About the job Director of Acquisitions
Title: Director of Acquisitions - Texas Markets
About the Company:
Aligned Ventures is a founder-led multifamily investment firm focused on institutional-quality workforce housing across Texas. Our principal has invested over $30 million of personal capital into our own acquisitions — we were investors first and sponsors second.
Now that our track record is established, weve opened the platform to outside investors while continuing to co-invest ~20% of equity in every deal. This alignment attracts stronger brokers, better sellers, and higher-quality JV partners.
We currently own/operate assets in Houston with additional institutional-sized deals underway, and we are scaling aggressively into the top markets across Texas.
Role Overview:
We are hiring a Director of Acquisitions who can operate in both lanes:
- Deal Sourcing & Market Coverage (broker relationships, pipeline building, market intel)
- Institutional-quality Underwriting (modeling, risk assessment, structure, and Investment Committee preparation)
- Capital raising experience - raised capital successfully from LP and/or Family offices
This is not a pure sales role and not a pure underwriting role — it is for someone who's done both and wants full-cycle responsibility: sourcing, analyzing, presenting, and driving deals to LOI and PSA.
Details:
- Pay Rate Range: $100,000 - $150,000 base with GP EQUITY in every deal. Salary ranges by experience and amount of GP equity agreed upon
- Full / Part Time: Full-time - 1099 position
- Location: San Antonio, Houston, Austin or Dallas, TX Only

- Currently based in San Antonio, Austin, Houston or Dallas
- Top-tier underwriting/modeling capability (institutional level)

- Capital raising and investor relations sales and support skills. Raised capital from LP investors that can be verified through references

- Existing and active relationships with Texas multifamily brokers
