2026 NextGen Summer Internship - Leasing - Los Angeles
Description
At Hudson Pacific Properties, we provide best-in-class office space to the biggest names in tech and media. Through our paid NextGen Internship Program, we are seeking a Leasing Intern to join our team for 10 weeks and gain valuable real-world experience by working in-person at Hudson Pacific Properties’ headquarters in Los Angeles. As an integral member of the Leasing team, you will contribute to day-to-day operations, assist with special projects, and collaborate with cross-functional partners to gain exposure to the inner workings of the company.
Are you looking to enhance your learning journey and development with a thriving, forward-thinking company? Join us this summer!
*If you are interested in multiple internships, please submit a separate application for each position.
What You'll Do
• Support the Leasing team with day-to-day operations and assist with ongoing departmental projects, such as.
- Deal underwriting: Partner with regional leasing Directors to run Net Effective Rent (NER) analyses comparing in-negotiation deal terms to budgeted assumptions. Interns will provide guidance on how to adjust proposals to meet underwriting goals, building a strong foundation in financial analysis and decision-making.
- Transaction documentation: Assist in drafting Transaction Approval Summary (TAS) packets for executed deals. This includes learning how to read leases, abstract key economic and non-economic terms, and preparing materials for executive review and approval.
- Leasing reporting & data management: Contribute to weekly, monthly, and quarterly leasing reporting packages by aggregating, validating, and summarizing multiple large data sets. Interns develop strong Excel and workflow management skills while operating against fixed deadlines.
- Annual leasing budget process: Support the team in preparing several Excel-intensive budgeting reports. Interns gain exposure to high-volume data processing and detailed financial planning.
- Quarterly earnings preparation: Aggregate, analyze, and summarize third-party market reports (Costar, CBRE, JLL, etc.) to support the company’s earnings preparation process. Interns learn how public companies evaluate market data and prepare materials used by senior leadership.
- Annual “deep dive” project: Conduct interviews with all 10 leasing Directors/VPs and 3 SVPs/EVP to understand their roles, submarkets, and career paths. Interns identify one meaningful “pain point” in the leasing process, research potential solutions, and implement an improvement. This teaches project management, problem-solving, and communication with senior stakeholders.
• Collaborate with the full leasing team across all regions (Vancouver, Seattle, Bay Area, Los Angeles) and cross-functionally with Accounting, Financial Planning & Analysis, Operations, Construction, Investments, and Investor Relations.
• The intern will develop skills in:
- Underwriting & financial analysis: NER, IRR, DCF, NPV, payback/breakeven analysis, and deal comparison modeling.
- Lease comprehension: How to read, abstract, and summarize proposals, LOIs, and executed leases into executive-ready summaries.
- Time management, prioritization, synthesizing large data sets, balancing recurring reporting deadlines with urgent ad-hoc requests, and communicating insights to senior stakeholders.
• The intern will gain exposure to the following tools, systems, and workflows:
- Microsoft Excel (advanced functions), Power Query, Alteryx Designer
- Yardi Voyager & Yardi Deal Manager
- Argus Enterprise
- Costar & third-party market research workflows
• Complete a final Summer Showcase presentation outlining what you’ve learned and worked on during your internship and present to fellow interns and team members.
