Analyst, Acquisitions

We are seeking a highly motivated Analyst to join our Acquisitions team. This role offers direct exposure to the full lifecycle of institutional real estate investing, including sourcing, underwriting, structuring, due diligence, financing, and execution across multiple asset classes, including retail, industrial, medical office, life science, seniors housing, hospitality, and office.

As part of an efficient and entrepreneurial team within a $40B AUM platform, the Analyst will take on meaningful responsibility across both investment analysis and transaction execution. The role is designed to provide broad exposure and hands-on experience, with direct interaction with senior decision-makers and visibility into the investment committee process.

The Analyst will play an integral role in evaluating new investments, shaping investment recommendations, and advancing active transactions. Success in this role requires strong analytical capabilities, sound commercial judgment, and the ability to operate with ownership in a fast-paced, transaction-driven environment.

This is a high-visibility role with regular interaction across internal teams and external counterparties. The position may require extended hours in support of live transactions and time-sensitive deliverables.

The successful Analyst will be a self-starter who can take direction and guidance, but can work effectively with limited oversight. The candidate will take ownership of tasks and deliver work product accurately and timely. Having a team-first attitude, curiosity and the willingness to take risks are essential to success.
