Senior Analyst

Denton Floyd Real Estate Group • Jeffersonville, IN

13d • Hybrid

About The Position

As Senior Analyst, Investments, you are the analytical engine of our growth. Every opportunity we pursue across senior living, multifamily, and industrial passes through your desk before it reaches the investment committee. You will build the models, run the market analysis, assemble the capital markets materials, and construct the investment committee packages that determine where we place our capital.
You will carry assigned transactions end to end, from first screen through closing, with limited oversight. You will also set the analytical standard for the team: work produced by junior analysts passes through you before it reaches leadership, and you answer for it as though you had built it yourself.
You will report to the Vice President, Investments, and work directly with capital markets, development, design, and Forge Construction.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Real Estate, Economics, Accounting, Business, or a related quantitative discipline
• Five to eight years in real estate investment banking, brokerage or capital markets, development, private equity, lending, valuation, or a comparable analytical seat
• Demonstrated ownership of underwriting from screening through closing
• Advanced Excel capability, including multi-tab development proformas, debt sizing, and joint venture waterfalls built from scratch rather than adapted from a template you do not fully understand
• Comfort working with demographic, competitive, and supply data, and the ability to convert raw data into a conclusion someone can act on
• Practical fluency with AI tools and modern data platforms, paired with the discipline to verify what they produce
• The ability to write a clear memorandum and build a clean presentation
• Demonstrated ability to review the work of others, set a standard and hold it, and raise the capability of people who may not report to you
• Self-directed work habits, a bias toward finishing, and comfort operating without daily supervision on a lean team
• Sound judgment handling confidential financial, transaction, ownership, and partner information

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with NIC MAP, CoStar, Esri, or Argus
• Coursework or certification in real estate finance, progress toward the CFA, or a graduate real estate degree
• Senior living, multifamily, or industrial experience. Welcome but not required, because product knowledge can be taught and analytical discipline cannot

Responsibilities

• Build institutional-quality development and acquisition models covering sources and uses, draw schedules, absorption and lease-up, operating proformas, debt sizing, and joint venture waterfalls
• Stress test the variables that actually move outcomes: rents, absorption pace, cost escalation, interest rates, and exit cap rates
• Own the firm's standard model architecture and review junior analysts' models before they leave the team
• Prepare monthly construction reports, quarterly reforecasts, variance analysis, and recurring investor, lender, and JV partner reporting
• Screen markets and submarkets using NIC MAP, CoStar, Esri, Census, and proprietary internal tools
• Build primary market area studies, penetration analysis, cohort sizing, and demand-to-supply conclusions that withstand lender and equity scrutiny
• Maintain competitive set libraries, rent and occupancy comps, and construction pipeline tracking
• Conduct site visits, competitor tours, and mystery shops, and translate what you observe into underwriting assumptions rather than anecdotes
• Author and present go or no-go screening memoranda under your own name
• Assemble offering memoranda, equity presentations, and lender packages that present the thesis clearly and the risks honestly
• Serve as day-to-day contact for lenders, equity partners, and brokers on assigned transactions
• Build and administer data rooms, lead diligence against the contract calendar, and coordinate third party consultants and counsel
• Normalize trailing twelve month statements, rent rolls, and capex history to a defensible in-place NOI
• Support LOI and PSA economics, closing checklists, and post-closing obligations
• Prepare and present committee memoranda stating the thesis, base case, downside case, key risks, and mitigants without decoration
• Bring a recommendation, not just a package, and defend it under challenge from ownership
• Be prepared to source every number that reaches the committee on demand
• Maintain the pipeline log of what we pursued, approved, declined, and closed, so the firm can honestly grade its own decision making

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) retirement plan with company match.
• Paid time off and company holidays.
• Professional development support and opportunities for growth across a vertically integrated platform.
