We’re working exclusively with a well-established Real Estate investor who has recently secured significant funding, making growth a top priority!

This role has been created as a direct result of this growth and presents an exciting opportunity 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 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
• 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 oversee funding requirements as the business grows
• Oversee budgeting, forecasting, and performance reporting activities
• As the business scales, lead strategic growth initiatives such as outsourcing, operational structuring, and developing a team suited for growth

This is a new opportunity, offering the chance to shape your own role. You should be comfortable with ambiguity and adaptable to a changing landscape as the business evolves.

You need to be comfortable and excited by this.

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
• Confidence without arrogance

This truly is a brilliant opportunity within a fantastic business, working alongside 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 ideal role for someone with the right industry experience.
