• Conducting market and industry screens to support strategic investment decision-making
• Managing deal generation and pipeline activity through Salesforce
• Supporting broader corporate initiatives, including board presentations, capital raises, lender discussions, budgeting, and cash flow forecasting

What We’re Looking For The ideal candidate is analytically sharp, commercially minded, and comfortable operating with both rigor and urgency. This person should be able to work within an established investment framework while also building new analyses and tools when the situation demands it. Preferred qualifications include:

• Bachelor’s degree, ideally in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or another business-related field
• 3–5 years of experience in commercial real estate investment, acquisitions, capital markets, or another highly analytical environment
• Strong financial modeling skills, including the ability to build and adapt analyses for unique investment situations
• Experience with debt financing in real estate investments
• Strong understanding of acquisition, financing, and development documentation
• Exposure to value-add and/or development projects is a plus
• Strong command of Excel, Word, and PowerPoint
• Familiarity with Salesforce CRM is a plus
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to distill complex ideas into clear, concise recommendations
• Ability to operate independently, manage priorities, and communicate proactively in a lean, fast-paced environment
• Willingness to travel as needed
• Willingness to work primarily in person from MMG’s Washington, DC office, with occasional flexibility when appropriate
• Must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future

Who Will Do Well Here This role is best suited for someone who is:

• A fast learner who moves with urgency, accountability, and intent
• A self-starter who can drive work forward without heavy oversight
• Strategic, organized, and able to prioritize effectively
• Comfortable defending an investment thesis and engaging in thoughtful debate
