A great buy-side opportunity to join a well-capitalised, private equity real estate firm 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
