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.
