    Heron Wolf

    Regional director job in Chicago, IL

    $300k - $380k base + bonus | Head of Capital Raising | North America A rare opportunity to lead capital raising efforts in North America for a global real estate investment platform with an active private funds business. This is a newly created role with genuine autonomy and ownership. Rather than inheriting a fixed process, you would help shape the firm's North American capital strategy, working directly with global leadership and having a meaningful voice in how capital is raised, positioned, and deployed. If you're already operating in capital raising or investor relations and feel limited by internal politics, narrow remits, or execution-only responsibilities, this role offers broader influence and visibility. The platform operates globally across multiple real estate strategies and is backed by long-term institutional capital. Decision-making is senior, deliberate, and relationship-driven, with close collaboration across regions. You would be responsible for leading capital raising across North America, managing institutional and private investor relationships, supporting fundraising for private real estate funds and partnerships, and representing the platform with credibility in market. This tends to suit senior capital raising or investor relations professionals with private real estate or investment management experience, strong North American investor coverage, and comfort operating autonomously at a senior level. We appreciate it's hard to get the full picture from a job advert, so please reach out if you'd like more information. If there's alignment and you're ready to be considered, hit apply and we'll review and come back to you with potential next steps.
