Our client HQ is Amsterdam. Frequent travel to The Netherlands will be required.
We’re hiring a senior investment professional to lead acquisitions and help shape the long-term direction of a growing industrial real estate platform. With committed capital and an active pipeline, the focus is on deployment across Germany, The Netherlands and other Northern European jurisdictions, with full ownership of the deal lifecycle.
Reporting to the founding partners, you’ll be a senior figure in a small, collaborative team. This is a hands-on role for someone with deep transactional experience, a macro view on the market and a clear commercial mindset. There is potential to take on strategic leadership responsibilities over time, and the business offers meaningful progression opportunities for those aligned with its trajectory. The culture is flat, focused and purpose-driven — combining a shared commercial goal with a commitment to doing business with integrity and enjoyment.
Key Responsibilities
* Shape and execute investment strategy across select European markets. Germany represents a key strategic focus.
* Lead sourcing efforts and manage a growing acquisition pipeline.
* Full ownership of transactions: underwriting, structuring, negotiations and closing.
* Oversight of due diligence across legal, technical and financial workstreams.
* Act as principal throughout each transaction; liaise with IC and external stakeholders.
* Maintain strong relationships with brokers, advisors, developers, tenants and investors.
* Contribute to team development, process improvement, and long-term business growth.
* Act as a cultural contributor, supporting a high-integrity, low-ego working environment.
Candidate Profile
* Experienced real estate investment professional with a strong sourcing and origination track record.
* Demonstrable experience transacting and managing industrial real estate investments.
* International transactions exposure in markets including Germany or the UK would be beneficial.
* Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in real estate, finance, economics, law or a related field.
* Fluent in Dutch and English. German language skills are advantageous.
* Highly numerate, with the ability to model in Excel and review the work of others.
* Self-starter with a strong work ethic and hands-on mindset.
* Commercially astute with strong judgement and a clear grasp of risk/return.
* Excellent interpersonal and communication skills; collaborative and constructive by nature.
What’s on Offer
* An empowered, inclusive and collaborative working environment.
* Competitive compensation and benefits (base, bonus, promote).
* A clear progression pathway and partnership opportunity exists for those who take ownership, deliver consistently, and contribute to long-term business growth.
