The Role

We are seeking a senior-level professional with deep knowledge of institutional real estate companies and a sharp understanding of underwriting deals across all property types. You will serve as the guardian of quality and credibility for our client-facing deliverables and play a pivotal role in building strategic corporate partnerships.

What You’ll Do

* Act as Quality Assurance lead for investment memos, underwriting outputs, and deal evaluations.

* Ensure the accuracy, consistency, and clarity of our analyses across all property types.

* Leverage your network and expertise to help us forge and navigate corporate partnerships with institutional players.

* Translate institutional real estate rigor into AI-enhanced workflows that raise the bar for the entire industry.

* Work closely with the founding team in Santa Monica/Brentwood to shape product strategy and client success.

Who You Are

* 8–15+ years in institutional real estate (investment, underwriting, development, acquisitions, lending, or related).

* Proven expertise across multiple property types (multifamily, retail, hospitality, office, industrial, mixed-use).

* Strong background in deal underwriting and financial analysis.

* Experience with (or direct access to) institutional partners, lenders, and investors.

* Highly detail-oriented and hard-working (we are a start-up!).

* Excited to step outside the box and build something groundbreaking in an industry ripe for disruption.

* Based in Los Angeles (Santa Monica HQ) or willing to relocate.

Why Join Us

* Be at the forefront of a revolution in real estate decision-making.

* Work alongside a visionary founding team with experience across AI, real estate, and startups.

* Competitive package in a high-growth company.

* A chance to reshape the future of an industry worth trillions.
