Position Overview

We are seeking a highly analytical Senior Analyst to join our Team. The role will focus on underwriting and executing pan-European real estate investments and developments, including financial modelling, deal research and investment committee materials. The Senior Analyst will support opportunities from initial screening through due diligence, approval and execution, and provide analysis across the existing portfolio.

The successful candidate will be a proficient real estate modeller, able to prepare clear, high-quality investment committee memoranda and presentations with appropriate senior review. The role requires commercial judgement, attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple workstreams across European markets.

The role also requires an understanding of ESG and sustainability matters, together with the practical use of AI to support, but not replace, professional judgement in underwriting, research and investment committee preparation.

• Undertake market, asset, tenant and transaction research to support investment theses and underwriting assumptions across European markets.
• Apply an understanding of logistics real estate, occupier requirements and development and asset management considerations to underwriting.
• Analyse and communicate market, transaction, occupational and capital markets data, with clear sourcing for key assumptions.
• Maintain deal pipeline reports, underwriting summaries, due diligence trackers and decision logs.
• Coordinate with agents, consultants, legal advisers, lenders and other external parties to progress due diligence and identify issues requiring escalation.
• Undertake ad hoc commercial and portfolio analysis and help improve investment processes, templates and data quality.
• Use approved AI tools to support deal research, document review, model checking and investment committee drafting. Validate outputs, record sources and assumptions, and comply with confidentiality and information-security requirements.
