We’re looking for a Senior Associate, Fund Analyst to join our London‑based Real Estate Investment team! This is a unique opportunity to play a central role in the management of IREEF, our flagship pan-European diversified real estate fund.

Working across transactions, asset management, financing, portfolio strategy and investor reporting, you'll gain exposure to the full investment lifecycle while helping shape key investment decisions. This is far more than a modelling role. We're looking for someone who is intellectually curious, commercially minded and confident forming investment views, someone who can turn complex analysis into meaningful investment insights.

If you enjoy asking questions, challenging assumptions, and influencing decisions, we'd love to hear from you

Key ResponsibilitiesFund & Portfolio Analysis

Maintain a forward-looking view of fund performance, identifying key risks and opportunities across sectors and geographies

Support hold/sell recommendations, capital allocation decisions, and broader portfolio strategy initiatives

Deliver fund-level analysis and reporting, including rental and occupancy trends, valuation drivers, performance attribution, and other key portfolio metrics

Transactions & Underwriting

Support the underwriting of acquisitions and disposals from a fund-level perspective

Partner with local transaction teams across Europe to evaluate opportunities against fund objectives and investment strategy

Challenge and flex key assumptions within complex financial models, developing downside, upside, and sensitivity scenarios to assess risk and return outcomes

Provide clear, concise, and commercially focused recommendations to support investment decisions

Asset Management & Business Planning

Review and challenge asset-level business plans across the portfolio

Collaborate with asset management teams to understand the operational drivers influencing asset performance

Analyse budgets against actual performance, identifying variances, trends, and areas requiring attention

Identify value creation opportunities and potential risks at both asset and portfolio level

Fund Strategy & Decision Support

Contribute to investment committee papers, portfolio reviews, and strategic presentations

Translate complex data and analysis into clear, decision-ready insights

Bring independent thinking, commercial judgement, and a constructive challenge mindset to discussions

Financing & Structure Awareness

Work closely with finance and structured finance teams to ensure models accurately reflect debt structures, tax considerations, and fund-level mechanics

Understand and evaluate the impact of financing decisions on fund performance, risk profile, and liquidity

Investor Reporting

Support the preparation of quarterly investor reports, performance analysis, and investor communications

Clearly articulate the key drivers of fund performance, providing insight into both outcomes and underlying trends

You'll need to have

We're looking for someone who combines strong analytical capabilities with curiosity, commercial awareness and a desire to make an impact.

Some years of relevant experience (exceptional candidates considered outside this range)

Experience in real estate investment, fund management, valuation, advisory or a related field

Strong financial modelling and underwriting skills

Excellent Excel capabilities, including cash flow forecasting and scenario analysis

A solid understanding of real estate investment fundamentals and valuation drivers

Exposure to European real estate markets is advantageous

Experience with tools such as Argus or Forbury is helpful but not essential

A degree in Real Estate, Finance, Economics, Engineering or a related discipline

A strong academic track record

CFA, RICS or CAIA qualifications (or progress towards them) are a plus

You'll Thrive in This Role If You Are

Curious and naturally driven to understand the "why"

Proactive and comfortable taking ownership

Commercially minded and interested in how assets create value

Comfortable challenging assumptions and expressing your views

Able to communicate complex topics clearly and concisely

Motivated by problem-solving and continuous learning

Why Join Us?

This role offers a rare opportunity to influence fund-level investment decisions within a leading pan-European real estate strategy.

You'll benefit from:

Direct exposure to senior investment decision-making

Experience across transactions, asset management, financing and portfolio strategy

Broad exposure to multiple real estate sectors and European markets

The opportunity to shape investment outcomes, not simply analyse them

A collaborative team culture that values curiosity, ownership and independent thinking

If you're looking for a role where your analysis directly influences investment decisions and where you'll gain broad exposure across the real estate investment lifecycle, we'd love to hear from you.
