management a complete diligence file, a clear business plan, and the context they need to run the building well from day one.

Change Is Part of the Journey

Markets shift, deals fall apart in diligence, and investment criteria evolve. You adjust your pipeline and approach without losing momentum, and you help shape how CHP grows its presence in your market.

Do What You Say

Acquisitions is a relationship business, and your word is your reputation. When you tell a broker you will submit an LOI by Friday, or tell the investment committee what diligence will cover, you deliver.

Have Fun and Excitement Every Day

Chasing deals should be energizing. We want someone who enjoys the hunt, celebrates wins with the team, and brings that energy to broker meetings, site tours, and industry events.

2. COMPANY OVERVIEW

Clear Height Properties is a growing industrial real estate investment firm with a portfolio spanning the Chicago/Kenosha, Dallas, Indianapolis, and Ohio markets. We are looking for a transaction-oriented leader to own deal sourcing and acquisitions in a defined market while playing a key role in shaping our investment strategy.

3. THE OPPORTUNITY

This is a senior-level role for a dealmaker who wants both transactional ownership and market leadership. As Director of Acquisitions / Local Market Lead, you will be the face of Clear Height Properties in your assigned market, responsible for building broker relationships, sourcing acquisitions, and closing industrial deals that meet our investment criteria.

You will report to the Chief Investment Officer and work closely with asset management, property management, and finance teams from LOI through closing and transition. This is not a support role. You own the pipeline.

4. WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Source and evaluate on-market and off-market industrial acquisition opportunities
• Build and maintain deep broker relationships in your assigned market
• Lead preliminary and full underwriting of acquisition targets
• Prepare investment summaries and present deals to the investment committee
• Draft and negotiate LOIs and purchase and sale agreements
• Manage due diligence processes from contract execution through closing
• Track market activity including vacancy, rents, absorption, and competing product
• Coordinate post-closing transition to asset management and operations teams
• Represent CHP at industry events, SIOR/NAIOP functions, and broker meetings
• Contribute to portfolio strategy discussions with senior leadership

5. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• 5 to 10 years of industrial real estate acquisitions experience, with a track record of closed deals
• Strong existing broker network in your market; relationships that translate into deal flow
• Proficiency in industrial underwriting, including pro forma modeling, return analysis (IRR, equity multiple, cash-on-cash), and debt structuring
• Working knowledge of industrial property fundamentals: clear height, dock configurations, truck court depth, power density, site coverage, and lease structure
• Experience managing due diligence processes from contract through close
• Clear communicator with the confidence to present deals to an investment committee and negotiate directly with sellers
• Self-starter who can manage a pipeline without daily oversight
• Bachelor's degree in real estate, finance, or a related field; SIOR, CCIM, or similar designation a plus

6. WHY CLEAR HEIGHT PROPERTIES

• Entrepreneurial, team-oriented culture with a flat structure and direct access to senior leadership
• Active acquiring firm with a clear investment thesis and the capital to close
• Competitive compensation including base salary, transaction-based bonus, and carried interest for the right candidate
• Opportunity to shape market strategy and grow with the platform
• Professionally owned and managed portfolio with institutional-quality operations
