Strada Ventures LLC is a woman-owned real estate consulting and development company with expertise in affordable housing. Strada provides customized services to for-profit and nonprofit affordable housing developers. Strada helps its clients acquire and rehabilitate existing real estate properties, construct new affordable housing properties, and manage their assets. Strada operates primarily in NYC but also in Upstate NY, Baltimore, Kentucky, Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico. Strada is a small, fast-growing firm that is looking for someone to grow with the company. Strada started in 2019 with the Principal Courtney Horwitz and one client and has since grown to a company of 15 with over 50 clients.
The position offers a unique opportunity to work collaboratively with a team of seasoned affordable housing professionals, helping developers, owners and mission-driven organizations navigate complex operational, financial and regulatory challenges, while supporting their ongoing asset management needs. You will work across a diverse range of affordable housing portfolios and initiatives – from stabilizing distressed multi-building portfolios to developing and implementing asset and property management strategies—and see your work translate into stronger operations, improved financial performance, and the long-term preservation of quality affordable housing.
This is a hands-on leadership role for a candidate who is driven, organized, entrepreneurial and able to lead projects and teams with confidence. The ideal candidate pairs strong financial and analytical skills with deep knowledge of affordable housing and can move seamlessly between high-level portfolio strategy and day-to-day problem solving. They understand how individual property issues fit within broader operational, financial and organizational goals and are energized by diagnosing challenges, implementing solutions, building systems, mentoring staff and helping clients turn around distressed assets and operations.
Strong interpersonal skills, initiative, sound judgment, and a collaborative mindset are essential, as is the ability to see both the forest and the trees. The Deputy Director will play a meaningful role in shaping the practices, tools and culture of a growing practice area within Strada and must be excited to join a small, passionate, hardworking and cohesive team. The selected candidate will report to the Director of Asset Management.
