ABOUT THE ROLE
New Story creates market-based solutions to make land and home ownership possible for underserved families in Latin America. Through an innovative land-first approach, we transform unutilized land into thriving communities, reducing development timelines from 10+ years to 2 years.

As an Investment Analyst, you will join a fast-moving, high-performing team to support origination, evaluation, and monitoring of mission-aligned investments, reporting to the Investment Associate and collaborating with the Director of Investments. You will be responsible for financial modeling, market analysis, due diligence, and portfolio monitoring, and for supporting materials for investment committees and investors. You will work closely with team leads in Mexico City and the U.S.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Financial modeling: Build and maintain models (P&L, Cash Flow, Balance Sheet, valuation, scenarios, hedging) for affordable housing/land development projects.

• Underwriting & due diligence support: Assist senior team members with underwriting new fund investments and executing financial/commercial/technical diligence; synthesize findings into a strong investment case.

• Portfolio monitoring: Track operating and financial KPIs; prepare dashboards, variance analyses vs. plan, and value-creation proposals.

• Investment materials: Draft investment memoranda, executive presentations, and quarterly/annual investor updates.

• Market research: Analyze supply–demand, pricing, absorption, local regulations, costs, and LATAM trends; develop sector theses and comps.

• Process & data discipline: Improve templates, workflows, and controls (assumption versioning, data lineage, DD checklists, data rooms).

• Industry knowledge & network: Deepen sector knowledge and relationships to inform strategy and enhance diligence.

WHO YOU ARE

• 1–3 years of relevant experience in real estate, venture capital/private equity, investment banking, corporate/project finance, credit or impact investing.

• Exceptional real estate financial modeling and/or real-estate investment experience, including underwriting, land/project feasibility, pro-forma analysis, and sensitivities — experience in affordable housing or land development in Mexico is a strong plus.

• Strong financial modeling capabilities in Excel/Google Sheets (pivot tables, audit trails, scenarios, and sensitivity analysis).

• Solid understanding of financial statements, accounting, valuation methodologies, and capital structuring.

• Ability to translate complex financial and operational insights into executive-ready presentations and memos.

• Bilingual English–Spanish (written and spoken), able to work effectively with international investors and local partners.

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Engineering, Business/Accounting, International Development, or related field; or equivalent experience with proven results.

Unlimited Vacation after the 1st Year. We believe you should have a flexible schedule that makes space for family, wellness, and fun. For the first 12 months, you'll have 12 days of PTO, 14 paid holidays, and YOUR birthday off. After year one, you can enjoy an unlimited vacation policy. This time off is paid at the regular base rate of pay.

Summer and Winter Breaks. We believe rest is critical to getting results. We intentionally pause as a whole company twice per year. Team members enjoy the first week of July and the week between December 24 and January 1.

5-Week Sabbatical after 5th Year. At the 5-year mark, we celebrate your hard work and dedication with a sabbatical. Team members take 5 weeks off fully paid to rest, recharge, and reflect.

Intentional Gatherings. As a remote team, we recognize how valuable and rejuvenating in-person time can be. Whether it’s an all-company Team Summit, Fun Camp for fundraisers, or spontaneous department gatherings, we set aside budget to gather in-person to have fun, reflect, and plan together.

Improve Thru Learning. We believe in always learning and leveling up our skills. Whether it's paying for a conference, an online course, or books, an internal Hackathon, a Tea(m) Talk, or a lunch and learn, we invest in each team member so they can be the best at their craft.

Trips to the Field. It’s amazing to meet the families we help and see the homes up close and personal. You'll get to visit the work first hand in either Mexico or El Salvador. Prioritization will vary by role.
