Job description

1d ago , from QIC Global Diversified Alternatives

As Manager, Real Estate Strategy, you’ll work closely with the Director of Strategy and teams across QIC Real Estate to help shape the future direction of the platform.

You’ll bring together market intelligence, research, commercial modelling and strategic insight to identify growth opportunities, develop new initiatives, drive new product creation and help turn strategy into action.

This is a role with genuine breadth. One day you might be analysing emerging real estate sectors or the competitive landscape, the next assessing a new product opportunity, building a commercial model, developing a business case or contributing to a major strategic initiative. You’ll also gain exposure to areas including M&A, product development, capital markets and portfolio enhancement

You’ll collaborate across Investment Management, Funds Management, Capital Markets, Economics, Client Solutions, Product Development, Finance, Risk and Legal, giving you a unique view across the broader QIC investment platform

If you enjoy connecting the dots between markets, investment, data and strategy, this is an opportunity to have a real voice in what comes next.

About You

You’re commercially curious and naturally interested in what’s happening across real estate and investment markets, but more importantly, you can translate that information into meaningful insights and recommendations.

You’ll be comfortable moving between the detail and the bigger picture. You can interrogate data, build a model, develop a compelling recommendation and communicate complex thinking clearly to different audiences.

You don’t need everything mapped out for you. You’re proactive, organised and comfortable taking ownership, while also enjoying working with people from different disciplines to solve complex commercial problems.

Key Criteria

We’re looking for someone who brings:

• A degree in Property Economics, Economics, Commerce, Finance or a related discipline.
• A minimum of three years’ experience with exposure to real estate sectors and/or the funds management industry.
• A good understanding of economic and real estate market drivers.
• Strong commercial modelling capability, particularly in Microsoft Excel.
• Experience using research and analysis to inform strategic thinking and decision-making.
• Strong commercial judgment and the ability to assess opportunities through both a strategic and financial lens.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to turn complex information into a clear story.
• Strong relationship and stakeholder management skills, with confidence working across multidisciplinary teams.
• High attention to detail, strong organisation and the ability to take ownership and operate autonomously.
  

Desired Criteria

We’d love to see:

• Exposure to institutional real estate, investment management, funds management or strategy.
• Experience assessing new products, investment opportunities, business cases or strategic initiatives.
• Broader knowledge across areas such as capital markets, development, planning, legal, regulatory or investment product structures
• Experience preparing investment papers, strategic recommendations or commercially focused presentations for senior stakeholders.
• An interest in emerging real estate sectors, changing investor priorities and where the next generation of investment opportunities might come from.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who is curious, commercial and excited by the opportunity to help shape what comes next for QIC Real Estate.
