Job description

About the opportunity:

Northspyre sits on one of the largest, most unique datasets in real estate development-covering budgets, costs, contracts, invoices, and change orders across thousands of active projects. We're building a market intelligence engine that turns this data into insights developers, owners, and CFOs trust.

This role is a rare hybrid of data analysis and journalism. You'll uncover trends in messy, real-world data, shape clear narratives, and publish authoritative content that positions Northspyre as the source of truth for development intelligence.

This role blends analytical rigor with editorial judgment, curiosity, and storytelling. Hustle, curiosity, and editorial judgment matter as much as analytical rigor.

In this role you get to:

  • Own the creation of two major, long-form data reports per quarter, each with a clear storyline, strong analysis, and point of view.
  • Explore large datasets to uncover meaningful trends, anomalies, and signals.
  • Clean and normalize unstructured data using SQL, Excel, and statistical techniques.
  • Write thoughtful, insight-driven content for a senior real estate audience.
  • Act as a journalist: proactively source perspectives through outreach and interviews to complement the data.
  • Host webinars tied to major reports, presenting findings and engaging with industry audiences.
  • Partner with brand and design to translate core insights into short-form content and presentations.

We are looking for people who have:

  • Fluency in real estate development, economics, or adjacent domains
  • Strong long-form writing ability and proven editorial judgment.
  • Experience working hands-on with data, including cleaning and validating complex datasets.
  • SQL experience (Snowflake preferred) and advanced Excel skills.
  • The ability to turn analysis into a compelling narrative, not just charts.
  • A self-starter mindset-you generate ideas, pursue sources, and move work forward independently.
  • Intellectual curiosity and critical thinking; you can separate signal from noise.
  • Comfort conducting outreach, interviews, and follow-ups.

Bonus points if you have:

  • Published market or industry reports that have been widely shared or cited.
  • Experience in real estate, land economics, development economics, or CRE research.
  • Webinar hosting, live presenting, or panel moderation experience.
  • Background in journalism, equity research, or brokerage/consulting research.
  • Familiarity with statistical analysis beyond basic descriptive metrics.
