Asset Manager Senior Manager

Overview

A leading regional investment platform is seeking an Asset Manager to join its Dubai-based investment team, with responsibility for the active management and value optimisation of hospitality assets across a diversified portfolio.

This role sits firmly on the post-investment side, focusing on operational performance, asset enhancement, stakeholder management, and long-term value creation rather than deal execution or origination.

Key Responsibilities

  • Oversee the day-to-day asset management of hospitality investments, including hotels, resorts, and mixed-use leisure assets

  • Monitor asset-level performance against business plans, budgets, and investment objectives

  • Drive operational improvements, cost efficiencies, and revenue-enhancement initiatives

  • Act as the primary interface with hotel operators, asset operators, and third-party managers
  • Review and challenge operating reports, budgets, and forecasts

  • Review financial models, cash flows, and valuation assumptions for existing assets

  • Prepare asset-level reporting, investment committee updates, and strategic recommendations

  • Support refinancing, restructuring, or exit planning where relevant

Candidate Specification

  • Experience in hospitality asset management, real estate asset management, or operational oversight within an investment or principal environment

  • Strong understanding of hotel operations, performance metrics, and operator agreements

  • Commercially minded with the ability to balance operational detail and investment objectives

  • Comfortable managing multiple stakeholders, including operators, advisors, and internal teams

  • Prior exposure to assets in the GCC or international hospitality markets preferred
