Associate Director – Real Estate M&A Advisory

We are partnering with a leading global advisory platform to identify an Associate Director for its growing Real Estate M&A Advisory practice.

This is a high-profile opportunity to work at the intersection of complex, high-value transactions and strategic growth initiatives within the real estate sector.

The team advises on a wide range of corporate and asset transactions across residential, hospitality, leisure, healthcare, and mixed-use portfolios . You’ll be working directly with senior leadership on live deals while also shaping the future direction of the practice.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead and manage the execution of real estate M&A transactions, including corporate acquisitions/disposals, joint ventures, platform investments, and equity/debt raisings.
• Structure deals involving both operating platforms and underlying assets (including JV promote and profit-share structures).
• Develop, review, and refine detailed financial models and investment materials for client and investor presentations.
• Work closely with investors, developers, operators, and corporate leadership teams to deliver commercially robust solutions.
• Contribute to the team’s strategic growth by identifying opportunities to refine service offerings and expand sector coverage.
• Mentor and develop junior team members, fostering a collaborative and high-performance culture.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Real deal volume: High flow of live, complex transactions across diverse real estate sectors.
• Lean leadership structure: Not top-heavy, giving you clear runway for promotion into more senior roles.
• Future leadership potential: Opportunity in time to develop and lead your own sub-sector within the real estate practice.
• Visionary leadership: Work directly with a highly regarded industry leader with a background in global investment banking, currently building and expanding the platform.

About You

You will excel in this role if you:

• Thrive in a fast-paced, transaction-driven environment.
• Bring a commercial mindset to both deal execution and client strategy.
• Enjoy taking ownership and working in a team where initiative is valued and rewarded.
• Have strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to operate confidently at senior levels.
