The role has a strong hands-on and execution-oriented focus, suited for someone who enjoys coordinating processes, solving practical problems, and actively engaging with stakeholders.

Coordinating with external stakeholders such as property managers, advisors and counterparties
Direct communication with target companies, managers and partners when needed
Supporting value creation initiatives, liquidity actions and portfolio/asset optimisation projects
Participating in ad hoc projects related to portfolio development and strategy execution
While analytical skills are required, the emphasis is on execution, coordination, and delivery rather than pure modelling or research.
What we are looking for
We are looking for a proactive, communicative, and hands-on professional with prior experience in real estate.
You bring
Relevant work experience in real estate investment and/or asset management
Experience in real estate transactions is essential
A practical, execution-driven mindset – you take ownership and move things forward
Confidence to communicate directly with stakeholders and counterparties
Strong communication skills in Finnish and English
Ability to work independently while being an active team player

Knows your strengths and limitations and works responsibly
Enjoys working with people and solving real-life problems
Is more “doer-oriented” than purely analytical
