  • Investor Confidence – Deliver best-in-class investor reporting, performance analytics, and transparent data room management.
  • Technology & AI - Drive AI and ERP systems adoption to automate finance, investor communications, and project controls.
  • Leadership – Mentor and scale the finance team across controllers, fund operations, and FP&A.

About You

  • CA/CPA qualified with 15+ years of finance leadership.
  • Proven background in property development finance and/or funds management.
  • Direct experience engaging with institutional investors, family offices, or private equity.
  • Skilled in capital raising, governance, and structuring wholesale/credit/equity funds.
  • Track record of introducing technology and AI to streamline financial operations.
  • A change leader who blends entrepreneurial execution with institutional credibility.

What We Offer

  • Attractive executive package with base salary + 20–40% performance bonus, linked to fundraising, AI implementation, and institutional readiness milestones.
