Equifind is working with a high-growth real estate asset manager on their search for a Head of Finance to join their London office in Mayfair.
They invest across the UK market, with a key focus on acquiring single-family, multi-family and retirement housing. 2026 has been a strong year so far, with several more deals lined up to close before the end of Q4.
It’s a business still in its growth years, and it moves fast. There’s real scope to shape the finance function as it scales, and you’ll be trusted to get involved wherever you can add value, not just within a set job spec.
