About the Role

You will join a high-performing team that works closely with finance leaders in the real estate sector, including CFOs, Finance Directors, Heads of FP&A, and investment controllers - placing interim professionals from newly qualified level through to executive finance mandates.

What we're looking for

  • Strong experience in interim finance recruitment (qualified or part-qualified market)

  • Full 360 capability – proven at winning, developing, and delivering against client accounts

  • Confidence and credibility to work with senior finance leaders across real estate

  • Commercial awareness and desire to build out a high-performing desk with leadership potential

  • Background in real estate/property is desirable but not essential

  • 4-day working week

  • Unlimited annual leave

  • Private medical insurance

  • Access to a 24-year historic client and candidate database
