الرئيس التنفيذي للاستثمار (CIO) - العقارات

The Chief Investment Officer (CIO) will define, drive, and execute the overall investment strategy, capital deployment, and portfolio management for the company’s multi-sector real estate developments. Operating across both residential (master-planned communities, high-density residential towers, built-to-rent) and commercial asset classes (retail centers, Grade-A office, hospitality, mixed-use), the CIO will lead equity and debt sourcing, deal structuring, feasibility studies, M&A, and land acquisition.

This executive leadership role requires a balance of institutional financial rigor, deep market intelligence, and hands-on transaction management to maximize risk-adjusted returns, optimize asset yields, and expand the company’s asset footprint.

• Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs): Establish SPV structures, governance frameworks, and shareholder agreements to optimize tax efficiency and capital distribution.

4. Capital Markets, Investor Relations & Fund Raising

• Debt Structuring: Partner with the CFO to negotiate and structure project finance facilities, mezzanine loans, bank syndications, and potential REIT conversions.
• Board & IC Reporting: Prepare comprehensive investment memos and present clear asset allocation strategies to the Board of Directors and Investment Committee.

• Residential Strategy: Monitor unit economics, off-plan sales velocity, revenue management, and capital recycling into future pipeline projects.
• Commercial Strategy: Drive Net Operating Income (NOI) growth, cap rate compression, anchor tenant negotiation oversight, turnover rent structures, and long-term yield management.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
