Rare true buy-side seat — originate, negotiate and execute deals end-to-end Well-capitalised client — deals don't die in committee Competitive package + real runway to progress Buy-side.
Deal-led.
Let's be honest about the Perth market, genuine acquisitions seats are rare.
Most "land" roles here are development management with a bit of buying attached, or origination roles where every deal dies in an investment committee that can't fund it.
This is neither.
Our client is one of the most active and well-capitalised property groups in this market, with a mandate spanning multiple asset classes in metro and growth-corridor WA.
They are looking for an Acquisitions Manager to run transactions end-to-end, originate and assess opportunities, drive the feasibility and DCF analysis, lead due diligence and consultant teams, negotiate terms, and take contracts through to execution.
What you'll actually be doing Running financial feasibility and discounted cashflow analysis on live opportunities, not one product type on repeat.
Leading negotiations and structuring transactions through to signed contracts.
Managing external consultants incl legal, planning, environmental, valuation through due diligence.
Presenting your recommendations directly to the people who make the final call.
Originating: working agents, landowners and industry relationships to shape the forward pipeline.




Why this seat is different The scarcity works both ways.
Just as there are few true acquisitions roles in Perth, there are few buyers with this client's ability to transact, capital ready to deploy, and the conviction to keep buying when others pause.
For someone building a career in transactions, the deal sheet you'll assemble here is the asset.
Who we're looking for You're currently in acquisitions, development, valuation, transaction advisory or funds management, and the deal side is the part of your job you'd keep if you could drop the rest.
You can build and defend a feasibility model, you're comfortable in a negotiation, and you present well to senior decision makers.
A property-related degree (valuation, planning, economics or similar) or equivalent experience; AAPI or MRICS well regarded but not essential.
Perth-based or genuinely committed to being here.
If you've been waiting for a real acquisitions seat to open in this market, this is the call to make.
