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
