  • Experience or exposure to real estate investment, property operations, or asset management
  • Strong writing, editing, and communication skills
  • Highly organized, detail oriented, and able to manage competing priorities
  • Ability to take broad direction and independently map out next steps
  • Comfortable using modern productivity tools like Google Workspace, Notion, and project trackers
  • Interest in real estate, investing, and current trends in AI

Nice to Have

  • Experience publishing newsletters or managing basic content pipelines
  • Familiarity with social posting tools
  • Prior work inside a real estate investment firm or family office
