Investor Relations Engagement Associate

Job Title: Investor Relations Engagement Associate

Location: Indianapolis, IN (in-office — local candidates only) 

Reports To: CEO, Focused Capital 

(Note - this job listing is for the same position as "Business Development Associate - Capital Raiser". No need to apply to both.)

Role Overview 

We’re hiring an Investor Relations Engagement Associate to help expand our investor base and drive new capital into our real estate offerings. This is a sales-forward role focused on capital raising. You’ll engage new leads generated through our marketing channels, qualify them, build relationships, and guide them through our investment process — all the way from first contact to funded. 

Leads are warm — they’ve opted in via ads, LinkedIN, referrals, or our educational content. Your job is to act quickly, build trust, and move them from “interested” to “invested.” 

If you have experience in investor relations or capital raising, you’ll ramp faster — but we’re open to top-tier sales talent who can learn quickly and execute with excellence. 

About Focused Capital 

Focused Capital is a private equity real estate firm based in Indianapolis. We help accredited investors grow their wealth through passive multifamily investments across the Midwest. With multiple full-cycle exits and a strong pipeline of new acquisitions, we’re scaling rapidly and building a high-performing team committed to delivering consistent results. Focused Capital has transacted in over $100M of real estate and raised $20M in private retail investor equity to date.

We’re not looking for an order taker. We’re looking for a producer — someone who thrives in a fast-paced, founder-led environment and wants to play a direct role in helping raise $20M over the next 12 months and beyond.
