Associate – Real Estate Investments & Development

Family Office, Austin, Texas, us, 78716

Save Job

We are an entrepreneurial family office focused on high-stakes, large-scale real estate development. Our platform specializes in the complexity of raw land transformation, infrastructure, and community-building at scale. We don't just "buy buildings"—we engineer value by leveraging intricate capital structures, including

Opportunity Zones, TIRZ, CFDs, and layered public-private financing . We are looking for a technical powerhouse who views Excel as a strategic tool rather than a reporting requirement. Job Summary

The Real Estate Analyst/Associate will serve as the "Engine Room" for the Cofounder. This is a high-impact role centered on

advanced financial engineering

and

full-life cycle deal execution . You will be responsible for building the dynamic models that justify our acquisitions and navigating the technical due diligence required to move from raw land to vertical development. This is a rare opportunity to see the "entire board" of a development platform, with direct exposure to complex capital markets and high-level decision-making. Key Responsibilities

Precision Financial Modeling:

Construct, audit, and maintain complex dynamic pro formas from scratch. You must be able to model multi-tier waterfalls, sensitivity analyses (NPV, IRR, MoC), and sophisticated debt/equity structures involving tax incentives and municipal financing (TIRZ/CFD). Strategic Underwriting:

Move beyond basic comps. You will pressure-test development costs, absorption rates, and yield-on-cost metrics to ensure investment theses hold up under rigorous market volatility. Deal Packaging & LOIs:

Translate raw data into narrative. You will draft LOIs and prepare high-stakes Investment Committee memos that synthesize technical data into clear, actionable executive summaries. Technical Due Diligence:

Own the "Data Room." Coordinate with engineers, land-use attorneys, and environmental consultants to identify "red flag" risks in raw land acquisition and entitlement. Capital Markets Interface:

Support the structuring of the capital stack. This includes preparing professional lender packages for debt placement and equity decks for potential co-investment partners. Market Intelligence:

Conduct deep-dive research into infrastructure pipelines and demographic shifts to identify the "path of progress" before it becomes common knowledge. Qualifications

Educational Background:

Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Real Estate (MSRE/MRED), Economics, or a technical field. The "Modeler" Pedigree:

1–4 years of experience within a top-tier development shop, or investment bank. You should be able to build a complex development model in your sleep. Technical Stack:

Mastery of

MS Excel . High proficiency in PowerPoint for deck creation. The "Hustle" Factor:

An entrepreneurial "owner" mindset. You don't wait for a task list; you see a gap in a deal's logic and you close it. Subject Matter Interest:

A legitimate fascination with the "nuts and bolts" of Texas real estate—from water rights and MUDs to the mechanics of Opportunity Zones. Base Salary:

$80,000 – $150,000 (Highly competitive, based on modeling "stress test" performance and experience). Growth:

This isn't a "cog in the machine" role; you are the right hand to the Cofounder with a clear growth path in a small company
