The Opportunity

Gough Recruitment is exclusively partnering with a privately backed, well-capitalised real estate investment and funds management platform to appoint an accomplished Investment Analyst.

This is a rare opportunity to join a lean, highly experienced investment team responsible for significant institutional-grade Australian property investments.
Working directly with the Managing Director and senior investment team, you will take ownership across acquisition underwriting, complex financial modelling, transaction execution, investment committee recommendations and ongoing portfolio strategy.

Unlike a traditional advisory position, this role places you on the principal side—helping determine where capital should be invested and taking responsibility for the investment case from initial assessment through to execution and ownership.

Key Responsibilities

- Assess and underwrite institutional real estate acquisitions.
- Build and interrogate complex Forbury financial models.
- Lead financial analysis, due diligence and transaction execution.
- Prepare investment committee papers and recommendations.
- Monitor portfolio performance and support investment strategy.

About You





This chance is intended for a high-calibre real estate investment professional with strong institutional transaction experience.
To be considered, you will bring:

- 4+ years’ experience across institutional real estate investment, acquisitions, funds management or investment banking.
- Hands-on Forbury experience is essential; applications without it will not be considered.
- Advanced DCF, IRR, leveraged-return and debt/equity modelling capability.
- Experience with institutional property transactions, ideally above $50 million.
- Solid investment judgement and investment committee paper experience.

A background combining investment banking or transaction advisory training with subsequent principal-side institutional property experience would be particularly attractive.

CFA progress or completion would be advantageous.

Why Consider This Opportunity

This is a rare opportunity within a highly active and well-capitalised investment platform with direct exposure to the Managing Director within a lean, well-capitalised platform.
