We are seeking a detail-oriented, analytical Operations Associate who is interested in
real estate, specifically the affordable housing market in the US and thrives in a remote,
independent work environment. The ideal candidate brings strong financial modeling
skills, is proficient in Excel, and is comfortable navigating real estate data platforms like
CoStar. You’ll be responsible for supporting the current Project Manager in project
execution, analysis, and reporting—helping drive smarter, faster decisions across our
affordable housing initiatives.

purposes.
? Stay current on real estate and affordable housing trends, terminology, and policy
shifts.
