• Collaborate closely with global and regional functional teams (legal, tax, asset management).
• Asset Management Oversight
• Support strategic initiatives for existing and new assets, driving operational performance and value enhancement.
• Partner with local operators and asset managers to oversee implementation of business plans.
• Strategic Development
• Help define and execute the investment strategy for Italy within the broader pan-European mandate.
• Provide input on sector-level trends and entry/exit timing.

Candidate Requirements

We are looking for candidates who bring:

• 8–12 years’ experience in real estate private equity; prior investment banking (RE coverage) is a plus.
• Demonstrable transaction track record across Italy, ideally including logistics, residential, or office investments.
• Deep knowledge of the Italian real estate ecosystem, with fluency in Italian and English.
• Strong modelling, analytical and negotiation skills, with end-to-end deal execution experience.
