• Review loan documents, appraisals and other financial and property-level diligence materials.
• Prepare detailed investment and credit memoranda with recommendations for senior members of the team.
• Monitor existing CMBS investments and conduct ongoing credit surveillance.
• Work closely with investment, risk and legal teams throughout the diligence and investment process.
• Stay current on developments across CRE, CMBS and the broader structured credit markets.

Qualifications

• 3-6 years of relevant experience, ideally within CMBS, CRE credit, structured credit or commercial real estate investing.
• Experience at an investment bank, alternative asset manager, credit fund, B-piece investor or similar platform.
• Strong understanding of CRE fundamentals, including property-level underwriting, lease structures, valuation and credit analysis.
• Advanced financial modeling and analytical capabilities.
• Ability to handle a high volume of underwriting while maintaining the ability to conduct deeper analysis on complicated situations.
• Experience with Argus, CoStar, RCA or other CRE/CMBS analytical platforms is a plus.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Bachelor's degree in finance, economics, real estate, statistics, computer science or a related discipline.
