- Support introductions to prospective tenants, leasing teams and customers where appropriate to the project.
- Contribute expertise in sports venues, experiential hospitality, sponsorship and related commercial partnerships.

The relationships you bring
Development and execution
Landowners, developers, contractors, architects, site-development teams and experienced property operators.
Customers and commercial partners
Hospitality operators, hotel brands, corporate tenants, leasing teams, property managers, venue partners and sponsors.
Strategic capital
Real-estate family offices, property investment funds, lenders and development-equity partners.
Engagement and compensation
Advisory engagements start at 2–4 hours per month and may increase to 40 hours per month for advisory and board engagements, depending on the agreed scope. Work is primarily remote, with any local meetings or hybrid participation agreed separately. The city identifies the professional market you can support; it does not imply a Graphora office or a fixed in-person schedule.
Compensation varies by role and engagement. Venture scouting, capital formation support, portfolio-company advisory, board and operational engagements have different arrangements. Depending on the separately agreed engagement, compensation may include cash, carried-interest or equity participation; no universal hourly rate, award or participation amount is promised by this listing. Scope, compensation, any vesting and other terms are agreed in writing before the engagement begins.

Applying with Graphora
Create or sign in to your free Graphora membership and use your saved professional profile to apply for the selected specialty and city. Your résumé and LinkedIn information help the team understand your experience; you do not need to repeat your full professional history. The investment-background questions are self-attestations, not independent accreditation verification. Graphora reviews applications and discusses suitable responsibilities and engagement terms with selected applicants.
No investment, paid subscription or purchase is required for advisory consideration. This is an Advisory Board Member opportunity, not a fiduciary Board of Directors appointment or a full-time employee position. Professional contribution and role needs guide selection; applying does not guarantee an appointment. Graphora welcomes qualified applicants from all backgrounds.
