Analyze operating statements, unit mix, occupancy, pricing, and historical performance where available. Market & Feasibility Analysis: Assess supply and demand, rental or room rates, competitive positioning, development pipelines, customer segments, and operating benchmarks. Translate findings into clear recommendations on whether and how Flow should pursue an opportunity. Management Agreement Structuring: Support the structuring and negotiation of management agreements, including base and incentive fees, pre-opening or technical service fees, term, performance tests, owner obligations, termination rights, exclusivity, and brand standards. Deal Materials & Approvals: Prepare deal summaries, financial analyses, presentations, and approval memoranda for senior management, clearly articulating the strategic rationale, economics, key risks, negotiation points, and recommended position. Due Diligence & Deal Execution: Coordinate financial, operational, legal, technical, and commercial diligence with internal teams, owners, advisors, and counterparties. Support opportunities from initial assessment through term sheet, contract execution, and handover to pre-opening or operations. Pipeline & Performance Support: Track the management agreement pipeline, including deal status, expected openings, fee potential, and key milestones. Review signed and operating deals against underwriting to improve future assumptions. Background & Experience Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Real Estate, Economics, or a related field.
