Senior Investment Analyst / Associate - Real Estate Private Equity

A leading European real estate investment platform with a strong track record of delivering value through innovation, operational excellence and commitment to sustainability. With over €20bn in assets under management and a presence across multiple European markets, the firm invests across real estate equity, credit and technology strategies.

Widely recognised for its progressive ESG agenda, ambitious decarbonisation targets and long‑term approach to value creation, the business has recently raised one of the largest value‑add real estate funds in Europe and the platform is entering an exciting phase of growth and deployment.

The UK Real Estate Investment team plays a central role in executing the firm’s strategy locally — partnering with best‑in‑class operators, identifying compelling opportunities and delivering strong risk‑adjusted returns through disciplined underwriting and active asset management.

The Opportunity

An opportunity has arisen for an experienced Analyst to join the UK Real Estate Investment team based in London.

The role offers exposure across the full investment lifecycle, from underwriting acquisitions through to portfolio analysis and investor reporting. The successful candidate will work closely with senior investment professionals and gain hands‑on experience in transactions, fund‑level analysis and the integration of data and AI technology within investment processes.

The position would suit an intellectually curious, commercially minded analyst looking to build a long‑term career in real estate private equity. An active interest in the application of AI in investment management is a strong preference.

Key Responsibilities

• Build, own and maintain detailed financial underwriting models for new acquisitions, including scenario and sensitivity analysis.
• Support transaction execution, including due diligence and preparation of high‑quality investment committee materials.
• Maintain pipeline tracking tools, investment documentation and reporting frameworks.
• Analyse asset‑level financial performance against underwriting assumptions and identify key value drivers.
• Contribute to quarterly and annual investor reporting, including fund and asset performance commentary.
• Assist with fund‑level modelling, including debt structures and promote calculations.
• Support debt financing and refinancing processes, including leverage and capital structure analysis.
• Contribute to the development and implementation of technology, automation and AI‑driven workflows within the team.

Candidate Profile

• Strong financial modelling and analytical skills, with advanced Excel capability.
• Experience in fund‑level modelling, underwriting, portfolio analytics, or performance reporting.
• Excellent numerical ability and written communication skills.
• High attention to detail with a proactive, collaborative approach.
• Interest in digital tools, automation and emerging AI technologies, with the confidence to experiment and improve team processes.
• Experience with digital tools such as Excel, Power BI or similar analytics platforms is beneficial.
• Comfort analysing data using technology, and an interest in developing light touch workflows or automations.
• Exposure to Living sectors (e.g. Build‑to‑Rent, PRS, PBSA, hotels) or Industrial assets would be an advantage but is not essential.
• Degree in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Accounting or related discipline preferred.
• CFA, ACA / ACCA (qualified or studying) would be advantageous.
• Experience in real estate, investment banking, private equity, fund management, consulting or a similar analytical environment is advantageous.
