Job Description
Fund Finance Manager | Real Estate Private Equity, London
A leading real estate investment platform with c.8bn AUM is looking to hire a Fund Finance Manager to join the London based Fund Finance team.
The role sits in a lean team working closely with Portfolio Management across fund operations, liquidity, transactions and investor reporting across complex European real estate structures.
The environment is fast paced and commercially involved. The successful hire will be expected to understand what is happening across the funds operationally and from an investment perspective rather than simply overseeing quarterly reporting cycles.
Day to day exposure includes:
• Fund liquidity management, cash forecasting and revolving credit facilities
• Oversight of fund administrators across reporting, audited accounts, capital calls and distributions
• NAV reviews, investor reporting and fund performance analysis
• Supporting acquisitions and disposals from a fund finance perspective
• Working closely with deal teams around fund models, returns analysis and cashflows
• Managing auditors, tax advisers, local accountants and other third party providers
• Investor queries, DDQs and onboarding processes
One of the more interesting aspects of the role is the firm’s push around AI within Fund Finance and Portfolio Management. They are actively integrating AI into areas such as NAV reviews, financial statement reviews, liquidity monitoring and reporting workflows and want someone commercially curious enough to help drive that forward rather than simply sit alongside it.
The team is targeting candidates around 2-3 years PQE either coming from:
• A pan European real estate or private equity fund platform
• Financial Services audit at Manager level with strong real estate, private equity or asset management exposure
• A third party fund administrator with strong real estate fund experience and exposure across complex fund structures and full reporting cycles
The role would suit an ambitious and commercially minded individual looking for broader exposure, genuine responsibility and closer interaction with investment and portfolio management teams within a highly regarded platform.
