Native Spanish, fluent in English

A Madrid-based real estate investment firm revitalizing undervalued homes through data-driven investment and strategic renovation is strengthening its acquisition team. The Head of Investment will lead the team, define strategy, manage key relations, and oversee performance, combining strategic focus with hands-on team and deal execution.

About the company

This Spanish real estate investment firm specializes in the full lifecycle of residential assets, from identifying high-potential properties to optimizing them through targeted refurbishment and repositioning. Combining operational efficiency, in-house expertise, and data-driven decision-making, the firm consistently delivers strong returns through both resale and rental strategies.

Initially funded with internal capital, the company is now transitioning to institutional capital, forging partnerships with family offices and structured debt providers to support its next stage of expansion. This shift marks a pivotal moment in its evolution, enabling greater scale and operational depth. As part of this growth, the firm is strengthening its acquisitions team with a senior, strategically minded leader to drive opportunity sourcing and execution.

Head of Investment – Spain

The Head of Investment will lead the Acquisition department, currently composed of eight team members. The new leader will bring structure, clarity, and momentum while driving performance and fostering talent.

Beyond team management, the role involves shaping the company’s commercial direction : setting acquisition strategies, designing incentive plans, and cultivating strategic partnerships. The Head of Investment will also be responsible for monitoring KPIs and aligning team goals with broader business objectives.

This position requires strong financial acumen, including the ability to interpret and assess financial models to guide investment decisions. Responsibilities also include leading contract negotiations and shaping the pricing strategy to align with market dynamics and profitability targets.

It may also suit someone with a more commercial background—driven, team-oriented, and accustomed to dynamic environments—who combines that energy with solid academic training and a genuine interest in evolving towards a more technical and institutional setting. The role entails constant engagement with agents, brokerages, and market stakeholders, while also acting as a representative of the company in discussions with investors, family offices, and financial institutions—fostering trust and building lasting partnerships that contribute to sustained growth.

The ability to grow into technical depth while bringing commercial acumen and leadership drive will be highly valued.

“This is a key position at the heart of our growth— leading the acquisitions team, refining our sourcing strategy, and building the foundations of a scalable, high-performing investment platform. This role is ideal for someone with a background in top-tier real estate firms, Big Four, or investment funds. It may also appeal to commercially minded professionals with strong foundations and the ambition to transition into a more technical and strategic role within a high-performance environment. As the business scales, this position offers a clear path to expanded leadership across cities and countries, full ownership of investment operations, and a central role in shaping one of the most ambitious residential platforms in the market.
