About the Opportunity:

Northspyre sits on one of the largest and most unique datasets in real estate development—covering budgets, contracts, invoices, costs, and change orders across thousands of active projects.
We are building a market intelligence platform that transforms this proprietary data into research and benchmarks that developers, owners, and capital allocators rely on to understand where the market is going.

You will analyze complex development data, identify meaningful economic signals, and produce original research that helps define the emerging category of Development Intelligence. Your work will inform industry conversations, support Northspyre's strategic positioning, and help our customers make better capital decisions.

• Analyze complex development data - Explore large datasets to identify trends, anomalies, and structural shifts in the real estate development market.
• Structure and prepare messy data for analysis - Clean and normalize unstructured project data using SQL, Excel, and other analytical tools.
• Translate research into clear industry insights - Produce concise, data-driven narratives that help developers, CFOs, and investors understand what is happening in the market and why it matters.
• Collaborate cross-functionally - Work with marketing, product, and sales teams to ensure research insights are effectively communicated to customers and the broader industry.
• Represent Northspyre's market intelligence externally - Present findings through webinars, industry discussions, and research publications.

We Are Looking For People Who Have:

• Experience analyzing markets or industries - Background in real estate research, economic analysis, consulting, brokerage research, or financial analysis.
