Job description

Industrious is the largest premium workplace-as-a-service provider and home to the highest-rated workplaces in the industry. Everything we do comes down to creating great days for teams of all sizes and stages, including our own. We believe that what makes a great day at work is the people on your team and the problems you get to solve together. We’re looking for people who love thinking outside the box and thrive in a truly collaborative setting. As teammates, we encourage new ideas and toast every win. We’re excited about having a meaningful impact on people’s workplace experience.

Great days also start when everyone can be their authentic self at work. Diversity of backgrounds, thoughts, and ideas is critical to our success in delivering great workplace experiences, both for our members and for each other. Industrious is committed to creating an inclusive, respectful environment that embraces your individuality and quirkiness. You are valued for who YOU are. We celebrate our people as individuals who can accomplish great things when we work together as one team.

As a Real Estate Analyst, you will help execute Industrious’ global network expansion strategy.

• Advance deal flow by working with landlords, agents, solicitors, and other stakeholders to drive the deal negotiation and decision-making process
• Lead underwriting and support proposal creation for external stakeholders
• Transition completed transactions and onboard internal teams across the company to ensure efficient handover of market analysis, deal information, documents, etc.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to advance site selection, design and construction planning, Investment Committee approval, negotiation, and internal deal onboarding
• Support preparation of recommendations to the Investment Committee with supporting material and qualitative data
• Develop tools and new systems that support the Real Estate group and help scale growth

Requirements:

• 3-5 years of experience in Commercial Real Estate (asset management, acquisitions, or development) or a related industry field (investment banking, investment management, finance etc.)
• Strong financial modeling, underwriting, and other analytical skills
• Ability to think outside the box and beyond the traditional real estate investment mindset
• Ability to build strong networks and relationships
• Excellent judgment with strong communication and presentation skills
• Proven ability to prioritise and take ownership in a fast-paced work environment
• Very strong project management skills; can execute and deliver on multiple projects simultaneously

• Willingness to travel up to 20% of the time as Industrious opens locations across the region
