Investment Manager

Investment Manager NestFrame - Stockholm More people want the freedom to move without giving up a sense of belonging. Across Europe, founders are building coliving and hospitality businesses around that idea. At NestFrame, we bring those businesses together. Their founders keep leading locally, and we give them the capital and tools to grow as part of a larger group, organically and through continued M&A. In twelve months, we brought Colive, Udda and The Nooq together in Scandinavia, grew from 374 to around 1,400 homes and turned group EBITDA positive. Germany and Spain are next. We’re hiring our first Investment Manager to help build that European group through acquisitions and organic growth. Working alongside CEO Niklas Andersson, you’ll take deals and project analysing from the first conversation with a founder through to closing, then help turn the investment case into results. You’ll also assess organic growth projects, modelling the investment required and expected returns. The role You’ll report to the CEO and work closely with the chair, the CFO, the board and our regional leaders. You’ll work on acquisitions that establish us in new markets and add to the regions where we already operate. We’re a lean team, so you’ll work on directly as well as manage every stage of a deal and help build our M&A processes and tools as we grow. What you’ll lead · Find the businesses we should buy. Map markets, screen operators and build relationships with founders across Europe. Own the acquisition pipeline and CRM, supported by data on operators and market trends. · Build the investment case. Model valuations, operating performance and synergies at unit and portfolio level. Write investment memos and present recommendations to management and the board. · Structure and close acquisitions. Work with the CEO and CFO on cash consideration, earn-outs, founder reinvestment and incentives. Negotiate terms and drive deals through signing and closing. · Coordinate due diligence. Lead the work with legal, financial and commercial advisers and use the findings to inform our decisions and terms. · Follow the business after closing. Support integration and track performance against the investment case. Contribute to capital raising through investor materials and the group’s investment story. Who you are You’re motivated by building a company and seeing what the businesses you acquire can become. You want to understand an operator’s economics and underlying business, get to know its founder and work out whether we can grow together. You’re comfortable building a detailed valuation model and having the conversations that move a deal forward. You’ve spent four to eight years in M&A, private equity, corporate finance or transaction services. You take responsibility in a fast-moving business where the team and processes are still taking shape. Because founders keep leading locally after an acquisition, you know that trust and sound judgement matter throughout the deal and beyond. What you bring · Hands-on experience across the full deal process, from sourcing and valuation to due diligence, negotiation and closing. · Strong financial modelling and valuation skills, with the ability to write clear investment memos and present to management and boards. · Strong relationship skills and confidence working directly with founders and sellers. · Fluent English and a willingness to travel across Europe while working hands-on in a lean team. Experience in a buy-and-build group, add-on acquisitions or post-merger integration is valuable, as is work with earn-outs and founder reinvestment. A background in real estate, hospitality, coliving or other lease-based operators is useful, particularly master leases, management agreements and hotel revenue sharing. German, Spanish, Swedish or another Nordic language is a plus, as is experience using data, automation and AI in sourcing and analysis. What we offer A central role in building a European group, with responsibility for live acquisitions from day one. You’ll work closely with the CEO, board and experienced founders, help shape the M&A function and join the company’s long-term incentive programme. Our Scandinavian business is already profitable, with Germany and Spain next. About NestFrame NestFrame is headquartered in Stockholm and has around 60 employees. Our Scandinavian business includes Colive for flexible coliving, Udda for serviced living and The Nooq, which brings coliving into hospitality.
