Associate Director - Long Income Origination

This is a great job for someone who has a solid understanding and track record in long lease property investments (reversionary long leases, income strips, commercial ground rent structures).

A bit about the job:

In this role, you will identify and progress investment opportunities across our Long Income Funds by collaborating with the Fund Management, Origination, Asset Management, and Research teams. You will foster positive relationships with collaborators such as public sector entities, investment agents, real estate investors, fund valuers, lawyers, construction professionals, and managing agents. Your role involves finding and managing investment acquisitions, financial structuring, and development funding for Long Income Strategies. You will lead the end-to-end transaction process for acquisitions. Supporting analysts with financial modelling, you will assess the strategic fit and relative value of new investment opportunities. You will ensure that internal documentation is prepared to a high standard to secure the vital approvals and own the due diligence process to successfully complete the origination and transaction processes.

Skills and experience we're looking for:

• Experience in development funding through project finance or long lease property investment.
• Proficient in commercial negotiation and driven to find effective solutions.
• Effective collaboration with market counterparties and public sector entities.
• Experience in investment acquisition processes and compliance.
• Degree in Real Estate, Economics, or Finance alongside professional qualifications (RICS, CFA, Accountancy) preferred.

What you'll get for this role:

• Generous pension scheme - Aviva will contribute up to 14%, depending on what you put in.
• Eligibility for annual performance bonus.
• Family friendly parental and carer's leave.
• Generous holiday entitlement plus bank holidays with the option to buy/sell up to 5 additional days.
• Up to 40% discount for Aviva products.
• Brilliant flexible benefits including electric cars.
• Aviva Matching Share Plan and Save As You Earn scheme.
• 21 volunteering hours per year.

In this role you'll be 'Certified' under the Financial Conduct Authority / Prudential Regulation Authority's Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR). This means that we'll need to complete some regulatory background checks on you before you take up your role and we'll need to ask you some questions on an annual basis to make sure you remain 'fit and proper' and competent to carry out your role. We'll provide training on what holding a SMCR role means when you join us and annually thereafter.
