Analyst - Investments

Analyst Position

Our SelectLeaders client is adding an Analyst to support a growing development team. This role was created to build analytical and operational capacity as the firm scales its $1.5B+ industrial pipeline across Texas and Oklahoma.

This is a foundational role for a motivated early-career professional who wants to learn real estate development from the ground up — working directly alongside principals and a Sr. Associate in a lean, coaching-oriented environment. They will invest in your development; you bring the work ethic, attention to detail, and financial foundation.

• Due Diligence Support: Assist in coordinating due diligence for land acquisitions, construction loans, and asset dispositions. Compile and organize diligence materials, track open items, and support the preparation of financing packages for debt and equity partners.
• Market Research: Conduct market analysis to identify opportunities and trends, assess project feasibility, and maintain lease and sales comps databases across the target Texas and Oklahoma markets.
• Project Tracking & Coordination: Assist in tracking project milestones across land acquisition, entitlement, permitting, and construction. Help manage timelines and flag outstanding items to the project team.
• Reporting & Documentation: Prepare regular project status summaries and updates for internal use. Draft and review project-related documentation and ensure materials are organized and current.
• Team Support: Work closely with the Sr. Associate and principals across all active deals. Take ownership of assigned workstreams and proactively communicate progress, questions, and issues.
