About The Position

Mandel Group is a real estate development and investment company focused on identifying and executing high-quality opportunities. Our team uses data-driven market analysis to evaluate land opportunities, underwriting assumptions, and competitive positioning across target submarkets. Mandel’s success is attributable, in part, to our reputation as Milwaukee’s premier multifamily development firm. This reputation has been forged over more than 30 years by maintaining strict standards of integrity and treating each stakeholder and customer ethically. Position Summary We’re seeking a Market Research Intern to support our development pipeline by building and maintaining a comprehensive market database. This role involves using proprietary and third-party research tools to collect, organize, and synthesize data related to land sales, comparable developments, job growth, demographics, and broader economic indicators. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, analytical, and eager to learn new tools and methods—including AI-enabled workflows—to make research faster, more accurate, and more repeatable. A prerequisite is ease of learning and adapting to different software programs that will be used in concert to create a synthesized market analytics dashboard. AI & Research Enablement (Training Provided) Mandel is interested in actively expanding the use of AI to improve research speed, organization, and communication. This internship position is at the forefront of our goals to apply AI tools to more efficiently collect and organize key data and metrics. Learn and apply AI tools to support market research, data organization, summarization, and presentation (e.g., creating repeatable workflows, templates, and prompts).

Requirements

Current undergraduate student in Real Estate, Finance, or related field.
Strong proficiency in Excel (sorting, filters, pivot tables; comfort working with large datasets).
High attention to detail and strong organizational skills; ability to manage repetitive tasks accurately.
Ability to learn new market research software tools quickly (Yardi, RealPage, ESRI, etc).
Basic data visualization skills (charts, mapping, dashboards) in Excel.
Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to summarize findings clearly and present results to the development team.
Interest in AI tools and process improvement (no prior expertise required).

Responsibilities

Build and maintain a structured market research database including: o Land sales and land listing comparables (pricing, acreage, zoning, entitlement status, utilities, etc.) o Market rent comparables (multifamily) o Demographic and economic data (population growth, household formation, income, rent/price trends, etc.) o Job growth and employer/industry trends
Use proprietary software tools and data platforms to gather and verify datasets; document sources and assumptions.
Create consistent data-entry standards (naming conventions, required fields, version control) to ensure database accuracy and usability.
Produce clear summaries and basic insights (tables, charts, maps, and short write-ups) to support internal memos, underwriting, and investment decisions.
Assist with ad hoc research requests for specific sites/submarkets (school districts, traffic counts, planned infrastructure, pipeline projects, etc.).
Coordinate with internal team members to ensure research aligns with active pursuits, deadlines, and deliverables.
Help create simple “how-to” guides or short trainings so others on the team can get up to speed on effective AI usage.
Maintain confidentiality and data integrity—using AI tools in a way that aligns with company expectations for proprietary information and source attribution.

Benefits

If you have not been exposed to integration of AI tools at school we will pay for an approved AI course/training program to help you build practical skills you can use during the internship and beyond.
