Real Estate Investment Manager Europe - PBSA and Living

Our client is one of the world’s largest operators and managers in the PBSA sector, with an established international platform and a substantial portfolio under management across multiple geographies.

The organisation is now entering an exciting new phase of growth, expanding its European PBSA platform and living brand.

Teams across the business share a clear mission: delivering exceptional resident experiences today to create a lasting impact for tomorrow.

The business is at a pivotal stage of its European expansion, actively deploying capital across Continental Europe — including Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and France — while raising additional capital to build a leading pan‑European living platform spanning the full risk spectrum.

The Role

We are seeking an Investment Associate or Investment Analyst to join the London‑based Investment team, reporting directly to the Head of Investment. The primary focus of the role is Continental Europe.

This is a highly analytical, execution‑focused position within a small, entrepreneurial team. The successful candidate will play a central role across the full investment lifecycle — from acquisition and development underwriting through to capital structuring, due diligence, investor communication and ongoing valuation oversight. The role involves regular travel across Europe.

• Managing transaction timelines and supporting execution through to completion
• Preparing materials for equity and debt capital raises

• Responding to investor information requests and due diligence queries
• Assisting with investor presentations and ongoing stakeholder communications
• Supporting quarterly and annual reporting processes

• Able to manage multiple workstreams and tight deadlines
• Self‑starter who works effectively both independently and within a small team
• Proactive, detail‑oriented and willing to go the extra mile

Why This Role?

This is a rare opportunity to join a high‑growth, entrepreneurial platform at an exciting stage of its European expansion. You will gain genuine hands‑on exposure to cross‑border transactions, capital raising and platform‑building within one of the most active investors in the European living sector.
