Type:

full-time Head of Capital Formation (Real Estate Credit) Atlas Invest | New York, NY | Hybrid | Reports to the CEO Atlas Invest has built the origination engine, the credit framework, and the technology. This seat brings the institutional capital that matches them. Atlas is an AI-native real estate credit platform backed by BlackRock. We originate first-lien bridge loans across US metro markets and deliver them to investors through forward-flow separately managed accounts. The constraint on the business is not deal flow or credit quality. It is how fast institutional capital gets committed. This is a closing seat.

WHAT YOU WILL BE SELLING

• First-lien bridge loans, $200K to $15M, twelve-month average term, up to 70% LTV, US metro markets
• Managed account structure, $5M minimum ticket, and a return that comes from a structural gap rather than leverage or reaching on credit
• Credit framework, operating model, and technology built together, not bolted on: proprietary AI across sourcing, underwriting, and asset management, with 24-hour forward-flow approval on loans that fit the box
• Real-time portfolio access and reporting for investors, the first thing an allocator's diligence team asks for
• A team that has closed more than $500M of bridge loans and more than $7B of real estate transactions

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

• First meeting to funded account: the right allocators, the room, diligence to completion, terms, closing
• One channel: separately managed accounts from family offices, RIAs and wealth platforms, insurance investment offices, and private credit funds. No leverage providers, no loan buyers in year one
• The pitch, the objections, and the pipeline discipline. Leadership owns the data room, loan tape, reporting, and ODD responses
• A running start: allocator deck, leverage facility, live institutional conversations, an advisor network opening doors with you.

Headcount follows capital milestones

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• 90 days: investor universe mapped and tiered, live dialogue with allocators you brought, two SMA mandates in diligence
• 6 months: first SMA of $50M or more funded and deploying. This is the milestone that matters, and it carries a defined award
• 12 months: second and third accounts in diligence or funded, and a pipeline that is systematic rather than personal

WHO YOU ARE

• A book you can name: the allocators you can get on the phone in thirty days, the individual at each, and the honest basis of the relationship.
• A record of closing capital, not covering it: lead relationship on commitments of $25M or more, introduction through funding. SMA or forward-flow experience is the strongest signal. Placement agent backgrounds welcome
• Credit fluency: you can hold a real conversation about first-lien bridge collateral, where the loss content sits, and what happens when a borrower does not perform
• 8+ years in capital raising, investor relations, or business development at a private credit, real estate debt, or alternatives manager, or a placement agent. Familiar with ODD questionnaires, data rooms, and investor reporting
• New York based or commutable, hybrid.

Bachelor's degree required
