Hospitality Real Estate Investment & Development Strategic Growth Advisor (Remote)

VSENSI Hospitality & Lifestyle Group | Singapore HQ | Fully Remote, International

Join a founder-led platform shaping the next generation of exclusive hospitality investments.

VSENSI Hospitality & Lifestyle Group is a Singapore-headquartered international advisory platform specialising in exclusive off-market hospitality and lifestyle real estate transactions and the strategic repositioning of luxury assets.

Active across Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and the Indian Ocean, we advise family offices, UHNWIs, institutional investors, developers and private owners on the acquisition, transformation and long-term value creation of prime hospitality assets. With a track record of advising on assets representing more than USD 500 Millions in real estate value, we operate through exclusive mandates and long-term strategic partnerships, combining discretion, alignment and rigorous execution.

Our integrated platform covers the full investment lifecycle — from valuation, due diligence and transaction structuring to branding, design, F&B strategy and project management — delivering measurable performance and sustainable asset repositioning. Through a curated global network of qualified capital partners and property owners, we connect exceptional off-market opportunities with the right capital and tailored strategies.

Our portfolio includes unique lakefront resorts, wine estates, historic castles & Residences, wellbeing and eco-destinations, island-beachfront resorts, and branded residential and hospitality developments. Every decision is guided by our proprietary Five Senses Framework — an integrated approach that links investment, design, wellbeing, branding, and operations.

We are expanding and looking for an established, high-calibre advisor who can bring our exclusive portfolio to the right capital from day one. This is not a conventional brokerage seat. It is a direct partnership with the Founder on live, high-value mandates.

The Opportunity

You will work directly with our Founder, CEO & Managing Director on VSENSI’s exclusive portfolio — currently 25+ live mandates with an aggregate value exceeding €500 million.

You will match the right capital with the right asset, structure financing, and help originate new buy- and sell-side mandates. Because the team is lean and decisions are made at the top, your introductions, judgment, and structuring work have immediate impact. This role is for a proven dealmaker with an existing decision-maker network, not for someone seeking to build one.

Key Responsibilities

Investor Sourcing & Deal Origination

• Identify and introduce suitable investors (family offices, UHNWIs, private investors, PE funds, hospitality groups, developers, institutional and sovereign capital).
• Match investor profiles, strategies, and brand models with live mandates.
• Report directly to the CEO/MD on pipeline, feedback, and progress.

Financing: Debt & Equity Capital Raising

• Source and structure senior/mezzanine debt, JV equity, preferred equity, and co-investment for acquisitions and developments.
• Engage banks, private credit, debt funds, family offices, and institutional funders.
• Present investment cases and capital-stack proposals; support term sheets, due diligence, and close.

Mandate Origination & Business Development

• Source new property and land owners seeking international partners or buyers.
• Support new buy- and sell-side mandates.
• Grow the global network of partners, intermediaries, and owners.

Full Investment Cycle Support

• Support transactions from opportunity assessment through due diligence, structuring, and closing.
• Contribute to development, repositioning, and post-acquisition solutions.
• Help define brand strategy (third-party partnerships or customised brands) and support growth of the VSENSI Retreat Collection.
• Contribute to exit strategy and execution.

Required Qualifications

Non-negotiable

• Verifiable track record of closed hospitality or real estate transactions, development financings, or capital raises.
• Direct, established relationships with family offices, UHNWIs, private investors, hospitality groups, developers, and funders — able to open doors at decision-maker level.
• Demonstrated experience raising debt and/or equity for hospitality, real estate, or development projects.
• Minimum 10+ years senior experience in hospitality investment, real estate investment, development, M&A, corporate finance, or investment banking/advisory.
• Strong command of hotel and resort economics, feasibility, valuation, underwriting, financial modelling, and operator/brand models.
• Fluent English.

Strongly preferred

• Luxury, boutique, wellness, resort, or lifestyle hospitality experience.
• Cross-border work in Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, or the Indian Ocean.
• Development, repositioning, or post-acquisition asset management exposure.
• Hotel brand partnerships, brand creation, or operator selection experience.
• Additional languages: Italian, Arabic, Mandarin, German, or French.

Personal profile

Credible and polished with UHNW and institutional audiences. Absolute discretion. Entrepreneurial, self-driven, and results-oriented. Comfortable working independently across time zones. Strong negotiator and commercial judgment.

Engagement & Remuneration

• Phase 1: Independent consultant on a success-fee basis with attractive commission on the first deal closed.
• Phase 2: On closing of the first transaction, the position converts to a full-time role with a strategic part in VSENSI’s international expansion.

Candidates must hold any licences or registrations required in their jurisdiction. Final terms are agreed with the successful candidate.

Why work with VSENSI

• Direct founder access and real influence — you work alongside the CEO on live mandates rather than through layers of management.
• Exclusive, off-market assets — genuine scarcity and quality that larger platforms rarely offer.
• Integrated platform — investment, development, branding, design, wellness, and operations under one roof, so capital you introduce is supported end-to-end.
• Ownership of outcomes — high autonomy, visible impact, and the chance to help shape new brands (including the VSENSI Retreat Collection) from the ground up.
• Lean, high-trust environment — small team, long-term partnerships, conflict-free advisory, and absolute discretion.
• Fully remote, global — work from anywhere while collaborating across Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and beyond.
• Clear path from independent to strategic — success-fee start designed for proven dealmakers, converting to a meaningful full-time role once value is demonstrated.
