Whether you've got deep experience in commercial real estate, skilled trades or technology, or you're looking to apply your relevant experience to a new industry, join our team as we help shape a brighter way forward. Senior Analyst, Sports & Entertainment What this job involves: Join JLL's Sports & Entertainment Development Advisory practice as a Senior Analyst, where you'll be the analytical engine behind some of the most consequential venue and mixed-use development decisions in professional sports. Our team advises teams, leagues, owners, and public authorities across MLB, NFL, NHL, WNBA, MiLB, and collegiate athletics — from billion-dollar mixed-use districts anchored by a ballpark, to arena site selection, to the public-financing and feasibility cases that get projects approved and built. In this role you'll own financial models, site analyses, and client-ready materials end-to-end, working directly with the Managing Director and engagement leads on deliverables that go in front of ownership- and league-level decision-makers. Operating in a lean, senior, high-visibility team, you'll carry multiple concurrent engagements with limited oversight, help shape the analytical approach on new pursuits, and serve as a resource to junior team members. This is an exceptional platform to deepen your expertise across the full development lifecycle — underwriting, site selection, economic impact, public finance, and deal execution — while advancing within JLL's global platform and contributing to projects that reshape skylines and communities. What your day-to-day will look like: Own development pro formas, feasibility models, and cash-flow analyses end-to-end for stadiums, arenas, and surrounding mixed-use development Lead valuations and broker opinions of value using income/cap-rate, comparable-sale, and comparable-lease approaches, incorporating stacking plans and market data Construct economic- and fiscal-impact models — direct, indirect, and induced multipliers; tax-revenue and incentive analysis — to support public-financing and legislative cases Direct site sourcing, screening, and analysis using CoStar, parcel records, and county assessor data, and build defensible site inventories Produce site footprints, parcel-ownership research, and thematic maps in ArcGIS / ArcGIS Online, reconciling acreage, zoning, floodplain, traffic, and incentive-district overlays into a single dataset per site Build and quality-control client-ready presentations — site shortlists, feasibility summaries, pitch and pursuit decks, and board materials Draft, issue, and coordinate RFPs and RFQs (engineering, master planning, design) and manage responses through selection Assemble and defend comparable-transaction and comparable-venue benchmarking sets and the underlying methodology Synthesize public deal documents — leases, non-relocation agreements, development agreements, bond official statements — into usable facts and figures Conduct market, demographic, and demand research and monitor stadium/arena deal terms, public-financing structures, and league developments Support new-business pursuits and serve as a resource to junior analysts on modeling and GIS workflows
