Role Overview

The Securitized Products Group (SPG) is seeking a highly talented and motivated CMBS-focused trading desk strategist / analyst.

They will be expected to demonstrate a thorough, detail-oriented approach to commercial real estate and CMBS fundamentals, with the ability to proactively identify actionable trading and investment opportunities. A strong track record of partnering with traders and other desk stakeholders to deliver practical, business-driven solutions is essential.

The role is focused on CMBS, and candidates should have meaningful hands-on experience analyzing commercial real estate collateral and CMBS structures. Previous exposure to other products is acceptable, provided CMBS is the primary focus of their current or recent role.

    • Property-level cash flow analysis (NOI, NCF)

    • Cap rates, yield metrics, leverage and debt service ratios

    • Rent rolls, vacancy analysis, tenant quality

    • Comparables and market-level analysis across major CRE sectors (office, retail, industrial, hotel, etc.)

  • Familiarity with CMBS products and indices, including CMBX

  • Exposure to CMBS data and analytics platforms, ideally Intex and at least one of Trepp or CoStar

  • Ability to generate and articulate investment ideas and relative value views, both internally and externally

  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to translate complex analysis into clear, actionable insights

  • High degree of self-motivation and ownership mindset

Skills Desired

  • Advanced degree (e.g., MS, MFE, MBA) in a related discipline

  • Working knowledge of Python, or alternatively strong proficiency in Excel/VBA, for data analysis and automation

  • Experience working with large datasets and performing ad-hoc analytical work

  • Familiarity with SQL or other database tools

  • Experience contributing to valuation models, scenario analysis, or stress testing frameworks

Nice to Have

  • Experience reviewing or analyzing CMBS deal documentation

  • Understanding of regulatory or stress-testing frameworks relevant to structured products

  • Working knowledge of Q/KDB
