This is a rare senior leadership opportunity for an experienced capital raiser to take ownership of private wealth distribution and play a defining role in shaping the investor strategy of an established and growing real estate private credit platform.

Why This Role?

This is a genuine platform-building mandate - not a relationship maintenance role. You will have the autonomy to design and execute a private wealth distribution strategy from the ground up, backed by a high-calibre investment team with a compelling track record in Australian real estate private credit. For a senior capital markets professional seeking tangible, lasting impact at a platform with real momentum, opportunities like this are rare.

What You'll Be Doing

• Take ownership of capital raising across the private wealth channel — private banks, wealth advisers, family offices and high-net-worth investors
• Drive fundraising across senior, mezzanine and structured development finance strategies
• Build and execute domestic and selected offshore distribution strategies
• Cultivate strategic partnerships with private banks, wealth management firms and investment advisory groups
• Lead investor roadshows, presentations and direct meetings with both prospective and existing capital partners
• Work closely with the Origination team to translate pipeline activity and portfolio performance into compelling investor narratives
• Oversee all investor-facing materials including presentations, fund updates and due diligence documentation
• Provide market intelligence on investor sentiment, competitive dynamics and capital flows to inform product development and broader strategy

What We're Looking For

• Significant experience in private capital raising with a strong emphasis on private wealth distribution
• An established and active network across private banks, wealth advisers, family offices and high-net-worth investors
• Demonstrated track record raising capital for alternative investments — ideally within private credit or real estate strategies
• Deep understanding of Australian real estate debt markets and private capital structures
• Strong commercial acumen with the ability to distil complex investment strategies into clear, compelling investor propositions
• Exceptional communication, presentation and senior stakeholder management skills
• Comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy, seniority and accountability
