Description


Realty Income, The Monthly Dividend Company®, one of four San Diego-based S&P 500 companies dedicated to providing shareholders with dependable monthly income. Our company is structured as a REIT, and its monthly dividends are supported by the cash flow, over 6,500 real estate properties owned under long-term lease agreements with regional and national commercial tenants. To date, our company has declared over 600 consecutive common stock monthly dividends throughout its 52-year operating history and has continually increased the dividend since Realty Income's public listing in 1994 (NYSE: O). Our company attracts individuals who value integrity, perseverance, and teamwork. If you appreciate working on a truly collaborative team in a professional environment in a company that encourages a work-life balance, make sure to apply today!

As Realty Income's Head of European Investment Strategy, you will work with the leadership team to drive a core plank of the company’s growth. This includes:

  • Identifying attractive industries and underwriting tenants (i.e., clients) within them.
  • Thought leadership on investment themes that cut across geographies for a set of industries (e.g., automotive) or new asset classes
  • Collaborating on strategic projects with high organizational impact (e.g., M&A).

Being successful will require working closely with the European leadership team, Research, Asset Management, Legal, Finance and Tax to develop and evolve investment insights. These insights will be periodically shared with the Investment Committee and the Board of Directors as part of scheduled updates or in relation to transactions.

The Head of European Investment Strategy will build and lead a team over time to support the company’s investment activities across geographies, industries, and asset classes.

Your Contribution to the Team Includes: 

Investment Strategy

  • Formulate multi-year investment strategy across Europe working with the European leadership team and Investment Committee
  • Prioritize investment focus based on macro (country or continental) and micro (industry and regional) drivers of investment returns in Europe
  • Translate strategy into tactical plans for acquisition, including sourcing strategy and client (i.e., tenants) lists for transactions, potential capital partnerships, or joint ventures with developers/operators

Investment Research

  • Create industry forecasts for target industries leveraging external research, advisory relationships, proprietary research, and predictive analytics; periodically update forecasts to keep research current
  • Leverage proprietary credit underwriting infrastructure to analyze and update client (i.e., tenant) financials
  • Prepare discussion materials for Investment Committee or the Board of Directors

Business Development

  • Evaluate new geographies and asset classes efficiently using a process of triage and leveraging advisory relationships
  • Screen for public and private M&A targets suitable to the company’s investment strategy using both top-down financial modeling and bottom-up analysis of individual assets/clients (i.e., tenants)
  • Participate in or lead discussions on business development, including but not limited to M&A, partnerships, or joint ventures


What You'll Need to be Successful 

  • Master’s degree required
  • Experience in management consulting, investment banking, financial analysis, investment portfolio management, business development, or relatable field
  • 5+ years of relevant work experience
  • Deep understanding of REITs, commercial real estate, and industries represented in Realty Income’s top 20 client industries
  • Entrepreneurial mindset and desire to operate collaboratively as “One Team”
  • Able to think strategically while also being detail oriented and building financial models as required
  • Strong presence, oral and verbal communications
  • Strong leadership skills, having an ability to inspire and move across functional groups and leadership and be able to form strong and lasting relationships with others
  • Willingness to travel (up to 15%) internationally, excluding any extended visits to profile and develop new markets (the position will be domiciled in the US initially).
