Responsibilities
- Research property management companies — ownership, size, geography, service lines, and fit against our acquisition criteria

- Track outreach activity and responses in our CRM, and flag warm leads for timely follow-up
- Enrich and validate company and contact data, resolving gaps and inconsistencies so the team acts on accurate information
- Maintain data hygiene in our CRM (HubSpot) — keeping company records, contacts, and pipeline stages current and de-duplicated
- Assist with market mapping and competitive research to surface new pockets of opportunity
- Support the investment team with deal prep — research and clean summaries that feed models, memos, and diligence
Skills
- Current undergraduate or graduate student, or recent graduate — finance, economics, business, real estate, communications, or a related field
- Comfortable picking up the phone — you're not afraid of cold calls and can hold a confident, professional conversation with a business owner
- Strong research instincts and comfort working with data; you enjoy digging until the answer is right
- Exceptional attention to detail — you notice when a record or number looks off
- Proficiency with Excel / spreadsheets; comfort learning new software tools quickly
- Clear, concise written communication
- Self-directed and reliable — able to own a task from start to finish with limited hand-holding
- Genuine interest in private equity, entrepreneurship through acquisition, or the business of real estate
- Familiarity with a CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, or similar)
- Exposure to real estate, property management, or M&A concepts
- Experience with data tools, outreach platforms, or basic automation
Benefits
- Direct, mentored exposure to how a real acquisition platform sources, evaluates, and closes deals.
- A view into private-market investing from the ground up.
- Practical experience with the tools and workflows of a modern deal team.
- Meaningful, visible work — your output feeds real decisions, not busywork.
- Potential pathway to extended or full-time opportunities for strong performers.
