Opportunity: Senior Lead - Real Estate Debt Fund Finance

I am recruiting on behalf of a market-leading Alternative Asset Manager that is looking for a senior finance professional to take a pivotal role within their Real Estate Debt platform.

This is a multi-disciplinary leadership role designed for someone who thrives at the intersection of Fund Operations, Transaction Execution, and Strategy. You’ll be overseeing a sophisticated portfolio for a firm with a massive global footprint.

The Core Mission

You will lead fund operations across a portfolio of Real Estate Debt funds, coordinating Fund Control, Accounting, and Transaction workstreams. This isn’t just "oversight"-you will be the engine ensuring effective strategy execution and robust financial control.

Key Responsibilities
*Transaction Execution: Leading deal closings, managing tax structuring, and evaluating risk for complex debt investments.
*Fund Life Cycle Management: Overseeing everything from entity formation to liquidations, including board governance and investor reporting.
*Financial Appraisal: Owning the quarterly reporting, audit processes, and complex performance analysis (IRRs, Carried Interest).
*Treasury & Liquidity: Managing fund cash, hedging strategies, and bridge/leverage facilities.
*Scalability: Acting as a "process champion" to enhance controls and build a scalable function for future growth.
Who This Is For

The ideal candidate is likely a seasoned Fund Controller or Finance Manager with a strong background in Real Estate Debt or Private Credit. You should be comfortable collaborating with Third-Party Administrators (TPAs) and internal stakeholders across London, Europe, and Asia.

Why This Role? *Scale: You’ll be working on a platform with multi-billion Euro AUM.
*Impact: This is a "leading role" with high visibility to Portfolio Managers and Investment teams.
*Complexity: Ideal for someone who enjoys technical accounting challenges and cross-border regulatory environments (AIFMD, Solvency II).
The "Must-Haves": *Qualified Accountant: (ACA/ACCA/CIMA or equivalent).
*Sector Expertise: Proven experience in Real Estate, Debt, or Private Markets.
*Fund Fluency: Deep understanding of closed-ended fund structures, performance metrics (IRR/Multiples), and carried interest.
*Technical Rigor: Ability to interpret legal documentation and manage complex fund tax considerations.
*FS Background: Experience within Private Equity, Investment Banking, or a high-level Fund Administration/Investment Ops role.
