Job description

The Investment Manager role is a senior position within the investments arm of an infrastructure firm in Abu Dhabi, working closely with the Asset Management division. The role focuses on Financial Services, Real Estate, and Infrastructure investments, covering the full end-to-end investment lifecycle. The Investment Manager is responsible for sourcing and evaluating new investment opportunities, supporting and executing transactions, and aligning investment strategy with execution across real estate and infrastructure deals. The position involves extensive financial modelling, valuation analysis, due diligence, and deal structuring, while acting as an in-house transaction advisor to minimize dependence on external corporate finance or advisory firms. The role also includes planning and allocating resources for investment projects, maintaining market leadership through comprehensive market research and sector insights, and tracking and analysing financial and operational performance metrics for portfolio companies. Candidates are expected to bring prior experience from Investment Banking, transaction advisory, sell-side Corporate Finance Advisory, Big 4 Advisory, boutique investment management, or Real Estate and Infrastructure Transaction Advisory teams, with a demonstrated appetite to transition into a principal investing environment if coming from sell-side advisory.
