We’re working exclusively with this well-established Real Estate investor who has recently taken on significant funding, so growth is very much the priority!

This role has been created as a direct result of this growth and presents an amazing opportunity to join a business that is expected to expand vastly 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
• Leverage technology to enhance commercial and performance reporting capabilities
• Lead and develop an existing team, increasing team size as needed
• Manage all 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 suited for growth

This is a new opportunity, allowing you to build a role for yourself. You should be comfortable with ambiguity and a landscape that is likely to change frequently as the business develops.

You need to be comfortable and excited by this challenge.

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 genuine enthusiasm for leading and developing a team
• Experience in setting up new fund structures
• Strong operational and strategic finance experience – this is not a reporting role
• Enthusiasm and passion for building an exceptional business
• Confidence without arrogance

This is a fantastic opportunity within a great business, working with a superb leadership team.

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

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