  • Screen and prioritize properties against defined development criteria and active market/search parameters.
  • Research and interpret California zoning codes and land-use regulations to identify constraints, entitlement considerations, and whether sites are developable by zoning, density, and use.
  • Build, maintain, and refine Excel underwriting models and conduct high-level feasibility analyses to support offer decisions.

  • Strong Excel skills with experience building financial models and underwriting deals.
  • Excellent written and verbal English communication skills.
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and systems-driven with the ability to maintain clean, decision-ready data.
