Transactions Officer – Government Housing Programs

• →Lead the room: convene and run working sessions with project owners, Military Department counterparts, lenders, and the specialist panel — framing the issues, driving the discussion to a position, and carrying that position forward to senior government decision-makers
• →Lead course-of-action development for assigned transactions — frame the structuring alternatives (debt restructuring, additional-debt capacity, ground lease modifications, reserve and waterfall mechanics, owner equity and concessions, and new development financing) and drive them to a ranked, defensible recommendation
• →Build consensus across a multidisciplinary panel of specialists on the recommended structure, and ensure dissenting alternatives are documented and carried forward to the decision-maker rather than dropped
• →Serve as the single point of continuity for each transaction from intake through close
• →Support intake and baseline validation with the assigned portfolio advisor — proposal screen, source-document reconciliation, and identification of concession and structuring levers
• →Direct the financial modeling team’s sensitivity, pricing, and scoring work against the selected alternatives
• →Contribute to the independent downside and risk assessment of the recommended structure
• →Own the quality of the decision memo and briefing materials presented to senior government leadership
• →Support coordination of the government’s decision with Military Department counterparts and project owners, including Congressional notification
• →Capture precedents and lessons learned from closed transactions for reuse across the portfolio

• Bachelor's degree in finance, real estate, economics, or a related field
• 7+ years of experience in real estate finance, P3/infrastructure, structured finance, or investment banking with demonstrated transaction leadership — you have run deals, not only supported them; exceptional candidates with a compelling record and fewer years will be considered
• Hands-on restructuring, workout, or recapitalization experience: distressed or underperforming assets, lender negotiations, capital structure redesign
• Development finance experience (ground-up or phased construction) is highly valued — the Unaccompanied Housing book includes new construction transactions
• Experience leading multidisciplinary deal teams and specialist advisors — setting direction, sequencing the work, and holding the group to a decision under hard deadlines
• Strong written and verbal communication suited to senior government and institutional audiences, and the presence to hold a position in a room of specialists
• US citizenship required
• Ability to obtain a DoD Secret clearance
