About The Position

JLL is seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Real Estate Advisory Associate to join their NYCAG team. This role will primarily support corporate occupier clients in a transactional capacity. Responsibilities include analyzing real estate portfolios, evaluating financial and qualitative scenarios, and supporting strategy implementation through lease transactions. The position requires strong analytical skills, an understanding of real estate financial concepts, and proficiency in transaction documentation. The role offers training and experience to develop into a trusted client advisor.

Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in a related field.
0-3 years of work experience in a professional corporate environment; real estate, finance, or consulting backgrounds are a natural fit, but not required.
Foundational understanding of real estate financial concepts (or a clear ability and desire to develop it), including lease & purchase economics, capital budgeting, and cash & GAAP flow modeling.
Highly proficient in MS Office suite (Excel, PowerPoint, Word) and familiarity with various analytical software and reporting packages (e.g., Power BI, Tableau).
Familiarity with ARGUS Enterprise (certification preferred); experience with DCF modeling and asset-level cash flow analysis in a commercial real estate context is a plus.
Demonstrated AI fluency, including hands-on experience with large language models (Claude preferred), effective prompt engineering, and the judgment to validate and refine AI-generated outputs before use in client-facing work.
Detail-oriented problem solver who wants to understand every layer of an analysis, not just get to an answer quickly.
Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to effectively convey complex information clearly to clients and colleagues.
Proactive, client-friendly, and collaborative — someone who runs toward a problem, not away from it.
Continuous learner with intellectual curiosity, motivated to stay updated with industry developments and emerging trends.
Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship.
