Company Description
Oberland is a dynamic real estate investment and asset management company leveraging significant market disruption to innovate within the industry. With investments exceeding £250 million in Gross Development Value (GDV), we focus on cutting-edge ‘hotelisation’ trends, reshaping the marketplace to meet evolving demand. Oberland brings extensive expertise across multiple asset classes and global geographies, specialising in 'low intervention' real estate transformation.
Role Description
We are looking for an Acquisitions Analyst to support the origination, underwriting, and execution of new investment opportunities across our target sectors. The primary focus is hospitality (hotels, aparthotels, and mixed-use leisure assets), with exposure to commercial and residential transactions as the pipeline demands.
This is a broad, hands-on role. You will be active across the full deal cycle — from proactive sourcing of off-market opportunities through to financial underwriting, execution, and supporting asset management post-acquisition. You will work directly with senior members of the team and be expected to develop your own network and deal instincts over time.
Regular travel to active sites across the UK will be required in support of project sourcing and evaluation.
Location: London (office-based, with UK-wide travel up to ~25%)
Experience: 1-3 years (real estate investment, underwriting, feasibility)
Salary: £45,000–£55,000 base + up to 20% discretionary annual bonus
Key Responsibilities
Sourcing & Origination
- Proactively identifying and cultivating off-market opportunities through agent relationships, direct outreach, and sector networks
- Monitoring on-market deal flow and maintaining a live pipeline across target sectors
- Tracking ownership changes, distressed situations, and repositioning opportunities
Underwriting & Execution
- Financial modelling: building and maintaining acquisition models covering levered and unlevered returns, scenario analysis, and sensitivity testing
- Investment memoranda: drafting materials for internal investment committee and external investor audiences
- Due diligence coordination: working with lawyers, agents, and technical advisers during the transaction process
- Asset-level analysis: appraising operational trading performance, RevPAR benchmarking, and operator/brand options for hospitality assets
- Debt structuring support: modelling development and investment finance scenarios, interfacing with lenders and brokers
Asset Management
- Supporting post-acquisition asset management across select holdings, including monitoring operational performance, tracking business plan milestones, and liaising with operators and managing agents
- Maintaining market comparables, transaction databases, and sector intelligence
What We Are Looking For
- 1–3 years' experience in real estate investment, transactions, advisory, or a closely related field (e.g. CBRE/JLL/Savills investment team, real estate private equity, hotel advisory, or development)
- Strong financial modelling skills — comfortable building models from scratch in Excel
- Genuine interest in hospitality real estate; prior exposure to hotels, F&B, or leisure assets is a plus
- An existing network of agent and broker contacts, or the drive and interpersonal confidence to build one quickly
- Commercially sharp and intellectually curious — able to form a view on a deal, not just run numbers
- Clear, concise written communication — able to draft investor-facing materials to a high standard
- Organised and self-directed, comfortable managing multiple workstreams in a lean team environment
Why Join Us
- The ability to contribute meaningfully to processes, decision-making, and project outcomes
- A platform with a growing footprint across hospitality, commercial, and mixed-use real estate
- Immediate responsibility in identifying and executing transactions
- Opportunity to work with heritage assets and complex, characterful buildings across the UK
- Close collaboration with senior leadership within a small, entrepreneurial, and expanding team
