The Asset Management Analyst has an incredible opportunity to work closely with and learn from various support roles within Avesta with a primary focus on assisting the Manager of Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) within the Asset Management team.  The analyst will work closely with asset management, operations, construction, acquisitions, portfolio management, investor relations, risk management and accounting teams.

Avesta is a multi-based real estate investment firm. Our primary business is the acquisition, renovation, and operation of multifamily apartment communities in select submarkets. We are a high-growth company: in 6 years we have acquired 12,000 apartment homes worth over $1B, executed more than 100 real estate transactions, and grown our combined investment-operating team to more than 350 teammates.  Over the long term, we plan to expand our business into new geographies and add new products such as senior housing, redevelopment, or other similarly complementary businesses with a heavy emphasis on the integration of technology.

The Analyst will contribute to the success of Avesta by gathering information and data from various software platforms as well as Avesta teammates and relaying information to key Avesta Service Partners to drive financial and operational performance on-site.
