Job description

Madison Berkeley is excited to be partnering with one of the world's largest publicly listed real estate investors to appoint an Analyst or Senior Analyst into its rapidly expanding UK Asset Management team.

Following a series of transformational acquisitions and continued capital deployment, the business has built one of the UK's largest operational real estate platforms and is investing heavily in growing its UK team. With multiple recent senior hires already made and further expansion planned, this is an exceptional opportunity to join a high-performing team at an early stage of its growth journey.

This is a genuinely commercial role. You'll work directly with senior stakeholders, influence business plans and help drive value across a multi-billion-pound portfolio where analytical thinking translates into real commercial outcomes.

The Opportunity

Working alongside an experienced leadership team, you'll support the performance of a nationally significant operational real estate portfolio managed through specialist operating partners.

You'll combine detailed financial analysis with hands-on asset management, helping shape strategies that improve operating performance, drive revenue growth and enhance long-term asset value.

Responsibilities include:

• Building ad hoc cash flow models from scratch and analysing complex operating businesses.
• Reviewing monthly financial and operational performance to identify trends, risks and opportunities.
• Supporting asset-level business plans and value creation initiatives.
• Working closely with operating partners to improve commercial performance.
• Analysing pricing, occupancy, revenue and operational KPIs.
• Supporting investment reporting and strategic portfolio decisions.
• Contributing to asset enhancement and capital expenditure initiatives.

Who We're Looking For

We're interested in ambitious Analysts with 1 to 2.5 years' experience and Senior Analysts with 3 to 4 years' experience, although the quality of your exposure matters far more than your exact tenure.

We're deliberately open on sector background. While operational real estate experience is valuable, strong candidates can come from a variety of environments including:

• Hotels
• Retail
• Student Accommodation
• Build-to-Rent
• Capital Markets
• Real Estate Investment Banking
• Private Equity
• Investment teams with strong financial modelling exposure

What Success Looks Like

Technical excellence is the first filter.

You’ll need to demonstrate:

• Outstanding Excel and financial modelling skills.
• The ability to build complex cash flow models from first principles.
• Commercial curiosity and confidence interrogating performance data.
• Strong communication skills with senior stakeholders.
• The ability to evidence how you’ve personally created value, not just the results, but how you achieved them.

The team values people who challenge assumptions, identify opportunities others miss and take ownership of improving performance.

The Culture

The Asset Management team is being built around collaborative, intellectually curious people who combine high IQ with high EQ.

The environment is fast-paced and entrepreneurial, with a mindset that feels closer to private equity than traditional institutional asset management. Initiative is actively rewarded, and junior team members are expected to contribute meaningful commercial ideas from an early stage.
