• Build and maintain property- and loan-level financial models, including cash flow projections, debt service coverage, loan-to-value, debt yield, sensitivity, and scenario analyses.
• Prepare term sheets, proposals, investment memoranda, and other materials supporting transaction review and approval.
• Conduct market and property research, including comparable rents and sales, vacancy, absorption, supply pipelines, and growth trends.
• Identify key credit, market, sponsor, property, and structural risks and recommend appropriate mitigants.
• Review borrower-provided models and assumptions for accuracy, completeness, and reasonableness.
• Coordinate due diligence with appraisers, legal counsel, environmental consultants, engineers, and other third-party professionals.
• Track due diligence requirements, organize transaction information, and help facilitate an efficient underwriting and closing process.
• Monitor assigned loans and update financial analyses, valuations, and pro forma assumptions when required.
• Prepare concise analyses and presentations for senior decision-makers and communicate findings clearly to internal stakeholders.
• Support portfolio, pipeline, and ad hoc analytical reporting for the Origination team.

What You Bring

• A bachelor’s degree in real estate, finance, business, economics, accounting, or a related discipline.
• Three to five years of relevant experience in commercial real estate lending.
• Experience underwriting commercial real estate transactions and interpreting property operating statements, rent rolls, and market data.
• Advanced financial modelling and analytical skills, including strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel.
• A sound understanding of commercial real estate fundamentals, lending structures, valuation concepts, and key credit metrics.
• The ability to evaluate complex information, challenge assumptions, identify risk, and develop practical recommendations.
• Excellent attention to detail, accuracy, organization, and document management.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present technical findings clearly and concisely.
• The ability to manage multiple transactions and competing priorities in a deadline-driven environment.
• A self-motivated and accountable approach, with the ability to work independently and contribute effectively within a collaborative team.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office.
