Overview

The portfolio operations team is seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Analyst to join its London-based team. This role offers the opportunity to work across a diverse portfolio of real estate investments in alternative sectors throughout the UK and Europe. Working in close coordination with internal teams and external partners, the successful candidate will support the execution of business plans, performance monitoring, and strategic initiatives across assigned assets.

This is a strong entry point for an early-career professional looking to build depth in real estate asset management within a collaborative, analytically rigorous environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Support asset management activities for assigned investments across the UK and Europe, with a focus on performance improvement and long-term value creation.
• Assist in the execution of investment-level business plans, including leasing initiatives, capital projects, ESG programmes, and value-add strategies.
• Contribute to the preparation of annual budgets in collaboration with internal stakeholders and operating partners.
• Assist in the coordination and review of internal and external valuations, working closely with Finance, operating partners, and external valuers.
• Monitor investment performance and maintain updated financial model projections, incorporating actuals to support strategic decision-making and business plan revisions.
• Contribute to quarterly reporting for Portfolio Management and Finance teams, including variance analysis and updated projections aligned with evolving business plans.
• Prepare materials presenting key performance insights, strategic developments, and investment updates for senior leadership as part of the quarterly investment review process.
• Participate in regular site visits and support oversight of third parties — including operating partners, property managers, and leasing teams — to ensure alignment with asset strategies and operational goals.
• Perform financial modelling and scenario analysis to support investment decisions and performance optimisation.
• Collaborate with internal teams on hold/sell analyses, refinancing processes, and exit strategies, including preparation of deliverables for senior leadership.
• Help maintain strong relationships with joint venture partners, consultants, and service providers.

Skills & Experience

• 0–3 years of experience in real estate asset management, investment, or a related field.
• Exposure to alternative real estate sectors — such as student accommodation, residential, senior living, or self-storage — is advantageous but not required.
• Strong analytical and financial modelling skills, with proficiency in Excel.
• Experience in budgeting, forecasting, and performance tracking, with a high level of attention to detail.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Highly organised, with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Collaborative team player with a proactive and self-motivated approach.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, PowerPoint, Word); experience with Argus and Power BI is an advantage.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Broad exposure to alternative real estate sectors across both the UK and Europe from an early stage in your career.
• Direct involvement in the full asset management lifecycle, from business plan execution through to exit strategy support.
• Regular engagement with senior leadership through quarterly investment reviews and strategic reporting.
• Opportunity to develop cross-functional relationships with Finance, Portfolio Management, operating partners, and external advisers.

Application Process

This role is based in London, with occasional travel required within the UK and Europe. Candidates with 0–3 years of relevant experience who meet the qualifications above are encouraged to apply.
