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 chance 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 both financial and operational perspectives.

• 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-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, with plans to increase team size
• Manage all external banking relationships and oversee funding requirements as the business expands
• Oversee budgeting, forecasting, and performance reporting activities
• As the business scales, lead strategic growth initiatives, including outsourcing, operational structuring, and team development

This is a new opportunity, offering the chance to shape your role within a growing organization. You should be comfortable with ambiguity and adaptable to change as the business evolves.

You need to be enthusiastic about this challenge.

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 setting up new fund structures
• Robust operational and strategic finance experience – this is not a reporting-only 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 background looking to make a significant impact.
