We are looking for a sharp, detail-oriented analyst to join our growing team.

The Role

As a CRE Analyst, you will work directly with the founder and clients to build, refine, and deliver financial models that drive real investment decisions. This is a hands-on role that blends technical modeling with client interaction, market research, and content creation.

• Interface directly with clients to understand their businesses, investment strategies, and specific modeling requirements
• Research lease structures, rent comps, and market data to inform underwriting assumptions across various markets
• Underwrite proprietary deals for the firm’s own future investment opportunities
• Develop LinkedIn content and marketing materials to support the firm’s thought leadership and client acquisition strategy
• Organize and build pitch decks, sensitivity analyses, and scenario presentations for client deliverables
• Expand and maintain internal training materials, model documentation, and standard operating procedures

Qualifications

Required:

• Pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Finance, Real Estate, Economics, or related quantitative field
• High proficiency in Excel financial modeling (complex formulas, scenario/sensitivity analysis, INDEX/MATCH, dynamic arrays)
• Strong understanding of commercial real estate fundamentals: NOI, cap rates, cash-on-cash returns, IRR/equity multiples, debt sizing, and waterfall structures
• Excellent attention to detail and ability to audit and troubleshoot complex spreadsheet logic
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Preferred:

• Prior internship or work experience in investment banking, private equity, real estate private equity, or CRE brokerage/advisory
• Experience with VBA, Python, or Google Apps Script for model automation or data analysis
• Familiarity with ARGUS, CoStar, or similar CRE data platforms
• Experience creating professional content for LinkedIn or other business development channels
• Coursework or certifications in real estate finance (e.g., REFAI, CFA Level I, or university-level RE finance courses)

What You’ll Gain

• Direct exposure to live CRE transactions across multiple asset classes and deal structures
• Mentorship from an experienced financial modeler working with institutional and entrepreneurial sponsors
• Portfolio of real client deliverables to showcase in future career opportunities
• Flexibility of a remote, results-driven work environment
