About The Position

YES Communities is hiring a driven, analytical Asset Management Analyst to join their Finance team, reporting to the VP of Asset Management. The Asset Management team serves as an analytical backbone for the organization, combining real estate operating knowledge, transaction expertise, and financial rigor to sharpen decisions and processes across the company, from field execution to home office strategy and investor communications. This role offers hands-on exposure to how a growing multi-state portfolio is actually run and grown. The analyst will build models, benchmarks, and market intelligence that inform decisions ranging from day-to-day portfolio management to new acquisitions, partnering with senior team members on higher-stakes work like investor communications and acquisition recommendations. It's a high-visibility seat with a clear path toward greater ownership over time.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.
1–3 years in corporate finance, investment banking, consulting, or private equity.
Solid understanding of financial statements and how business decisions flow through the P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statement.
Advanced Excel and PowerPoint, with experience building financial models from scratch.
Strong analytical writing skills, able to produce clear, structured investment memos and market write-ups, not just slide decks.
Comfort working with incomplete or conflicting data, and skill in flagging genuine gaps rather than papering over them with assumptions.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the executive presence to translate financial concepts for non-finance audiences.
Self-motivated, resourceful, and comfortable managing multiple priorities across markets and portfolio initiatives in a fast-paced environment.

Nice To Haves

Prior experience in real estate, especially multifamily or manufactured housing.
Experience with IRR, NPV, and other valuation metrics.
SQL or Python experience.
Familiarity with enterprise tools such as Workday Adaptive Planning, Incorta, Tableau, or Power BI.

Responsibilities

Build and maintain financial models and decision frameworks used across the organization, from field execution to home office strategy, to evaluate both everyday portfolio decisions and new investment opportunities.
Partner with operations to build and refine expense management processes, providing clear, data-backed guidance on where and how to manage costs.
Analyze rent-setting strategy, pulling market comps and modeling NOI impact, and partner with field teams to translate that analysis into execution: accurate, on-schedule rent adjustments.
Evaluate new markets and acquisition targets, including market fundamentals, competitive supply, and regulatory risk, translating findings into investment memos and underwriting recommendations that inform go/no-go decisions for leadership and investors.
Track market and competitor benchmarks, including publicly traded REITs, keeping the organization's data and assumptions accurate and current for decisions at every level.
Prepare high-visibility presentations and reports for executive leadership, board meetings, and investor communications.
Support due diligence and capital allocation decisions for new initiatives and investments.
Contribute to cross-functional projects and take on other responsibilities as needed.
