Our client's Real Assets division is one of the company’s core operating platforms. The group is a major global investor with a diversified portfolio spanning commercial buildings, residential assets, logistics facilities, hospitality, and other alternative real-asset classes across multiple regions.

Our client is looking for a proactive and analytical Transaction Execution Manager to join the European real-assets team.

• Review and challenge due-diligence outputs, including working-capital reviews, net-debt adjustments and related analyses.
• Highlight material financial issues and communicate findings to investment and finance teams.
• Oversee review of completion accounts, accounting policies and transaction-agreement mechanics.

• Analyse offering documents and transaction materials to determine appropriate accounting treatment for debt issuances under IFRS, consulting technical experts when required.
• Coordinate with legal, tax, and capital-markets teams to align accounting implications with transaction terms.
• Support audit-related processes, including interactions with external auditors.

• Work closely with central treasury teams to ensure accurate funding, cash management and execution of transaction flows.
• Monitor FX exposures, escrow arrangements and intercompany funding structures.

• Professional accounting qualification (e.g., ACA, ACCA or equivalent), ideally with training in transaction services or relevant deal-focused experience.
• 3–4+ years’ experience in deal execution, including understanding of due diligence, completion steps and funds-flow processes.
• Familiarity with treasury processes such as cash-flow forecasting and foreign-exchange management.

• Experience with private-fund or investment-vehicle structures.
• Background in real-estate or other tangible-asset sectors, ideally across multiple jurisdictions.
• Strong academic record.
• Advanced Excel proficiency and confident PowerPoint skills.
