  • Meaningful investment experience working with institutional equity and debt partners
  • Expert proficiency in Excel and Argus underwriting; excellent working knowledge of PowerPoint, Word, Project
  • Prior experience in supervision and management of staff; including a team-oriented approach and successful track record of developing effective working relationships with colleagues, vendors, and consultants
  • Outstanding communication skills, both verbal and written; comfortably interact in-house and with outside contacts
  • Outstanding organizational and multi-tasking skills; ability to work independently, and take strong initiative
  • Be a diligent, hard worker, capable of thriving in an intense, high-energy environment

  • Administer the creation and management of presentation packages for new deals and internal/external communications

  • Oversee the creation, management, and updating of investment proformas, budgets, schedules, cash flow templates, cash flow projections, and management of underwriting from initial sourcing to closing of the deal
