THE OPPORTUNITY
This is not your typical analyst job.
We’re looking for a rare kind of talent—someone sharp, driven, and ready to dive headfirst into high-stakes, real-world real estate. You’ll be working directly with senior leadership on some of the most complex deals in commercial real estate—acquisitions, restructurings, and distressed debt workouts.
You’ll gain exposure that most professionals don’t see until mid-career. You’ll have the opportunity to be in meetings that matter, building models that drive decisions, and helping structure deals alongside institutional players and elite advisors. If you’re hungry, analytical, and want to build something real—this may be your launchpad!
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Financial Modeling & Underwriting
- Build and maintain detailed Excel and Argus models for acquisitions, restructurings, and recapitalizations
- Analyze leases, rent rolls, operating statements, and capital stack structures
- Create pro-formas, stress tests, and return scenarios
- Research & Due Diligence
- Conduct deep market research, comps, and macroeconomic analysis
- Review loan documents, third-party reports, and property-level data
- Assist with site visits and internal investment memos
- Investment & Asset Management Support
- Support capital structuring, equity/debt analysis, and recapitalization strategies
- Track KPIs and asset performance across active investments
- Coordinate with brokers, lenders, attorneys, and institutional partners

• Expert-level modeling and underwriting across all CRE asset classes
• Real-time exposure to distressed assets, workouts, and complex capital stacks
• High-level investment decision-making and structuring
• Mastery of tools like Argus, CoStar, and advanced Excel functions
• Institutional-grade communication and presentation skills
BASELINE REQUIREMENTS (WHO YOU ARE)
✓ 3 years of full-time experience in commercial real estate, investment banking, private equity, or structured finance

✓ Familiarity with all major CRE asset classes: office, retail, industrial, multifamily, hospitality
✓ Ability to read and interpret leases, debt documents, and operating statements
✓ Strong written and verbal communication skills
✓ Bachelor’s degree preferred in Finance, Real Estate, Economics, or a related field
- Degree requirement may be waived for exceptional candidates with strong experience
✓ Experience with Argus and CoStar is a plus
✓ Exposure to CMBS, distressed assets, or structured finance strongly preferred
