Senior Development Analyst

The Role.. Soho House is growing at pace, with a strong global pipeline of new site acquisitions, conversions and developments. The Senior Analyst, Development is a high-potential, analytically driven role that will own the financial modelling, feasibility analysis and underwriting outputs that underpin Soho House's new site development programme, ensuring every opportunity in the pipeline is supported by rigorous, well-structured and presentation-ready financial analysis.

Approximately 80% of this role is dedicated to development finance and underwriting. The Senior Analyst will be responsible for building and maintaining financial models, preparing investment decks, maintaining the development pipeline tracker, and coordinating inputs from across the business. In addition to underwriting individual development projects, the role will support the enhancement of Soho House’s development underwriting standards and methodologies, strengthening capital discipline, improving decision‑making quality and supporting a scalable, repeatable acquisition and development process as the business continues to grow.

The remaining 20% of the role provides broader support to the Executive Strategy Director on Executive-level, cross-functional priorities, materials, and ad hoc strategic analysis, providing the role with a holistic view into the Company’s priorities. This is an ideal role for someone with a strong finance or investment background who wants to deepen their expertise in development finance and learn about the many facets of running a fast-moving, brand-led global business, with direct exposure to senior leadership and Board-level decision-making. This role reports directly to the Executive Strategy Director, working in close partnership with Finance, Development, Design, Legal, and Operations.

Key Responsibilities

Stress-test models against a range of scenarios and capital structures, surfacing key risks and partnering with the Executive Strategy Director to align on inputs to underpin the recommended proposal for Leadership approval. Ensure models are accurate, well-structured and auditable, built to a standard that can be presented to senior leadership and the Board.

Update models as deal terms, operational assumptions or market conditions evolve throughout the development process. Support post-opening performance reviews, comparing actual outcomes against underwriting assumptions and identifying key variances and learnings to feed back into future models. Underwriting Decks Investment Materials Own the end-to-end preparation of underwriting decks and investment papers, translating financial model outputs into clear, compelling narratives for senior leadership and the Board.

Prepare supporting materials for development pipeline reviews, including summary outputs, one-pagers and scenario comparison slides. Ensure all investment materials are presentation-ready, well-designed and communicate the right level of detail for the intended audience. Maintain and continuously improve underwriting templates and standards, ensuring consistency across all development opportunities.

Pipeline Coordination Cross-Team Input Coordinate the collection of assumptions and inputs from Development, Legal, Operations and FP A, sourcing, consolidating and quality-checking information from across the business. Hold cross-functional stakeholders accountable for delivering their inputs on time, escalating delays to the Executive Strategy Director as needed.
