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 poised for substantial expansion 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 both 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-party service providers
• Implement a best-in-class finance function, including FP&A, financial reporting, and tax
• Leverage technology to enhance commercial and performance reporting capabilities
• Lead and develop an existing team, with plans to increase team size
• Manage all external banking relationships and lead funding initiatives as the business grows
• Oversee budgeting, forecasting, and performance reporting activities
• As the business scales, spearhead strategic growth initiatives, including outsourcing, operational structuring, and building a team suited for growth

This is a new opportunity, offering the chance to shape your own role. You should be comfortable with ambiguity and adaptable to a rapidly changing landscape as the business evolves.

You need to be comfortable and excited by this environment.

Essential Experience Needed:

• Demonstrable experience as a Finance Director
• Fully qualified accountant with proven experience in real estate fund management
• Ideally, experience in institutional credit
• A passion for leading and developing teams
• Experience in setting up new fund structures
• Strong operational and strategic finance expertise – this is not a reporting-only role
• Enthusiasm and passion for building a successful business
• Confidence balanced with humility

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

The role will be busy, with plenty of scope for personal development, and you will have the opportunity to lead and implement your own strategies.

It's an excellent role for someone with the right industry experience.
