Arena is a global investment management firm that seeks to generate attractive risk adjusted, consistent and uncorrelated returns by employing a fundamentals based, asset-oriented financing and investing strategy across the entire credit spectrum in areas where conventional sources of capital are scarce.

Arena is looking to expand the Real Estate team, through the addition of an Operations Analyst. In this role, this individual will act as the intermediary between all parties, both internal and external, in closing a transaction. This individual will communicate with internal compliance, internal operations, counterparties, banks, attorneys, and other vendors to answer questions and resolve any issues at closing and future funding. On the days leading up to and on the day of closing, this individual will interact with all parties to resolve any problems.
