The Campus is owned by GIC, the Singaporean wealth fund and managed by Oaktree Capital Management. The asset is held in a long duration portfolio.
High Tech Campus Eindhoven is looking for a Senior Asset Manager responsible for closing the gap between the existing letting and technical departments at the Campus.

This may entail decisions about the refurbishment of buildings, the commercial repositioning of buildings (including demolition alternatives) replacement building, letting strategies, bespoke negotiation strategies, multi-tenant strategy, price point strategies, zoning plan initiatives.
Every company at High Tech Campus Eindhoven shares a common goal: to develop new technologies and applications that help to solve problems and challenges, and to successfully bring them to the market. The combination of technology and commercialisation is central to the many tenants and often results in active collaborations between them on the Campus. It is evidence that the unique ecosystem on the Campus is key to their success. As Head of Strategic Asset Management you will also have to familiarize yourself with the various requirements of such tenants to better calibrate the specific layout, composition and configuration of the buildings. This includes choices about laboratory fit outs, office quality and tenant type driven offerings.
Multinationals such as Philips, NXP and Intel, small and medium-sized high-tech companies, research institutes, service companies, scale-ups and startups are working together on the technologies and products of tomorrow. Together, more than 13,000 international researchers, developers and business people on the Campus provide an enormous amount of knowledge and dynamics. They have made High Tech Campus Eindhoven one of the global hotspots in the field of Health & Vitality, Sustainability, Applied Intelligence, Smart Environments & Connectivity and Software & Platforms. Our common facilities aid the collaboration, engagement, meet and greet abilities for our tenant community. Furthermore, the Campus is used by many non-resident companies as a conference venue. This dedicated capacity is also home for many of our popular events which take place on recurring basis. Maintaining those facilities in a start-of-the art nature is critical to fully fit the DNA of the Campus.
