Ori is seeking a Real Estate Associate / Senior Associate to help support and scale its investment platform. This role is designed to provide exposure across the full investment lifecycle, including underwriting, due diligence, structuring, execution, and early-stage asset management. The position will work closely with senior leadership and play a key role in advancing hotel-to-multifamily conversion projects across the United States.
In addition to strong analytical capabilities, the role requires sound judgment and the ability to work across a range of stakeholders, including investors, lenders, brokers, and local partners. We are looking for someone who combines:
● Institutional discipline and analytical rigor, with
● An entrepreneurial mindset and ability to operate in a less structured environment
This is a hands-on role within a growing platform, suited for someone interested in taking on increasing responsibility over time.
Key Responsibilities
Investment Analysis & Execution

● Build and maintain detailed financial models covering acquisition, renovation, lease-up, and
stabilized operations
● Lead and coordinate due diligence efforts including market analysis, zoning and entitlement
review, and physical assessments
● Prepare materials for internal investment committee and external stakeholders
● Work with local development partners, operating partners, and consultants
● Coordinate across architects, contractors, and lenders during predevelopment
Transaction Execution & Capital Structuring

Who You Are

In addition:
● You take ownership and follow through
● You are comfortable working in a growing platform where roles are not rigidly defined
● You can move between detailed analysis and higher-level discussions as needed
● You are thoughtful, reliable, and motivated to build something over time
This role is best suited for someone who values both:

● The opportunity to take on broader responsibility within a smaller team
Qualifications
● Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Real Estate, Business, or related field
● MBA or MSRE preferred but not required
● Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills
● Strong written and verbal communication skills
Compensation
● We offer a compensation package that includes base salary, performance-based bonus, and the opportunity to participate in deal economics and long-term equity.
