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 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 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
• 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 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 that allows you to shape your role. It requires comfort with ambiguity and a dynamic environment that will evolve as the business expands.

You need to be comfortable and excited by this.

Essential Experience Needed:

• Proven experience as a Finance Director
• Fully qualified accountant with extensive experience in real estate fund management
• Ideally, experience in institutional credit
• Strong leadership and team development skills
• Experience in establishing new fund structures
• Robust 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 superb leadership team in a thriving business.

The role is demanding but offers significant scope for personal development, leadership, and strategic implementation.

Ideal for someone with the right industry experience.
