About the Role
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Head of Investments to lead investment sourcing and acquisition activities for a listed real estate investment platform.
This role is suited to a commercially astute dealmaker who enjoys being in the market, building relationships and uncovering opportunities.

- Prepare and present investment recommendations to senior management and relevant stakeholders
- Work closely with internal and external parties to ensure the smooth completion of transactions
- Lead and develop the investment function while fostering a proactive and results-oriented culture
About the Person
You are a driven and entrepreneurial real estate investment professional with a proven track record of sourcing, originating and completing transactions.
You enjoy being in the field, building networks and creating opportunities. You are naturally proactive, commercially minded and comfortable taking ownership of the deal-making process from start to finish.
To succeed in this role, you will ideally possess:
- Demonstrated experience in real estate investments, acquisitions, corporate real estate, property development or a related field
- A strong track record of originating and executing investment transactions
- Established relationships across the real estate ecosystem and the ability to build new networks quickly
- Experience assessing investment opportunities through financial analysis, valuation review and feasibility studies
- Exposure to multiple property sectors, particularly logistics, industrial, retail and commercial real estate
- Strong commercial judgement and the ability to identify value-enhancing opportunities
- Excellent negotiation, stakeholder management and presentation skills
- Previous leadership experience or the ability to mentor and develop investment professionals
The successful individual will demonstrate a hands-on approach, strong commercial drive and a genuine passion for originating and securing new transactions.
