Vice President – Real Estate Investment & Corporate Finance

Company: Caravel
Apply for the Vice President – Real Estate Investment & Corporate Finance
Location: London
Job Description:

London | Hybrid

We are working with an independent real estate investment and advisory business looking to hire a Vice President into its London team.

This isn’t a conventional fund investing role with a big name firm. It’s a boutique managing SMAs.

The business operates with institutional capital partners to originate, structure and execute complex real estate transactions across the UK and Europe. Its focus sits at the intersection of real estate, corporate finance and structured capital – including sale & leasebacks, OpCo/PropCo transactions and recapitalisations.

It is a relatively small, partner-led platform, but one with a significant transaction history. The team has executed c.€6bn of sale & leaseback and net lease transactions since 2006.

The opportunity

You will work directly with the founding partners across the full lifecycle of transactions – origination, underwriting, structuring, financing and execution.

Importantly, this is not a role where opportunities simply arrive on your desk. We are looking for someone who enjoys being in the market: building relationships with corporates, sponsors, investors, banks and advisers; identifying situations; developing ideas; and ultimately turning those conversations into executable transactions.

You will also remain very hands-on once a transaction emerges – analysing the real estate and underlying corporate credit, building and challenging models, structuring debt and equity, arranging financing and driving transactions through diligence and completion.

Who we’re looking for

An established VP or equivalent with a background in real estate investment or investment banking/corporate finance in the UK.

You will need a strong transaction track record, excellent financial and commercial judgement and, importantly, evidence that you can originate rather than simply execute.

Salary is c£120k. Target bonus is 100%. Carry is also part of comp.
