Investment Manager | Living Sector
A privately owned real estate investment and development platform is looking to appoint an Investment Manager to join its team. With a proven track record across c.£1bn of development value, the business has invested in, funded and delivered complex projects across London and the South East. Entrepreneurial and well-capitalised, it focuses on planning-led acquisitions, joint ventures and forward funding structures, with an active pipeline across the living sector and mixed-use opportunities.
The role offers broad exposure across the full investment lifecycle, from origination and underwriting through to delivery and disposal. Working closely with senior decision makers, you'll play a key role in evaluating new opportunities, structuring transactions and supporting developments through each stage of the investment process.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
