Investment & Development Associate
We are working with a well-capitalised, vertically integrated build-to-rent business to appoint an Investment & Development Associate.
The business invests in, develops, operates and asset manages its own residential communities. It has an established national portfolio, an active acquisitions strategy and significant capital ready to deploy.
This is a key hire within a lean, senior team. You'll play a central role in growing the pipeline and shaping where the business commits capital next.
The Role
You'll lead new BTR opportunities from first look through to acquisition:
- Sourcing and screening sites through agents, landowners, developers and funding partners
- Building and owning development appraisals and cash-flow models, including sensitivity and returns analysis
- Assessing feasibility across planning, design capacity, cost, rental levels and operational fit
- Preparing investment committee papers and presenting recommendations to senior leadership
- Negotiating heads of terms and leading due diligence through to exchange
- Structuring direct acquisitions, JVs and forward-funding or forward-commitment deals
- Working closely with the development and operations teams so schemes deliver to the business plan
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
About You
- Experience in residential investment or development, ideally BTR, PBSA, co-living or large-scale residential
- Strong financial modelling skills (Argus Developer and Excel)

- Commercial judgement and confidence building relationships with agents, landowners and capital partners
- A developer or investor-side background, or an agency or consultancy background and a wish to move client-side
- A degree in real estate, finance or a related discipline; MRICS is a plus
