Non-Executive Director — Newly Launching REIT | Confidential Search | London
Ramsey Portia is retained on a confidential search for a Non-Executive Director to join the founding board of a new REIT, ahead of launch in Q4. The vehicle is backed by an established institutional sponsor with a substantial real estate investment platform.
The opportunity
A genuine build-from-scratch board mandate. Governance architecture, committee structure and the investor narrative are being shaped now rather than inherited. The incoming NED will be part of that from the outset and will carry real weight with the executive team through launch and the first reporting cycles.
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.
What you'll do
- Provide independent challenge on strategy, capital allocation and risk
- Take a committee role appropriate to your background — committee composition is being settled alongside the board appointments
- Oversee compliance with the UK REIT regime, the applicable UK governance code and Listing Rules
- Support investor confidence through launch and into steady-state reporting
Who we're looking for
- Board experience with a listed or regulated investment vehicle — REIT, investment trust or closed-ended fund
- Deep credibility in either real estate investment or investment trusts
- Recent and relevant financial experience advantageous, particularly for candidates open to an Audit Committee role
- Experience through an IPO, admission or fund launch preferred but not essential
- Genuinely independent, with real capacity to commit
