About the role
Focus-Development-Inc in Chicago seeks a Director of Acquisitions to lead the sourcing of ground-up development sites and build a robust on- and off-market pipeline in Chicago, its suburbs, and national markets with an emphasis on the Southeast U.S.
You will shape Focus’s business development strategy, manage broker relationships, and guide market-entry efforts while collaborating with leadership on deal priorities and entitlements. A proven multi-family underwriting background is preferred.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
