A bit about us

We are a scaled, publicly traded consumer platform with a national real estate footprint across owned, leased, and developed assets. The business is asset-intensive, capital disciplined, and growth-oriented, with hundreds of millions deployed annually across new development, asset reinvestment, and portfolio optimization. Finance is deeply embedded in strategic decision-making and plays a central role in how capital is allocated, returns are measured, and long-term value is created.

Why join us

• Build something from the ground up: this function doesn’t have an established playbook yet, so you’ll help define how it works
• Step into a Manager-level role as an individual contributor, with no direct reports, and own the platform’s financial strategy
• Direct visibility and access to senior leadership as strategy takes shape
• Full lifecycle ownership of your projects, from initial deal evaluation through construction monitoring to eventual disposition
• Manager-level compensation with bonus eligibility
• Backed by a high-growth, high-performing organization with strong recent earnings momentum
• Flexibility to expand into broader Property Development work, and to grow into team leadership as the business line scales

Job Details

This role provides high-level planning, financial analysis, and operational support for our capital-light, development-light residential platform. You will serve as the senior finance partner on this platform, working closely with Property Development, Finance/Accounting, JV partners, and business operations to analyze complex deal structures, model prospective opportunities, and support the ongoing expansion of the business. This is a Manager-level individual contributor role with no direct reports. The primary focus is on this platform specifically, with flexibility to support the broader Property Development team as priorities evolve.

Financial Analysis & Modeling

• Develop and maintain sophisticated multi-year pro formas for prospective opportunities, incorporating development cash flows, equity partner returns, development fee timing, and ongoing management/licensing revenues
• Model multi-family development pro formas including hard costs, soft costs, construction financing, permanent debt structures, equity returns, and long-term hold assumptions
• Build detailed financial comparisons across different JV structures, equity ownership percentages, and co-investment scenarios to support partnership negotiations with external developers and investors
• Model development fee accrual and revenue recognition, coordinating timing with construction milestones and contract deliverables

JV / Portfolio Performance Monitoring

• Track and analyze performance across an evolving portfolio of JVs at different lifecycle stages, from pre-financing through construction, leasing, stabilization, and exit
• Analyze JV earnings, loss distributions, equity valuation changes, and impairment considerations for financial reporting and management review
• Monitor and report on key drivers including absorption rates, achieved rents versus projections, operating expense budgets, and unit-level profitability

Capital Markets & Financing

• Analyze external financing structures including construction loans, permanent mortgages, mezzanine debt, and preferred equity; assess terms, conditions, and impact on project returns
• Support capital-raising activities including financial cases and return scenarios for potential co-investors
• Model sensitivity analyses around interest rates, leverage ratios, exit assumptions, and equity return thresholds

Reporting & Insights

• Design and maintain dashboards and reports tracking portfolio performance, investment returns, and development pipeline
• Prepare executive-level analyses and recommendations on prospective opportunities, market conditions, and strategic initiatives, and present them to senior leadership
• Support the broader Property Development team with forecasting, budgeting, and scenario analysis

Systems & Process Support

• Manage planning-system needs for Property Development, including data entry, model maintenance, and reporting
• Define and deploy financial processes and reporting frameworks as the platform scales
• Collaborate with Finance/Accounting and Corporate leadership to align on accounting treatment, financial planning, and strategic decision-making

Minimum Qualifications

• Extensive, advanced experience in Excel including complex formulas, pivot tables, and multi-sheet financial modeling
• Strong understanding of accounting and finance principles, including how transactions flow through financial statements
• Ability to follow through on deliverables and manage meticulous detail across multiple projects and tight deadlines
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Real Estate, Business, or a related field
• 5+ years of experience in financial or business analysis, real estate development, capital markets, or investment analysis, including independent ownership of complex models and executive-level reporting

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience as a financial or real estate analyst supporting multi-family residential development, real estate funds, or REITs
• Experience modeling or analyzing joint venture structures, equity partnerships, and co-investment arrangements
• Familiarity with commercial real estate development pro formas, debt structures, and permanent financing terms
• Capital markets experience: debt financing, equity raises, or valuation analysis
• Experience with relational databases and data analytics tools (SQL, SAS, Alteryx, Domo, or similar)
• Experience with enterprise planning/budgeting software
• Comfort navigating unstructured problem solving, ambiguity, and shifting priorities on a growing platform
