• Build spend and utilization analysis and prepare reports in the standard format so Regional Managers can hand them to clients
• Support quarterly and annual revenue forecasting with accurate pipeline data, and keep Salesforce records current
• Handle team administration: schedule portfolio reviews, prepare agendas, take meeting notes, track action items, and keep shared files and templates organized and on brand
• Serve as first point of contact for routine data requests from Regional Managers, escalating anything beyond scope

• Bachelor's degree in business, finance, real estate, economics, data analytics, or a related field
• Two to three years of experience in data analytics, real estate underwriting, market research, or asset management
• Hands‑on underwriting experience, deep financial acumen, and a solid grasp of the commercial real estate (CRE) investment life cycle across the four major asset classes: office, industrial, retail, and multifamily
• Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills, plus working knowledge of a BI tool (e.g., Power BI, Power Apps)
