Senior Associate – Real Estate Talent Advisory

Los Angeles, New York, or Washington, D.C.

 

ABOUT RCLCO

Since 1967, RCLCO Real Estate Consulting has been the “first call” for real estate developers, investors, public institutions, and non-real estate companies seeking strategic and tactical advice regarding property investment, planning, and development. RCLCO leverages quantitative analytics and a strategic planning framework to provide end-to-end business planning and implementation solutions at the entity, portfolio, or project level. RCLCO’s three practice groups are Real Estate Economics, Fund Advisory, and Management Consulting.

A key component of RCLCO’s Management Consulting Practice is the Talent Advisory Platform, in which the team’s consultants assist real estate owners, operators, and investors with human capital-oriented solutions. Client engagements within Talent Advisory include:

• Organizational Design: developing an organizational structure that supports growth, aligns with strategic objectives, and creates greater operational efficiency and accountability
• Succession Planning: developing a process of selecting and developing key leadership talent to provide continuity, smooth transitions, and continued growth for the future
• Compensation Consulting: designing pay practices to incentivize performance and maintain market competitiveness
• Executive Search: identifying, analyzing, and recruiting industry talent to achieve strategic objectives, fill essential gaps in the organization, and meet succession plan goals

 

Executive Search assignments at RCLCO are approached in the same way the firm looks at any consulting assignment – delving deep into the client’s business and organizational dynamics and utilizing our real estate industry expertise to advise clients on how to best reach their goals. While placing strong, long-term candidates is always our primary goal, we also add value to clients in our analysis of their organizational structure, processes, and capabilities during every search. The team has set itself apart from more traditional real estate recruiting firms due to our consultative nature and unvarnished evaluation of candidates, made possible from years of working closely with countless real estate companies.

 

The Executive Search team represents real estate clients across all sectors of the industry, including multifamily, mixed-use, industrial, office, retail, hospitality, and land development. Clients are most often developers, owners, and operators of real estate, including privately-owned companies, REITs, investment managers, family offices, and non-profits. Search assignments focus on leadership-level positions with a specific real estate focus, including individuals in the executive office, development, acquisitions, finance, capital markets, construction, asset management, portfolio management, and property management. RCLCO’s engagements are retained searches, positioning RCLCO as a true partner to its clients.

 

RCLCO’s different service lines allow us to engage with clients from a variety of different angles. Our Executive Search engagements often lead to, or evolve from, other work at the firm, such as strategic planning, compensation analysis, or market studies. The Executive Search team collaborates closely with other specialists at the firm, and the interrelated nature of our engagements provides an even deeper understanding of our clients.

RCLCO is headquartered in Washington, D.C. with offices in Los Angeles, Austin, Orlando, Denver, and New York City. The team comes from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines, though everyone shares a deep interest in the built environment.

Each engagement provides the opportunity to peel back the layers of an organization and help clients make strategic hires who can significantly impact a company’s performance, portfolio, an
