Job description

Director, Debt Advisory

London, POA + Bonus

Our client, an award winning debt advisory boutique located in Central London are looking to recruit an experienced, commercially minded Director with a proven ability to originate and execute transactions, someone with strong lender relationships and a network of clients and who can generate new business.

The firm are particularly interested in hiring someone entrepreneurial, ambitious and relationship-driven who would thrive in a boutique, highly experienced and collaborative team.

Unlike many larger advisory firms, they offer considerable autonomy, direct involvement with the founders and the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the growth and direction of the business.

Cultural fit and origination capability are important as well as technical expertise.

We are looking for someone who understands the importance of building and maintaining long-term client relationships, takes ownership of their work and can contribute positively to the wider team.

This is not simply an execution role, and we are not looking for someone who is solely reliant on transactions generated by others. The right individual will have the drive, personality and commercial judgement to develop new business whilst also working collaboratively across our existing client base.

Responsibilities

• Originate and secure new debt advisory mandates.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with institutional investors, private equity funds, family offices and other capital providers.
• Develop relationships with credible operating and development partners.
• Lead transactions from initial mandate through to completion, with analyst and wider team support.
• Prepare and review investor presentations/information memorandums, financial models and transaction materials.
• Manage investor engagement, due diligence, term sheet negotiation and execution.
• Maintain a detailed understanding of investor appetite, return requirements and preferred structures.
• Identify opportunities for both mandates across your own network.
• Build strong relationships with lawyers, valuers, agents and other industry professionals.
• Represent the business at relevant industry and networking events.

The successful candidate is likely to have:

• A strong track record in real estate debt capital raising and/or investment.
• An established network of investors and operating partners.
• Experience structuring complex transactions.
• Experience leading transactions from origination through to completion, either as an adviser or principal.
• Strong commercial and financial skills, including the ability to review financial models and investment returns.
• Experience dealing with institutional investors, private equity and/or family offices.
• Excellent communication, negotiation and relationship-management skills.
• A commercial, entrepreneurial and collegiate approach.
• The ability to work effectively within an ambitious, close-knit team.

In return for your time, input, and experience you will receive a competitive & generous base salary and bonus package.
