Jobbeschreibung

Managing Director

Berlin (preferred)

This Berlin-based real estate investment firm has over 30 years of experience in acquiring, repositioning, and managing commercial and mixed-use assets across Germany. With a proven track record in identifying high-upside, value-add opportunities, the firm focuses on under-utilised or distressed real estate across Germany—locations with strong fundamentals such as public transport links and urban regeneration potential.

The current portfolio spans more than 170,000 square meters with a conservative financial profile (under 30% LTV) and substantial growth capacity. Operating as a privately-owned family business, free of institutional capital, the firm benefits from fast, independent decision-making. It has recently completed notable redevelopment projects in Berlin, Leipzig, and Hanover, and is now looking to scale operations through both asset acquisitions and strategic corporate investments.

The company is seeking a commercially driven Managing Director to lead the next phase of growth. This is a senior leadership role, responsible for sourcing, structuring, and executing high-upside transactions—including direct property deals and company-level acquisitions.

• German and English fluency required
