As a Capital co-op, you will be responsible for providing support in all areas of capital including debt, equity/investor relations, underwriting, and asset management. You’ll participate in a variety of functions within capital that support the real estate development side of our business. Some of these functions include financial analysis & modeling, investor management, loan administration, and database maintenance. As a co-op at Merus, you’ll apply what you’ve learned in the classroom through your teachings and coursework and apply it directly in a work environment.
