• Support due diligence processes, coordinate third-party consultants, and help prepare investment memos
• Track market data, analyse tenant credit profiles, and support leasing/capex decisions on existing assets
• Prepare materials for IC, LP reporting, and valuations
• Assist with asset business plans, ESG initiatives, and operational oversight
• Engage with brokers, advisors, and JV partners to support origination

Requirements

• 4–8 years’ experience in real estate private equity, investment banking, or advisory
• Strong modeling and Excel skills; Argus familiarity a plus
• Exposure to commercial office transactions (preferably long-income/core-plus)
• Highly analytical, commercially aware, and comfortable presenting findings
• Fluent in English; European language skills and cross-border experience desirable
