Associate, Brokerage

Job Summary

We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Real Estate Advisory Associate to join our NYCAG team. In this role, you will work directly with corporate occupier clients in primarily a transactional support role to analyze their real estate portfolios, evaluate potential scenarios both financially and qualitatively, and support strategy implementation through lease transactions. Your strong analytical skills, understanding of real estate financial concepts, and transaction documentation proficiency will be instrumental in delivering impactful solutions and allow you to develop into a trusted client advisor, with the training and experience we will provide along the way.

Key Responsibilities

• Abstract and interpret commercial leases to understand a client’s financial obligations, rights, and strategic position.
• Review and compare term sheets and lease proposals, building side-by-side analyses of economic and non-economic deal points across multiple options.
• Aggregate data from diverse sources — leases, financial reports, market assumptions, broker proposals, capital budgets — into cohesive financial models.
• Model cash flow and P&L projections across real estate scenarios to support client decision-making.
• Build presentation-ready Excel outputs and PowerPoint reports that distill complex analyses into clear, actionable narratives for client audiences.
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders — corporate real estate teams, project managers, HR, finance, brokers — to ensure strategy alignment, evaluation, and implementation.
• Leverage AI tools — including Claude and other large language models — to accelerate research, drafting, and analysis workflows; apply prompt engineering techniques to elicit high-quality outputs; and critically evaluate AI-generated content for accuracy, completeness, and client-readiness.
• Stay up-to-date with industry trends and best practices, continuously expanding knowledge and learning new tools, software, and techniques.
• Thrive in a demanding environment, demonstrating autonomous drive, effective multitasking, and prioritization skills to ensure project deadlines are met.
• Communicate proactively, escalate issues appropriately, and take ownership of the accuracy and completeness of your work product.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master’s degree in a related field.
• 0–3 years of work experience in a professional corporate environment; real estate, finance, or consulting backgrounds are a natural fit, but not required.
• Foundational understanding of real estate financial concepts (or a clear ability and desire to develop it), including lease & purchase economics, capital budgeting, and cash & GAAP flow modeling.
• Highly proficient in MS Office suite (Excel, PowerPoint, Word) and familiarity with analytical software and reporting packages (e.g., Power BI, Tableau).
• Familiarity with ARGUS Enterprise (certification preferred); experience with DCF modeling and asset-level cash flow analysis in a commercial real estate context is a plus.
• Demonstrated AI fluency, including hands-on experience with large language models (Claude preferred), effective prompt engineering, and the judgment to validate and refine AI-generated outputs before use in client-facing work.
• Detail-oriented problem solver who wants to understand every layer of an analysis, not just reach an answer quickly.
• Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to convey complex information clearly to clients and colleagues.
• Proactive, client-friendly, and collaborative — someone who runs toward a problem, not away from it.
• Continuous learner with intellectual curiosity, motivated to stay updated with industry developments and emerging trends.
