About the Role
Our client is a leading European real estate investment manager. They are now hiring an Associate into the portfolio management function of its debt and value-add strategies platform.
The platform invests fund capital across real estate debt and value-add equity throughout Europe. It is one of the more established alternative lenders in the market, with a multi-billion euro track record across whole loans, senior and mezzanine strategies. The business continues to launch new vehicles and strategies alongside its existing funds.
The Team
You'd join a small, high-visibility portfolio and loan asset management team that sits across every investment on the platform. It's a broad seat — genuinely front-to-back exposure to fund performance, investor relations, and strategic projects, rather than a narrow reporting role.
