Financial and Market Intelligence Analyst

Job Description

Job Description

Position Summary:
The Financial & Market Intelligence Analyst is the analytical and financial spreadsheet engine of the Washington Division, who will be responsible for day-to-day tasks, as well as being part of high-visibility projects aimed at making our current processes more efficient while keeping scalability in mind. This individual contributor will help to analyze and evaluate residential land opportunities; lead market, feasibility, and financial analysis; and give division leadership a clear, current view of market conditions. The analyst will help convert competitive, consumer, financial, and site-level data into recommendations that guide land investment, underwriting, product, pricing, community positioning, and the Division Strategic Plan.

Essential Duties:

Financial Underwriting, Feasibility, Investment Analysis & Approvals

• Prepare objective pre-feasibility and feasibility market-positioning submittals, including demand studies, site validation, cannibalization analysis, pricing, pace, buyer profile, product recommendations, and underwriting targets.
• Identify key assumptions, risks, constraints, opportunities, and information gaps; run downside and alternative sensitivity scenarios and clearly distinguish verified facts from assumptions requiring further diligence.
• Prepare decision-ready project summaries, market analyses, presentations, and investment materials for Division and Corporate Land Committee or other required approvals.
• Coordinate cross-functional due diligence with land development, forward planning, legal, purchasing, sales, marketing, construction, and outside consultants.

Market Intelligence & Competitive Research

• Own accurate, timely Competitive Market Assessments (CMAs) for active communities and potential acquisitions, tracking competitor pricing, net pricing, incentives, sales pace, lot releases, product, specifications, buyer profile, and new and resale inventory.
• Conduct regular fieldwork, including competitive shops, floorplan and specification reviews, site inspections, and submarket-perception checks, to validate third-party and internal data.
• Maintain reliable competitor, selling-effort, buyer-group, and submarket data coding in division and third-party platforms.
• Monitor macroeconomic, demographic, employment, migration, affordability, permit, resale, and housing-supply trends and translate them into division-specific implications.
• Develop and maintain a fact-based point of view on Washington submarkets, competitive positioning, risks, and emerging opportunities. 
• Produce recurring pricing and positioning analyses for active, feasibility, and pre-feasibility communities, including base and adjusted price-position charts, sales pace, incentives, and new and resale activity.
• Partner with sales, marketing, product, purchasing, finance, and land teams to recommend target buyer, product lineup, specifications, pricing, release strategy, and competitive positioning.

 

Reporting, Strategy & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work with Excel modeling tools to analyze new & controlled real estate developments. 
• Prepare monthly project updates to facilitate actual-to-budget variance analysis.
• Work closely with Corporate and Division finance teams to prepare and update quarterly business plans and associated financial reports. 
• Interpret and analyze results from data extractions to identify patterns and trends, including financial results.
• Measure and synthesize critical financial metrics to drive more strategic analysis. 
• Track KPIs and prepare associated financial reports. 
• Support the annual Division Strategic Plan with market sizing, submarket rankings, competitive positioning, supply-and-demand analysis, and land pipeline recommendations.

Required Qualifications:

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Finance, Real Estate, Economics, Business, Urban Planning, Statistics, or a related field.
• Financial analysis: Advanced Excel and demonstrated ability to build, audit, and explain land acquisition pro formas, sensitivities, and investment-return analyses.
• Market analysis: Ability to integrate field research, internal performance, third-party data, consumer insights, and macro trends into objective, decision-ready recommendations.
• Communication: Strong written, verbal, presentation, and relationship-building skills, with the judgment and confidence to influence decisions using data.
• Execution: Highly organized and detail-oriented, able to manage multiple opportunities, deadlines, and cross-functional workstreams in a fast-paced environment.
• Field orientation: Valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and ability to travel regularly throughout Washington for competitive shops and industry events.
