Job description

FLOORSPACE is a Vancouver-based commercial real estate brokerage and technology company. We advise companies on leasing decisions across Metro Vancouver, combining market knowledge, research and technology to give our clients better information and better advice.

We’re looking for a Research Coordinator to join our team. This is an entry-level role for someone who is curious about commercial real estate, strong with data and detail, and interested in learning how the Vancouver market works from the ground up.

The Role

Research is an important part of how we work at FLOORSPACE. You’ll help maintain the market intelligence our brokerage team relies on every day - from tracking buildings, companies and leasing activity to supporting client assignments, prospecting and market analysis.

The role combines desk-based research with time in the market, including property tours and building walks throughout Metro Vancouver.

What You’ll Do

• Research Vancouver’s commercial real estate market, including buildings, tenants, vacancies, leasing activity and market trends
• Maintain and improve the accuracy of our internal property, company and leasing data
• Track changes in the market and identify information that may be relevant to our brokerage team and clients
• Conduct building walks and property visits to develop firsthand knowledge of the market
• Research companies and prospective clients to support business development and prospecting
• Help prepare market surveys, research materials and client-facing analysis
• Work closely with our brokers to respond to research requests and support active assignments
• Use FLO, our proprietary brokerage platform, to organize and maintain market information
• Help identify better ways to collect, organize and present data
• Support additional research and brokerage projects as required

What We’re Looking For

You don’t need previous commercial real estate experience, but you do need to be curious, organized and willing to learn.

Ideally, you bring:

• A bachelor’s degree in real estate, finance, urban planning, economics, business or a related field
• Strong research and analytical skills
• Excellent attention to detail and a high standard for accuracy
• Comfort working with data and Microsoft Excel
• Clear written and verbal communication skills
• An interest in commercial real estate, business and technology
• The initiative to find answers rather than wait for them
• Good judgment around priorities and deadlines
• A collaborative approach and willingness to receive feedback
• An interest in getting out of the office and learning the market firsthand

Why FLOORSPACE

FLOORSPACE is a growing independent brokerage where research is closely connected to the work our brokers and clients are doing every day. You’ll get exposure to active assignments, learn the Vancouver commercial real estate market firsthand and work directly with an experienced team.

We also believe people do their best work when there is room for a life outside the office. Our team benefits include:

• Paid Time Off and Company Holidays
• Summer Fridays, with an early office close during the month of August
• A company-wide seasonal break over the holidays, in addition to vacation time
• Performance-based bonus eligibility
• Professional development, mentorship and opportunities to build your commercial real estate knowledge

Our office is collaborative and primarily in person. For someone at the beginning of their career, we think there is real value in being around the team, joining conversations, getting out into the market and learning by doing.

Compensation

The base salary for this position is $52,000–$60,000, depending on experience, education and qualifications.

The position is also eligible for a performance-based bonus program tied to individual contribution and company performance.
