We’re working exclusively with this well-established real estate investor who has recently secured significant funding, leading to substantial growth opportunities!

This role has been created as a direct result of this growth and offers an exciting chance to join a business poised for rapid expansion over the next 24 months and beyond.

• Utilize technology to enhance performance reporting and capabilities
• Lead and develop an existing team, increasing team size as needed
• Manage external banking relationships and oversee funding requirements as the business grows
• Oversee budgeting, forecasting, and performance reporting activities
• As the business scales, lead strategic growth initiatives such as outsourcing, operational structuring, and team development

This is a new opportunity that allows you to shape your role. It requires comfort with ambiguity and a dynamic environment that will evolve as the business grows.

You need to be comfortable and excited by this challenge.

Essential Experience Needed:

• Proven experience as a Finance Director
• Fully qualified accountant with experience in real estate fund management
• Ideally experience in institutional credit
• Strong leadership and team development skills
• Experience in setting up new fund structures
• Robust operational and strategic finance experience—this is not just reporting
• Passion for building a successful business
