Your Opportunity

Scion is paving a path in student living and we’re seeking a talented Senior Financial Analyst to join us in executing our vision. We seek a dynamic and analytical individual to join our Advisory Services team, focusing on financial modeling for student housing projects. This role requires expertise in developing and analyzing financial models, with an emphasis on structuring and evaluating Public-Private Partnerships (P3s) and higher education institutions’ housing or auxiliary financial models. Familiarity with real estate transactions is highly preferred.

We’re seeking a strategic leader who excels in a fast-paced, agile, corporate environment. This role demands principled thinking, well-honed communication skills, a stubborn refusal to settle, and an appreciation of bold innovation.

  3. Project Pro Formas: Review and critique developer pro formas to ensure accurate projection of costs, revenues, and returns. Identify potential risks and opportunities for improvement and optimization within the pro forma structure.
  4. Transaction Structuring: Develop, analyze, and recommend transaction structures for student housing projects, focusing on P3s and other financing methods. Collaborate with clients and stakeholders to structure deals that balance institutional goals, financial viability, and risk mitigation. Relationships with capital markets is a plus.

  2. Report Preparation and Presentation: Prepare detailed reports and presentations that outline transaction structures, financial models, and recommendations. Present findings and recommendations to clients, senior management, and other stakeholders.
  3. Collaboration and Support: Work closely with senior consultants and project managers to support project delivery and ensure client satisfaction.

The responsibilities listed above may not be all inclusive.
