Required experience

• Excellent financial modelling skills using MS Excel.
• Strong understanding of real estate debt/lending—ideally in development and bridging—gained from 2+ years' experience in a debt/credit fund, bank, or other real estate lending business.
• High attention to detail.
• Excellent team player.

Other information

• £60,000–£70,000 basic salary + a realistic year 1 bonus of 30–40%. Year 2 bonuses are typically 70–100%.
