At Benkey, you will work within an ambitious finance boutique that brings together investors and real estate. As an Investor Relations Intern, you will support the team in maintaining and expanding investor relationships and gain a unique insight into the world of real estate investments.

You will work closely with experienced professionals and be given the space to learn, take responsibility, and grow alongside a rapidly professionalising organisation.

Benkey is fully committed to securing the best real estate deals, driven by its clear mission to grow investments and create a stable, hassle-free income for its investors. Benkey believes that success in business is synonymous with strong relationships; therefore, investors are more than just clients to Benkey. Benkey’s various investment products are fully focused on real estate investments, both through fund structures and deal-by-deal opportunities. With a track record of more than 10 years and hundreds of affiliated investors, there is significant potential for continued growth in the future.

We strive to optimally manage, develop, and grow our real estate portfolio. As a finance boutique, we are entrepreneurial, agile, and highly committed. The coming period is marked by strong growth and professionalisation, supported by the submitted application for an AIFMD license. The ambition is to grow to an investment volume of €500 million within five years.

Our DNA is shaped by entrepreneurship, engagement, and a drive to make a difference—for our investors, our partners, and each other.

We are ambitious, yet remain personal. As a young and growing organisation, we aim to innovate the real estate industry with smart financial solutions that create long-term value. We believe that growth is only sustainable when accompanied by trust, transparency, and respect.

Our team consists of bold professionals: people who take responsibility, show ownership, and continuously develop themselves. We work together, share knowledge, and celebrate successes, both big and small. What unites us is a shared belief that quality and hospitality are inseparably linked. At Benkey, you will not find a standard mentality, but a culture in which ambition, service, and integrity go hand in hand.
