Job Summary
We are seeking a highly experienced Strategic Advisor specializing in Property Condition Assessments (PCAs) and post-acquisition capital planning to guide the development of a recent premium offering on Inspectli’s AI-driven platform. In this advisory role, you will not be conducting site assessments or writing reports. Instead, you will act as the bridge between real-world industry practice and our product and engineering teams. Your insights will help us validate whether feature ideas solve a real problem and shape how it is built, priced, and trusted by commercial lenders, buyers, and engineering firms.
Responsibilities
- Pressure-test concepts
- Walk us through what actually happens after a PCA is delivered
- Review and critique our automated outputs, including priority tiers, repair sequencing, capex budgets and escrow/reserve schedules, against the expectations of lenders and owners.
- Provide the lender’s perspective
- Flag independence, liability and ASTM E2018 concerns that could stop lenders or PCA firms from relying on or offering this product.
- Where comfortable, introduce us to lenders, buyers, asset managers and contractors in your network for validation interviews.
Requirements
- Experience: 7 to 10+ years in commercial real estate due diligence or capital planning, specifically conducting, reviewing or acting on PCAs.
- Domain expertise: Deep,
practical knowledge of ASTM E2018, immediate repair and replacement reserve tables, and how PCA findings flow into deal negotiations and loan terms.
- Transaction exposure: Hands-on familiarity with what happens after the report.
- Tech-curious: You do not need to write code, but you should be interested in AI and automation and curious about how they can improve the due diligence and capital planning process.
- Communication: You can collaborate remotely and translate building condition and cost concepts into clear guidance for software engineers.
- Background (highly preferred): current or previous experience in one of these roles:
- Senior PCA consultant or PCA program director at an engineering firm
- Construction risk or technical reviewer at a commercial lender or loan servicer
- Director of asset management or capital projects at a multifamily or commercial owner
- Cost estimator or owner’s representative
- Location: Experience in Texas, Tennessee or Florida markets is a strong plus.
