Job Description:

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 opportunity to join a business poised for rapid 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 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 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, including outsourcing, operational structuring, and team development for a 'fit for growth' organization

This is a new opportunity that allows you to shape your own role. You should be comfortable with ambiguity and adaptable to change as the business evolves.

You need to be enthusiastic and excited by such challenges.

Essential Experience Needed:

• Proven experience as a Finance Director
• Fully qualified accountant with expertise in real estate fund management
• Ideally, experience in institutional credit
• Strong leadership and team development skills
• Experience in establishing new fund structures
• Solid operational and strategic finance background – this is not solely a reporting role
• Passion for building a successful business
• Confidence balanced with humility

This is a fantastic opportunity to work with a superb leadership team in a dynamic environment, offering scope for personal growth and strategic influence.

It’s an ideal role for someone with the right industry experience seeking a challenging and rewarding position.
