Job description

$260k+ OTE | Base commensurate with experience | Uncapped commission

Raise capital for the asset classes shaping the next decade

Private credit, property, energy and digital infrastructure are where serious capital is heading. FivePearls sits at the centre of all four.

We are a fast growing Sydney fund manager holding our own AFSL, with a platform spanning first

mortgage lending, mezzanine debt and preferred equity. Now we are building into energy and digital

infrastructure: powered land for renewable generation and grid connection, and data centre assets built for AI demand. Few managers of our size can offer investors this breadth, and few BDMs get to take it to market.

Everything we do sits within an ethical framework, with independent oversight of how capital is deployed. Investors notice. It opens doors, builds trust quickly and gives you a story no generic product shelf can match. This is not a seat to maintain a book. It is a chance to build one, with the products, the team and the upside to make it count.

Why this role stands out

• Serious earning potential. On target earnings from $260k, a base commensurate with experience plus superannuation, and uncapped commission on every dollar of new capital you settle.
• Products investors want. First ranking secured lending through to mezzanine and preferred equity today, with energy and digital infrastructure opportunities ahead.
• A real point of difference. An ethical investment approach with independent oversight that resonates across a diverse investor base.
• Broad markets. High net worth individuals, SMSF trustees, family offices and values aligned investor communities.
• An exceptional team. Senior leaders with deep experience across institutional finance, technology, property development and government, who move quickly and back their people.
• Direct influence. Work alongside the Managing Director and executive team and help shape product, pricing and go to market.
• Room to grow. As the platform scales into new asset classes, so does your role.

What you will do

Reporting to the Executive Director, Investor Relations, you will bring new wholesale investors, primarily high net worth individuals, into the FivePearls First Mortgage Trust and our mezzanine debt and preferred equity funds. You will:

• Open new relationships and own the full investor journey, from first conversation to settled capital.
• Match each investor to the right product based on return, term, risk and liquidity needs.
• Activate and grow your network of HNWIs, wealth managers, advisers, accountants and SMSF specialists.
• Represent FivePearls at investor events and partner functions, and raise the brand's profile in the wholesale market.
• Run a disciplined pipeline and set the pace of each raise alongside Investor Relations.

What you bring

• At least five to six years in Australian financial services in capital raising, distribution or business development.
• Direct experience raising for private credit or property investment products.
• An evidenced track record of new capital raised from HNWIs and wholesale investors.
• An active network of investors and introducers you can open from your first month.
• Strong command of s708 wholesale investor tests and SMSF investment considerations.
• The credibility to explain risk clearly across senior, mezzanine and equity positions, without ever
• Exposure to development finance, family offices, energy or infrastructure investment, or values aligned investing frameworks will set you apart.
