City of Melbourne, Australia ClearCompany Full time

Overview

Are you an experienced real estate finance professional looking to take the next step in your career? Do you thrive in an entrepreneurial environment where you can directly impact business growth and strategy?

Our client is a highly respected and rapidly growing boutique real estate financier based in Melbourne. Backed by a well-capitalised principal investment firm, this firm has built an impressive track record of delivering strong risk-adjusted returns while maintaining a highly strategic and disciplined investment approach.

Due to continued growth and increasing capital inflows, they are seeking a dynamic and motivated finance professional to lead the origination of real estate finance transactions. This is a rare opportunity to be the key driver of deal origination in a fund with significant principal and external capital, a strong market presence, and an exciting expansion strategy.

As a senior leader, you will play a critical role in shaping the business, contributing to strategy, product development, and broader market positioning. You will also be supported by an experienced execution and portfolio management team, allowing you to focus on deal-making, growth, and investor relations.

What You’ll Do

- Source and originate high-quality real estate finance transactions across Victoria and nationally where aligned.

- Develop and maintain strong relationships with borrowers, brokers, developers, and key market stakeholders.

- Lead deal structuring, negotiations, and execution while ensuring transactions align with the fund’s risk-return objectives.

- Shape and execute the firm’s expansion strategy, working closely with leadership to drive business growth.

- Identify new market opportunities and contribute to the development of innovative financing solutions.

- Represent the firm at industry events, building brand presence and expanding market reach.

- Work with leadership to enhance investor relations and capital deployment strategies.

- Engage with external wholesale investors, providing market insights and pipeline updates.

- Assist in positioning the fund to attract new investment partners and scale the platform.

What We’re Looking For

- A proven track record in real estate finance origination with strong industry networks.

- Deep expertise in structured finance, credit analysis, and deal structuring for real estate transactions.

- Experience in investment management is preferred, but banking or broking backgrounds will also be considered.

- Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to work independently while collaborating with leadership on strategic initiatives.

- Strong relationships with developers, brokers, and other market participants.

- Passion for business growth, investment performance, and client relationship management.

What’s on Offer

- Access to both principal and external capital.

- A senior leadership role and the ability to influence business strategy, product development and growth.

- An opportunity to join a well-capitalised fund at a key growth stage and plans to double in size over the coming years.

- A dynamic, entrepreneurial culture and experienced team.

- Competitive remuneration, aligned with experience and performance.
