Key Responsibilities
- Lead discovery, demos, pilots, trainings, onboarding, and custom builds alongside Account Executives and Customer Success Managers.
- Run pilots and build screening, underwriting, diligence, and investment committee workflows in clients’ templates and formats.
- Perform deal-side work such as OM and broker package review; rent roll and T-12 normalization; lease and estoppel abstraction; ARGUS and acquisition model builds; third-party report review; comps; loan document and term sheet review; and investment committee materials.

- Deep familiarity with the documents and data that drive real estate investment decisions (OMs, rent rolls, T-12, leases, third-party reports, loan documents, ARGUS and Excel models).
- Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills; comfort with prompting and agentic AI workflows; ability to design repeatable automations for manual processes.
- Python, SQL, or experience building internal tools is a plus.
- Executive presence and relationship-building skills across junior to partner-level stakeholders.
- Strong communication and presentation skills; comfortable leading live demos and workshops.
