About The Position

CBP Capital is the investment and capital platform of Colonnade BridgePort, focused on sourcing, structuring, and managing real estate investments across a diverse portfolio of development and income-producing assets.

We are looking for a curious and driven Analyst to join our growing Investment Management team. Reporting to the Vice President, Investment Management, you will play a hands-on role across real estate investment, development, and capital markets, supporting the evaluation, structuring, and execution of investment opportunities.

We offer a collaborative, high-performance environment focused on quality, continuous learning, and shared success, where you’ll be encouraged to take ownership, develop your skills, and grow professionally in a fast-paced, project-driven setting.

In this role, you will gain hands-on experience across the full investment lifecycle, including market research, financial modeling, underwriting, deal execution, and performance monitoring and reporting. You will have direct exposure to senior leadership and capital partners, working alongside experienced real estate investment professionals while contributing to live transactions from day one.

This role is open to candidates at varying levels of experience, and responsibilities and level of ownership will be tailored accordingly.

• You have a strong academic foundation in a relevant field (e.g., Commerce, Finance, Accounting, Real Estate, Economics), or equivalent experience that sets you up to thrive and grow quickly in this role.
• You’re naturally curious about markets and driven to understand what moves them. You analyze supply and demand, competitive positioning, and transaction activity, while keeping a close eye on capital and financial market trends, and how they shape investment strategy.
• You’re as comfortable building models as you are interpreting them. Leveraging advanced Excel skills, you develop and refine investment models that withstand scrutiny and help drive informed decisions. Experience using programming or analytical tools to analyze data, generate insights, and communicate them clearly is a strong asset.
• You are detail-oriented and analytical, with a strong ability to break down complex problems and translate them into clear, actionable insights.
• You can tell the story behind the numbers. Whether in writing or conversation, you communicate ideas clearly and effectively.
• You demonstrate ownership and initiative, contribute to a high-performing team, and are motivated to continuously raise the bar, while offering thoughtful perspectives and constructive challenge to drive better outcomes.
