Private Equity - European Real Estate Investment Manager - German Speaker

A unique opportunity for a German-speaking investment professional to join a well-capitalised private equity real estate platform managing several billion dollars of assets across the US and Europe.

The firm has a strong focus on complex European transactions across the residential, industrial/logistics, and selected retail sectors.

This is a true investing role offering immediate responsibility and direct exposure to senior investment professionals and Investment Committee decision-making. You will be involved throughout the investment lifecycle, from sourcing and underwriting through execution, closing, and post-acquisition strategy.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyse and evaluate real estate investment opportunities across European markets and sectors.
• Build, own, and present detailed financial models, including sensitivities, downside scenarios, debt structures, tax considerations, and joint venture waterfalls.
• Prepare investment memoranda, IC materials, and decision-support analyses.
• Support transaction execution, including structuring, commercial negotiations, and documentation.
• Contribute to sourcing initiatives across logistics, residential, and broader real asset strategies.
• Work closely with asset management, finance, legal, ESG teams, and external advisors throughout the investment process.
• Support the development and mentoring of junior team members.

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum four years of experience within a Tier 1 real estate private equity or investment banking firm.
• Strong financial modelling and transaction execution capabilities.
• Solid understanding of European real estate markets and investment fundamentals.
• Ability to take ownership of investment recommendations and defend investment views.
• Strong analytical skills combined with commercial judgement.
• Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced and entrepreneurial environment.
• Fluency in German and English; additional European languages (French, Spanish, Italian) are advantageous.
• Interest in leveraging AI, technology, and automation to enhance investment analysis and execution.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Genuine front-line investing role with meaningful responsibility from day one.
• Exposure to complex, institutional-scale European transactions.
• Opportunity to develop strong investment judgement across multiple sectors and markets.
• Combination of institutional capital, entrepreneurial culture, and long-term growth potential.
