About the Firm

Our client is a top-tier independent advisory boutique with a market-leading reputation for delivering complex, high-profile transactions. Known for its superb culture and close-knit, non-hierarchical environment, the firm offers direct access to senior leadership, hands-on deal experience, and accelerated career development.

The Role

We are seeking a Senior Analyst or Associate to join the Generalist M&A team with a strong focus on real estate transactions. While a substantial portion of your work will involve advising REITs, developers, and institutional investors on acquisitions, disposals, capital raisings, and joint ventures, you will also gain exposure to deals across infrastructure, consumer, and industrials.

This role offers the opportunity to work on landmark transactions while developing a broad sector skillset in a supportive, high-performing team.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and review detailed financial modelling and valuation analysis, particularly for real estate assets, portfolios, and developments, alongside general corporate models.
• Take ownership of significant workstreams in M&A and capital advisory transactions from origination to execution.
• Conduct in-depth asset, company, and market research across multiple sectors.
• Prepare and present client-ready materials including pitch books, investment papers, and strategic recommendations.
• Mentor junior team members and contribute to the firm’s collaborative culture.

About You

• 3–6 years’ experience in investment banking, real estate investment, corporate finance, or Big 4 transaction advisory, with strong exposure to M&A.
• Advanced financial modelling and valuation skills, including real estate feasibility and cashflow analysis.
• Confident in managing workstreams and interacting directly with clients and senior stakeholders.
• Commercial, detail-oriented, and a strong team player who thrives in a collaborative environment.

Why This Role?

• Significant exposure to high-profile real estate deals while maintaining a generalist M&A portfolio.
• Direct access to senior decision-makers and accelerated career progression in a merit-based environment.
• Join a firm with a truly superb culture that values teamwork, professional development, and long-term career growth.
