<div><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Company Overview</strong></div><div><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Rex is a privately held ecosystem of entrepreneurial ventures led by Peter Rex, spanning real estate private equity, technology, insurance, and AI. We build businesses and investment platforms that generate both exceptional financial returns and meaningful societal impact. At the core of our strategy is investor engagement: attracting aligned capital partners who share our long-term vision. We are building the most compelling investor-facing ecosystem in the private markets. The role offers exposure to a uniquely diverse platform, combining institutional-quality real estate and high-growth tech ventures, all aligned under a singular mission-driven vision.</span></div><div><br></div><div><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">About Us</strong></div><div><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Our mission is to catalyze human flourishing through stewardship, serving people in all nations. We seek a transcendent impact, second to none, crossing geographies and making a permanent mark on history.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">We aim to uplift investors, foster flourishing families, create enduring trust, and contribute to a more beautiful world through our investments, products and services, and new ventures.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Our investments are primarily in real estate, with additional allocations to tech, energy, and alternatives, employing a downside-protected, long-term approach to investing. We are grounded in timeless morals and seek to preserve and grow both investor capital and our own.</span></div><div><br></div><div><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The Opportunity</strong></div><div><span style="color: rgb(23, 24, 26);">Rex is seeking an Asset Manager to architect and enforce excellence across a scaling portfolio of multifamily assets. This mandate is for a top one-percent performer who looks, acts, and communicates as a fiduciary while operating with the hardcore intensity of a competitive athlete. You will own the performance of 2,000+ units, scaling that engine to 30,000+ units through disciplined execution and sharp commercial instincts. This is an execution-driven builder role for someone who thrives in bringing order to chaos. You will command respect from property management teams and external partners, holding them to board-level discipline through rigorous, data-driven oversight. You must be AI-fluent, leveraging emerging technology to drive operational efficiency and identify financial outliers. Your functional muscle includes 7+ years of experience in structured finance, with a proven record of placing agency debt and negotiating complex loan workouts. You are a front-line closer with the gravitas to sell Rex’s management services to ultra-high-net-worth investors and family offices. You must combine scrappy, zero-to-one hustle with the sophisticated communication skills required to navigate high-stakes lender negotiations. We need a hard-charging executor who is firm yet respectful, a watchdog who inspires excellence while maintaining the missionary fire required to build a multi-generational enterprise. Must be missionary to the bone, obsessed with the stewardship of investor trust and deeply passionate about catalyzing human flourishing through the built environment. Fully remote, with a strong preference for Austin as a home base.</span></div><div><br></div><h3><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">About the Role</strong></h3><div><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">This role exists to build and run an institutional-grade asset management function across a fast-scaling multifamily portfolio. You will own the operating and financial performance of 2,000+ units today and help scale that engine to 30,000+ units over time. The mandate is simple: protect investor capital, drive NOI growth, enforce discipline, and create a portfolio that performs under pressure.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">You will own asset-level business plans, portfolio performance, lender strategy, and third-party management accountability. You will operate at the center of acquisitions, finance, property management, capital partners, and leadership. You will set the standard for how Rex underwrites decisions, measures performance, escalates issues, and turns fragmented information into clear action.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">You will build the systems, reporting cadence, and decision-making infrastructure required to bring order to chaos. That includes enforcing board-level rigor across property operations, identifying financial outliers before they become problems, and using AI and emerging technology to increase speed, accuracy, and operating leverage. You will also step into the field as a commercial operator, helping win and retain investor relationships by demonstrating sharp judgment, credibility, and command of the business.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">This role is for a rare operator who combines fiduciary judgment, structured finance depth, commercial edge, and athletic intensity. You must be able to push hard without losing trust, drive accountability without creating drag, and represent Rex with sophistication in rooms that matter. This is high-stakes work tied directly to investor outcomes, platform credibility, and long-term enterprise value. Must be missionary to the bone.</span></div><h3><br></h3><h3><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Key Responsibilities</strong></h3><ul><li class=""><span style="background-color: transparent;">Own the financial and operational performance of a growing multifamily portfolio, with full accountability for NOI, cash flow, occupancy, collections, expense control, and business plan execution</span></li><li class=""><span style="background-color: transparent;">Architect and enforce a best-in-class asset management operating system across assets, teams, and external partners</span></li><li class=""><span style="background-color: transparent;">Build and manage asset-level strategies, including hold-sell analysis, capital planning, renovation pacing, lease trade-out targets, and operational turnaround plans</span></li><li class=""><span style="background-color: transparent;">Lead weekly, monthly, and quarterly performance reviews with property management teams, holding operators to clear metrics, deadlines, and standards</span></li><li class=""><span style="background-color: transparent;">Create rigorous reporting packages for leadership, investors, and lenders that translate portfolio data into decisions and action</span></li><li class=""><span style="background-color: transparent;">Identify operational and financial outliers early, diagnose root causes, and implement corrective plans with urgency</span></li><li class=""><span style="background-color: transparent;">Drive lender strategy across the portfolio, including agency debt placement, refinancing, covenant compliance, reserve negotiations, modifications, and complex loan workouts</span></li><li class=""><span style="background-color: transparent;">Negotiate directly with lenders, servicers, attorneys, and counterparties in high-stakes situations where precision, control, and credibility matter</span></li><li class=""><span style="background-color: transparent;">Partner with acquisitions and finance to pressure-test underwriting, transition new assets into the portfolio, and align execution against the original investment thesis</span></li><li class=""><span style="background-color: transparent;">Evaluate and improve third-party property management performance, including staffing plans, revenue management, maintenance execution, resident experience, and budgeting discipline</span></li><li class=""><span style="background-color: transparent;">Leverage AI tools and emerging technology to automate reporting, improve operating visibility, surface anomalies, and increase team efficiency</span></li><li class=""><span style="background-color: transparent;">Support capital formation and business development efforts by presenting Rex’s asset management capabilities to ultra-high-net-worth investors, family offices, and strategic partners</span></li><li class=""><span style="background-color: transparent;">Serve as a front-line closer in management and investor conversations, using data, judgment, and executive presence to build conviction and trust</span></li><li class=""><span style="background-color: transparent;">Raise the bar across the platform by instilling urgency, accountability, and fiduciary discipline in every operating rhythm</span></li></ul><h3><br></h3><h3><strong style="background-color: transparent;
