Analyst - Investments Jobs

LivCor , a Blackstone portfolio company, is a real estate asset management business specializing in multi-family housing. Formed in 2013 and headquartered in Chicago, LivCor is currently responsible for a portfolio of over 400 Class A and B properties comprising more than 150,000 units in markets across the United States.

Our business is focused on making real estate more valuable. But for us, it’s more than that. It’s people first, community always. It’s a life-filled career, not just a career-filled life. It’s doing good work, with good humans, and making a difference. It’s excellence in all its forms. Ultimately, we create great places to work, live, and grow. We do that by focusing on leaving people – and places – better than we found them.

Whew! Still with us? Cool. Let’s talk about where you’d fit in:

We are looking for someone to join the most active multifamily acquisitions team in the industry. As an Analyst - Investments, you will work with the LivCor/Blackstone deal teams to identify/underwrite/acquire/sell multifamily assets for Blackstone’s investment vehicles.

Furthermore, you will have the opportunity to leverage the platform’s competitive advantage via proprietary business intelligence and a suite of in-house specialist teams, including Redevelopment, Revenue Management, Asset Management, CapEx, Operations, Financial Planning & Analysis, Marketing, Strategic Initiatives, as well as access to industry leading technology solutions.

What We Offer

We know that if we take care of our team everything else will fall into place. We aren’t perfect, but we will try to set very clear expectations, always let you know where you stand, and do everything in our power to help you get where you want to go.

Our culture and values matter to us. A lot. We’re definitely not serious but we take this stuff seriously, if you get what we mean. We want a place that is an ego-free zone. A place where good people do good things together. It shouldn’t be rocket science in workplaces, but for some reason it still is? We’re absolutely determined to be different, and we think we’re doing a pretty good job at it. We have a CEO who makes fun of himself, and who will encourage you to tell him when he is wrong. In fact, he needs people to – we all do. Supportive challenge is good, it’s how we get better. We like getting better. We also love diversity, of all kinds. We need people who look, sound, speak, love, and exist differently from one another. This isn’t at the end of this paragraph because it’s an afterthought. It’s SO important to us we want it to stand out.

Right. On to the technical stuff that we know matters to you. We offer competitive pay that is commensurate with the market and relevant experience, and a full slate of benefits that even includes things like paid parental leave.

If any of this sounds interesting, then maybe we are a fit. Life is too short to work with people you don’t like. So whatever you do, don’t make that mistake.

The LivCorian Values

• Courageously Curious. We love to learn, even when it hurts.
• Relentless Hustle, Heart & Humility . Work hard. Be Kind. Make Better.
• Be you. Be Real. Be Open . You do you. Together, we will do something amazing.
• Help Others Win, Be A Good Neighbor. This is about ‘We, not Me.’
• Care, Always. We don’t want to let anyone down.
