Job Description

Background: SoLa Impact is the largest private developer of affordable and workforce housing in Los Angeles, with plans to expand across California and eventually nationwide. We are looking to not only help alleviate, but to obliterate the obstacle of housing costs in our most marginalized communities. Having successfully raised and fully deployed its fourth fund ($300 million of equity), SoLa Impact expects to raise several $500+ million funds over the next 3-5 years from a combination of institutional investors, family offices, and high net worth investors.

In this role, the Analyst will build intricate financial models from the ground up, providing insights into complex deal structures and conducting thorough analyses of operating partner models. The Analyst’s expertise will also be applied to tracking, updating, and analyzing budgets, cash flows, and pro formas for our

current development projects. The role will have a strong responsibility to keep a watchful eye on economic, capital market, and real estate trends, actively contributing to the development of our investment and asset management strategies as well as any ad hoc analytical projects that the COO might assign.

SALARY: $80,000-$110,000 PER YEAR

Fund Raising/Capital Base: Since 2015, SoLa’s founders have personally raised over $500 million of equity from institutional investors and family offices. Our high-net-worth clients include senior partners from General Atlantic Partners, Oaktree, Bain Capital, Silver Lake, Goldman Sachs, Houlihan Lokey, Moelis & Company, and several other leading private equity firms and family offices. In Fund IV, SoLa Impact has added a growing list of institutional investors including CalSTRS, PayPal Holdings, Equitable Insurance, Standard Insurance, the Skoll Foundation, Ally Bank, Potenza Capital, and Pacific Premier Bank. SoLa Impact’s work and strategy have also been the subject of business school case studies from both USC’s Marshall School and Columbia Business School’s Masters of Real Estate program.
