Senior Analyst – Private Equity Real Estate (Buy-Side)

Institutional Capital | National Transactions | Direct Investment Platform

Join a leading Australian private equity real estate investment firm managing multi-billion-dollar assets across Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane.

We are seeking a high-calibre Senior Analyst with direct transaction experience in commercial real estate acquisitions and capital structuring. This is a buy-side investment execution role with full lifecycle exposure — from initial underwriting and due diligence through to structuring, financing, and transaction close.

You will work directly with senior investment leaders and play a critical role in evaluating and executing institutional-grade real estate transactions.

Schedule:

• Full-Time | Remote (9am - 6pm AEST Hours)

Independent Contractor Benefits

• Long-term, stable engagement
• Permanent work-from-home structure
• Health insurance coverage (location dependent)
• Immediate start available

The Opportunity

This role sits within the investment team and will focus on:

• Direct commercial real estate acquisitions
• Joint venture structuring
• Development and repositioning underwriting
• Debt and equity capital structuring
• Refinancing and recapitalisations
• Investment Committee materials and lender presentations

This is not a valuation control, property management, or corporate finance role. We are seeking a candidate with hands-on private equity real estate transaction experience.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and own detailed acquisition and development financial models (IRR, equity multiple, sensitivity analysis, capital stack structuring)
• Lead asset-level underwriting including cash flow forecasting and feasibility analysis
• Manage due diligence processes alongside legal, technical, and financial advisors
• Assist in negotiating debt facilities and equity structures
• Prepare Investment Committee papers and investor materials
• Support transaction execution through to completion

Required Experience

• 5–8+ years in private equity real estate, real estate investment banking, property development, or institutional real estate funds
• Demonstrated experience underwriting commercial real estate acquisitions
• Experience structuring debt and equity capital stacks
• Advanced Excel modelling (institutional-level acquisition and development models)
• Strong understanding of Australian commercial real estate markets (highly preferred)
• Proven exposure to end-to-end transaction execution

Ideal Background

Candidates may come from:

• Real estate private equity funds
• Institutional property investment managers
• Real estate investment banking teams
• Large-scale property developers
• Big 4 real estate advisory (transaction services / deals)

Why This Role

• Direct exposure to high-value national transactions
• True buy-side investment execution responsibility
• Lean team with senior leadership access
• Fully remote structure aligned to AEST
• Clear pathway to Investment Manager

Side Note

• This is a permanent work-from-home role under an Independent Contractor arrangement. Candidates must have their own computer and reliable internet connection, and are responsible for their own taxes and benefits. Professional hourly fees are established based on your performance in the application process.
