We’re working exclusively with a well-established Real Estate investor who has recently secured significant funding, making growth a top priority!

This role has been created as a direct result of this growth and offers an exciting opportunity to join a business expected to expand rapidly over the next 24 months and beyond.

You’ll need experience in property / real estate investment funds, as we require someone to establish several new fund structures from a financial and operational perspective.

• Partner with the MD and CEO to establish several new institutional funds
• Lead the structuring of these funds and appoint appropriate third parties
• Implement a best-in-practice finance function, including FP&A, financial reporting, and tax
• Utilize technology to enhance commercial and performance reporting capabilities
• Lead and develop an existing team, increasing team size
• Manage all external banking relationships and lead 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 developing a team 'fit for growth'

This is a new opportunity, offering the chance to build a role for yourself. You should be comfortable with ambiguity and a landscape that will evolve as the business develops.

You need to be enthusiastic and excited about this.

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
• Strong operational and strategic finance experience – this is not a reporting role
• Passion for building an exceptional business
• Confidence balanced with humility

This is a fantastic opportunity to work with a superb leadership team in a dynamic environment.

The role is busy and offers lots of scope for personal development, including leading and implementing your own strategies.

It’s an ideal role for someone with the right industry experience.
