Description

A great buy-side opportunity to join a well capitalised, privately held alternative investment manager overseeing several billion dollars in assets, with a primary focus on real assets, including real estate and infrastructure, across the United States and Europe.

This role offers exposure to complex European transactions across residential, industrial/logistics, and selected retail assets, with the team executing institutional scale equity investments involving repositioning, leasing risk, capex programs, selective development exposure, and sophisticated structuring.

This is a true investing seat with immediate responsibility, direct access to senior investment professionals, and real influence over IC-level decisions. You will work end-to-end on deals, from first underwriting through execution and close.

 

Key Responsibilities

  • Analyse and evaluate new real estate investment opportunities across European markets and sectors
  • Build, own, and defend detailed financial models, including sensitivities, downside cases, debt structures, taxes, and joint-venture waterfalls
  • Prepare high-quality investment memoranda, IC materials, and decision-support analyses
  • Support transaction execution, including structuring, negotiation of commercial terms, and documentation
  • Contribute actively to thematic sourcing initiatives across logistics, residential, and related real asset strategies
  • Support the training and development of junior analysts
  • Work closely with asset management, finance, legal, and ESG teams during execution and post-acquisition
  • Engage with external advisors including lenders, lawyers, tax advisors, and technical consultants

 

What We’re Looking For

  • Minimum of four years of analytical experience in a real estate private equity firm, investment bank or comparable investment platform
  • Excellent financial modelling and transaction execution skills
  • Solid understanding of real estate fundamentals across multiple European markets
  • Comfortable taking ownership and defending investment views
  • Strong analytical capacity combined with sound commercial judgment
  • Resilient under pressure and able to adapt as facts evolve
  • Fluent English; additional European language (French, Spanish, German, Italian) a plus
  • Strong interest in using AI, technology, and automation to improve analysis and execution

 

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Front-line investing role, not a support or modelling seat
  • Meaningful responsibility from day one
  • Broad European exposure across markets and strategies
  • Clear path to developing real investment judgment
  • Platform with institutional capital and an entrepreneurial culture
