Senior Vice President Investment - Real Assets

About the Company

Vantrock is an independent real assets platform. Real assets only. We start where we know the ground: logistics, warehousing and industrial parks, across the full chain — first mile, last mile, city-centre, dark-store and self-storage formats, and logistics-anchored mixed-use developments with distribution below and office above. From there, in sequence and only as each is delivered: industrial plots; suburban campuses, GCC and back-office space — vertical industries, where our expertise transfers; strata offices; and, in parallel, data centres and senior living.

About the Role

Reports to: Founder & CEO

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

Responsibilities

• Own the pipeline. Build and hold a book of actionable land and platform opportunities across warehousing, industrial and logistics in MMR, Pune, NCR and Bengaluru, with office and data-centre adjacencies where the platform's capabilities transfer.
• Originate from the demand side. Convert 3PL, manufacturing and e-commerce requirements — and corporate, GCC, hyperscaler and colocation requirements where a site supports them — into build-to-suit and pre-leased structures, not only land bought on spec.
• Own the underwriting and the Investment Committee. Form the independent view on location, demand, land economics, feasibility, leasing and exit; challenge the model; write the thesis, the risks and the levers; present and defend it.
• Structure and close. Land purchase and long-term lease, joint venture and joint development, build-to-suit and pre-lease, forward purchase and forward funding, forward sale to institutional buyers and listed vehicles, sale-and-leaseback, platform joint ventures — negotiated by you, diligenced through the platform's partners, driven to closing.
• Sponsor the assets you close. Own the thesis for life, sign the annual asset business plan, present at the monthly Asset Review, and lead corrective action when an asset drifts from its underwriting.
• Own the investment content of investor reporting and asset-level capital. Portfolio performance against underwriting for the CFO's sign-off; pipeline and track-record material, partner and lender diligence, and the deployment case alongside the Founder and the CFO.
• Build the team. Recruit, direct and develop the Associate and the Analyst into people who can run a transaction end to end and stay with the asset afterwards.

Qualifications

• 15+ years in real-asset investing and transaction execution, the greater part of it in warehousing, logistics and industrial real estate.

Required Skills

• Warehousing, office alongside; data-centre exposure valued; residential as background only.
• A record — on your Deal Sheet — of originating, underwriting, structuring and closing complex transactions: acres acquired, built area underwritten and delivered, equity deployed, exits achieved, and your role in each.
• Command of the instrument set: land purchase and long-term lease, JV and JDA, build-to-suit and pre-lease, forward purchase and forward funding, forward sale to institutional and listed buyers, sale-and-leaseback, platform JVs.

Preferred Skills

• CULTURAL FIT We're building Vantrock over a decade, not a funding cycle. We're looking for people who treat technology as the default answer rather than a supplement, who want to be co-builders of the platform rather than employees executing instructions, and who are comfortable saying "I don't know" and "I was wrong." If you want a defined role with defined edges, this isn't the right seat. If you want to help build an institution from zero, it might be.
• We don't hire roles. We build the platform. · Ownership, not employment. · Builders hire builders.
