We are looking for a hands-on, operationally-minded leader to drive asset enhancement, repositioning, and value realization across our ~£2bn European real estate portfolio. The focus is on transforming existing assets
Main Responsibility
1. Asset Enhancement & Repositioning
* Lead end-to-end transformation strategies — change of use (e.g., student accommodation, BTR), ESG/EPC upgrades, and operational improvements
* Drive project execution in partnership with local European teams and China-based engineering/operations support
* Deliver measurable NOI uplift through leasing initiatives, cost restructuring, and capex optimization
2. Stakeholder & Board Engagement
* Serve as a key interface between European operations and global leadership
* Report directly to the platform's senior leadership; present asset strategies, execution updates, and exit recommendations to the board
* Mentor junior talent and embed best practices in asset management execution and stakeholder reporting
* Develop and implement divestment plans (direct sales, recapitalizations, JVs) aligned with asset-level KPIs and market timing
* Structure capital solutions that balance near‑term liquidity with value maximization
* Prepare assets and asset packs for institutional‑grade exits
Qualifications:
* 15+ years of hands‑on experience in real estate project execution, asset transformation, or development management
* Proven track record of repositioning, developing, or turning around commercial assets — ideally with cross‑border European exposure
* Full‑cycle exits (development-to-sale or acquisition-to-disposition) experience
* Strong project management, leasing, and capital structuring capabilities
* Background in engineering, construction, civil engineering, hospitality, or mixed‑use turnaround highly preferred
* Ownership mentality — takes initiative, pushes execution without waiting for top‑down direction
* Data‑driven decision‑maker with strategic judgment
* Strong stakeholder communication — can credibly represent the platform to capital partners and investors
* Language requirement: Fluent in Mandarin Speaking is a Must
