The Analyst plays a critical role in driving financial performance across the portfolio by combining data-driven analysis, project management discipline, AI-enabled analytics, and team coordination. This role sits within the Operations team, directly supporting the Asset Management team. The Analyst will also work with key stakeholders, including various April Housing departments, executive leadership, and our Property Management Companies (PMCOs), to identify performance gaps, execute improvement initiatives, and track and report impact using scalable, repeatable reporting and automation.

This is a hands-on, execution-oriented role for someone who is comfortable moving between financial models, dashboards, operating details, and project workstreams, and who can translate analysis into action, including by using AI tools to accelerate recurring workstreams, improve data quality, and surface insights.

• Support oversight of PMCOs and third-party vendors through data analysis, reporting, and performance tracking
• Standardize reporting and performance expectations across regions, PMCOs, and external vendors
• Develop and maintain recurring performance reports and dashboards to support Asset Management decision-making, including implementing automation and AI-assisted workflows where appropriate
• Assist with benchmarking vendor performance and identifying opportunities for improvement or cost savings
• Evaluate performance of communities compared to original underwriting and identify opportunities for improvement
• Use AI tools to accelerate variance explanations, recurring commentary, and initial analyses while applying sound judgment and validating outputs against source data

Operational Performance and Strategic Support

• Identify underperforming assets and key drivers (occupancy, collections, expenses, turnover, maintenance, utilities, insurance, taxes) and partner with Asset Managers to develop asset-specific action plans and monitor progress
• Identify, track, and support initiatives designed to improve NOI across the portfolio including ancillary income programs, utility reduction efforts, and other revenue and cost reduction opportunities
• Serve as a liaison for cross-functional initiatives involving April Housing departments (Financial Planning and Analysis, Investments, Preservation, Compliance), PMCOs, and other external partners
• Identify gaps in data quality, reporting processes, and workflows, and leverage tools such as Excel, Power BI, AI, and portfolio systems to implement improvements that automate reporting and increase visibility (e.g., streamlining data pulls, standardizing inputs, and reducing manual rework)
• Perform special ad hoc projects on a frequent basis
• Apply responsible AI practices: protect confidential information, follow company guidance on tool usage, cite/retain source data, and validate outputs before sharing
