The Role

This is a front-line capital raising seat, not a back-office support role. The Senior Associate, Investor Relations & Capital Raising will be primarily responsible for sourcing and developing new investor relationships with a focus on Mandarin-speaking high-net-worth individuals domestically, as well as family offices, registered investment advisors, and independent broker-dealers. The ideal candidate is a self-starter who has a track record of independently originating investor relationships and thrives in an environment with autonomy and accountability rather than heavy oversight.

Responsibilities

• Proactively identify, cultivate, and convert new prospective investors through direct outreach, networking, referrals, and event attendance
• Build and manage a personal pipeline of HNWI prospects, with a particular emphasis on Mandarin-speaking domestic investors
• Develop and maintain secondary relationships with family offices, RIAs, and IBDs
• Serve as a knowledgeable point of contact on the firm’s track record, current offerings, and investment strategy during initial prospect conversations
• Own and maintain accurate CRM records, ensuring pipeline activity, follow-ups, and investor interactions are tracked in real time
• Travel moderately (10–25%) to attend investor meetings, conferences, and industry events as needed
• Collaborate with the Managing Director of IR on fundraising strategy, market feedback, and pipeline prioritization

Qualifications

Required

• Minimum 5 years of post-undergraduate experience in a capital raising, fundraising, or sales role — ideally within real estate, private equity, wealth management, or alternatives
• Fully bilingual in English and Mandarin (spoken and written)
• Demonstrated ability to independently source and close investor relationships with minimal supervision
• Strong interpersonal and relationship-building skills with a natural comfort in outbound prospecting and business development
• Familiarity with CRM platforms and disciplined approach to pipeline management
• Bachelor’s degree required

Preferred

• Experience raising capital from HNWIs or the independent wealth channel
• Existing network or relationships within Mandarin-speaking investor communities in the U.S.
• Exposure to real estate private equity fund structures (commingled funds, JVs, single-asset vehicles)

Benefits

• Health Insurance: Comprehensive health care coverage with employer contribution toward premiums
• Retirement: 401(k) plan with 100% employer match up to 4% of salary
• Time Off: Unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO)
• Disability & Life: Company-provided Short-Term Disability, Long-Term Disability, and Life & AD&D insurance
