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 funding, offering an exciting chance to join a rapidly expanding business over the next 24 months and beyond.

You’ll need experience in property / real estate investment funds, as you will be responsible for establishing 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-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 its size
• Manage all external banking relationships and lead funding initiatives as the business scales
• Oversee budgeting, forecasting, and performance reporting activities
• Drive strategic growth initiatives, including outsourcing, operational structuring, and team development for scalability

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 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
• Passionate about leading and developing teams
• Experience in setting up new fund structures
• Strong operational and strategic finance skills—this is not a reporting-only role
• Enthusiastic about building a successful business
• Confident without arrogance

This is a fantastic opportunity to work with a superb leadership team in a dynamic environment. The role offers scope for personal development and strategic input.

Ideal for someone with industry experience seeking a challenging and rewarding leadership position.
