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 rapidly expanding business over the next 24 months and beyond.

You’ll need experience in property/real estate investment funds, as we need 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
• Utilize 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
• Lead strategic growth initiatives, including outsourcing, operational structuring, and team development for scaling

This is a new opportunity that allows you to shape your role. It requires comfort with ambiguity and adaptability as the business evolves.

You need to be comfortable and excited by this challenge.

Essential Experience Needed:

• Proven experience as a Finance Director
• Fully qualified accountant with experience in real estate fund management
• Ideally experience in institutional credit
• Strong leadership and team development skills
• Experience setting up new fund structures
• Operational and strategic finance expertise—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 talented leadership team in a dynamic environment. The role offers scope for personal growth and the chance to implement your own strategies.

Ideal for someone with the right industry experience looking for a challenging and rewarding position.
