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.

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.

• 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
• Utilize technology to enhance commercial and performance reporting capabilities
• Lead and develop an existing team, increasing its size
• Manage external banking relationships and lead funding initiatives as the business grows
• Oversee budgeting, forecasting, and performance reporting activities
• As the business scales, lead strategic growth initiatives including outsourcing, operational structuring, and developing a team ready for growth

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

You need to be comfortable and excited by this dynamic 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 experience – this is not a reporting-only role
• Enthusiasm and passion for building a successful business

The role will be busy and offer lots of scope for personal development, including leading and implementing your own strategies.

Ideal for someone with the right industry experience.
