Job Title: Development Associate/Financial Analyst

Dallas, TX | Real Estate Development | Full-Time

About the Company

Our client is a well-established and growing real estate development company based in Dallas, Texas, focused on delivering high-quality residential and retail projects across the US. Their team values innovation, precision, and collaboration as we shape communities that thrive.

Position Overview

We’re seeking a Development Associate/Financial Analyst with strong analytical skills and a keen interest in real estate development. This role is primarily focused on financial modeling, forecasting, and investment analysis, but also requires a basic understanding of the development process, including researching permit fees, impact fees, and site-related costs. The ideal candidate is comfortable working with large data sets, building pro formas, and collaborating across departments to support deal analysis and execution.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain detailed financial models for potential development projects, including pro formas, cash flow projections, and sensitivity analyses.
  • Analyze project feasibility and provide recommendations based on return metrics (IRR, ROI, NPV).
  • Assist with market research, land comps, and underwriting assumptions.
  • Research permit and impact fee structures in municipalities across Texas to inform early-stage budgeting.
  • Work with the development team to understand cost assumptions, timelines, and regulatory considerations.
  • Prepare investment packages, pitch decks, and reports for internal leadership and external capital partners.
  • Track actuals vs. projected financial performance across active projects and highlight variances.
  • Monitor and interpret market trends, construction costs, and interest rates affecting real estate development.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Real Estate, Economics, or a related field.
  • 2–4 years of experience in a financial analyst role, preferably within real estate development.
  • Advanced Excel skills (modeling, scenario analysis, pivot tables, etc.).
  • Familiarity with real estate development processes, including permitting and entitlement, is a strong plus.
  • Strong analytical and critical thinking skills with excellent attention to detail.
  • Clear communication and presentation skills.
  • Self-starter with a collaborative attitude and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
