About the role

As our Acquisitions Manager, you'll own deal flow end-to-end across key US markets - from sourcing through closing.

  • Identify high-potential urban sites through a strong network of brokers, landlords, and local stakeholders
  • Build and maintain a steady pipeline of off-market and underutilised opportunities
  • Analyse deal viability with financial models and deliver clear, data-driven recommendations
  • Partner with legal, technical, and finance teams to manage due diligence and flag risks early
  • Monitor asset performance post-close and feed insights back into acquisition strategy


What we're looking for
  • 4-10 years of total experience, with 3-5+ years in real estate acquisition, investment, or transactions
  • Background in real estate, finance, private equity, investment banking, or development
  • Proven track record identifying, evaluating, and closing deals in dynamic US urban markets
  • Strong financial modelling skills and sharp negotiation instincts
  • Resourceful, strategic, and relentless - a founder's mindset applied to deal-making
