Job Overview:

We’re looking for a discerning, detail-driven Analyst to join our growing Private Real Estate Debt team in New York City. In this role, you’ll be at the heart of our real estate debt investments which have been active since 1999—underwriting deals, supporting transactions, and helping drive data-backed decision-making for real estate debt investments. If you’re analytical, curious about real estate finance, want to have broad exposure to the debt investment process, and care deeply about the quality of your work, we want to hear from you.

  • Portfolio Management – Track performance metrics, monitor capital expenditures, and perform portfolio valuation analysis.
  • Data & Reporting – Maintain deal pipeline databases and help with firm-wide reporting and capital raising efforts.

Qualifications:

We’re looking for someone who’s not just great on paper—but a strong team player and a motivated, self-starter. Ideally, you have:

  • A bachelor’s degree in Real Estate, Finance, Economics, or Accounting
  • 2–4 years of experience in real estate (debt or equity), real estate accounting, appraisal, banking, or investment analysis
  • Strong Excel skills and experience with Argus, Word, and PowerPoint
  • Ability to write clear, concise investment memos and summaries
  • Ability to verbally express a well-informed opinion
