Real-Estate Advisory Director

You will lead the execution of real estate advisory mandates from start to finish. This is a hands‑on role with responsibility for the full deal cycle, including origination, structuring, negotiation, and completion. You will work closely with Partners but have autonomy to manage mandates, shape strategy, and deliver outcomes.

Alongside delivery, you will play a key role in developing the Real Estate Advisory team, mentoring junior colleagues, and contributing to the growth and positioning of the practice. Business development is a core aspect - leveraging your network, identifying opportunities, and building long‑term client relationships will be essential.

Key responsibilities

• Leading debt and equity capital raising, refinancing, structured finance, and special situation mandates end‑to‑end
• Taking full ownership of client relationships and acting as a trusted adviser
• Structuring transactions and overseeing detailed financial modelling and analysis
• Preparing and reviewing financing memoranda, investor, or lender materials
• Driving transactions through to successful completion
• Developing and mentoring junior team members to build a high‑performing advisory team
• Contributing to business development, practice growth, and market positioning

The ideal candidate

• Real estate specialist with demonstrable experience of managing full transactions from origination to completion
• Strong professional services experience, either current or previous, such as real estate advisory, corporate finance, capital markets, restructuring, or related advisory work
• Not suited to candidates whose background is purely investment management without hands‑on advisory and full deal execution experience
• Commercially minded, confident in originating work, and credible with senior stakeholders
• Excellent financial modelling skills and ability to communicate complex concepts clearly

The opportunity

This is a rare chance to take a Director‑level role with real autonomy, influence over a growing practice, and a visible profile in the market. The firm supports leadership development, offers a flexible hybrid working model, and encourages proactive contribution to team growth and strategic direction.

A confidential discussion can be arranged for candidates ready to take ownership of mandates and drive the growth of a leading Real Estate Advisory platform.
