Hybrid

Elysium is pioneering the future of human living through a new category: experiential real estate communities. These are buildouts that leverage scale, density, supply-chain optimization, and innovative construction technology in order to engineer asymmetric experience-to-cost environments.


This is a holistic community with end-to-end services. Not just “amenities.” 

Think: living system where housing, food, energy, mobility, and a city OS meet. 

We’re hiring a veteran in finance who can finance the future revenue of revolution.

The apex nature of this role

If you do this right, you won’t just raise money.
You’ll create a repeatable financial engine for a new kind of city—one pilot, then many.

What you will own

You own the capital strategy end-to-end for the pilot village and the blueprint for rapid multi-site scaling.

  • Build the capital plan: sources/uses, sequencing, reserves, contingencies, covenants.
  • Structure the cap stack (debt + equity + alternative capital) that matches our phasing reality.
  • Lead lender + investor process: IMs, underwriting packages, IC narratives, Q&A, term sheets, closings.
  • Engineer the draw machine: construction draws, lender reporting, compliance, variance tracking.
  • Design “what happens when…” playbooks: rate shocks, cost overruns, schedule slips, lease-up variance.
  • Prepare for scale: oversubscription triggers parallel sites with financing architectures that don’t collapse under concurrency.

What success looks like (12 months)

  • You have a financeable pilot: clean underwriting story, credible schedule, lender confidence, and closed capital.
  • You’ve built an institutional-grade data room + reporting system that makes capital easier each round.
  • You’ve created a repeatable capital template for sites 2–N (so we don’t reinvent the stack every time).

The profile (bar-raiser only)

We’re not hiring for “finance knowledge.” We’re hiring for capital judgment under ambiguity.

Required signal

  • 10–15+ years in real estate capital markets / project finance / development finance
  • Proven track record raising and closing construction financing and/or structured equity
  • Deep fluency in underwriting, DSCR, LTC/LTV, contingencies, covenants, guarantees, completion risk
  • Can translate messy reality into lender-ready truth: schedule logic, GMP dynamics, change orders, and risk controls

Strongly preferred

  • Closed deals in mixed-use / hospitality / multifamily / master-planned contexts
  • Experience with public/private incentives: tax credits, abatements, grants, special districts (where relevant)
  • Comfortable building models that survive pressure: sensitivities, scenario planning, downside cases
  • Taste for lean execution: you naturally ask, “what can we delete?” before “what can we add?”

Personal operating style

  • High agency. 
  • You don’t “pitch.” You engineer conviction with clarity.
  • You can say “no” to a beautiful structure that breaks the project.

How to apply 

  1. Submit your resume using the “Apply” button below
  2. Provide a short “deal sheet” (can be anonymized): size, asset type, your role, outcome
  3. One artifact you’re proud of (choose one): an investment memo, a model screenshot, or a lender package outline
  4. A 1-minute video recording (one take, unscripted — without reading; script reading won’t be entertained)
