Business Development Analyst

COMPANY DESCRIPTION

Impact Housing (IH) is a vertically integrated modular design-builder and developer headquartered in Southern California. 

Our mission is to continuously evolve the world’s most sophisticated and efficient housing delivery system. We pursue this mission by reimagining every element of how multifamily projects are designed, manufactured, and built—driving down costs, shortening schedules, and expanding access to high-quality housing for the people who need it most, whether through LIHTC or unsubsidized projects.

To date this decade, the IH team has built or is actively developing close to 1,500 modular units demonstrating a scalable, repeatable path to affordability. With the capability to produce approximately 1,000 units per year today, IH is expanding to meet growing demand in San Diego, Los Angeles, and beyond.

We are now entering the next stage of our growth and strengthening every team across the company to achieve our next set of goals. We plan to manufacture and build more than 10,000 units through 2030. To accomplish this, we are implementing the Lean Standard Model company-wide; deploying AI at every level of the company; and positioning IH as a national thought leader in modular development.

The foundation for our success is firmly in place. Join us as we scale our operations, transition into a higher-capacity manufacturing facility powered by smart automation and robotics, expand our production capacity by more than 3x in the Western U.S., and prepare for future national growth.

POSITION SUMMARY

The Business Development Analyst is the junior analytical seat supporting Impact Housing’s business development and asset management work. The position produces the research, screening, comparison analysis and proposal materials that the senior team relies on to pursue and win third-party projects.

This is a support role by design. Any outreach the Analyst performs is in support of the Senior Manager’s efforts rather than independent origination, and the position carries no commission. It is structured as a development seat: a capable analyst is expected to progress toward a senior origination or asset management role over time.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Conduct pipeline and market research — identifying prospective developer and general contractor targets, tracking CTCAC, CDLAC and HCD funding rounds and awards, and monitoring competitor and submarket activity.
• Screen prospective deals with preliminary unit count, cost per square foot and feasibility comparisons against Impact Housing’s product line and manufacturing criteria.
• Assemble and format proposal and pitch materials, including project plan proposals, benchmark cost proposals, teaser decks and one-pagers.
• Maintain the LIHTC deal database and the conference tracking database, keeping both current and usable.
• Maintain CRM data integrity in HubSpot — records, dashboards and activity reporting.
• Support asset management reporting as needed, including the multi-property reporting workbook and periodic reporting packages.
• Prepare background research and briefing notes ahead of client and partner meetings.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Build and enrich prospect and target research lists.
• Update and extend comparison and screening spreadsheets.
• Assemble, format and proof proposal decks, one-pagers and meeting materials.
• Update HubSpot records, dashboards and weekly activity reports.
• Track funding application deadlines and award announcements and flag those that affect outreach timing.
• Prepare briefing notes on counterparties ahead of scheduled meetings.
• Pull and organize supporting data for the Senior Manager’s reporting and presentations.
