Our client is a privately backed, rapidly growing real estate investment and funds management platform with an active pipeline of major Australian property transactions.
This is an opportunity to join a lean, highly experienced investment team and work directly with the Managing Director across acquisitions, financial modelling, transaction execution and portfolio strategy.
The successful candidate will gain genuine principal-side responsibility - helping determine where capital should be invested rather than simply advising on or facilitating transactions.

Build and maintain detailed acquisition, DCF, leveraged return, debt and equity models
Undertake asset, market, tenant, lease and comparable-transaction analysis
Evaluate investment returns, financing structures and key commercial risks
Coordinate due diligence with valuers, lawyers, lenders, agents and technical advisers
Prepare investment committee papers, investment memoranda and senior management presentations
Support acquisitions, disposals, restructures and recapitalisations
Monitor portfolio performance against acquisition assumptions and business plans
Contribute to fund strategy, asset planning and long-term investment decisions
