Reporting into the Head of Business Development & Development Leasing, the Transactions Analyst will provide analytical and execution support across the acquisition and divestment activities of the Dexus Industrial business. Working across an active pipeline of investment opportunities, you will undertake financial modelling, investment analysis and market research, while supporting transactions from initial assessment through due diligence, investment approval and settlement.

• Contributing positively to team culture through a proactive, respectful and solutions-focused approach.

About You

You are commercially minded, motivated and genuinely interested in building your career within the industrial sector. You enjoy working with numbers but can also interpret what the analysis means commercially and communicate your findings clearly.

You will bring:

• A tertiary qualification in property, valuation, commerce, finance, economics, business or a related discipline.
• Demonstrated property financial modelling capability, with the ability to independently build, update and interrogate investment or valuation models.
• Experience with Forbury will be highly regarded.
• An understanding of property investment concepts and key metrics, including IRR, yield-on-cost and equivalent yield.
• Strong Excel and analytical skills, supported by excellent attention to detail.
• Commercial judgement and the ability to assess whether an opportunity warrants further investigation.
• Initiative and a willingness to take ownership, proactively obtain information and keep work moving.
• Strong time management skills and the ability to prioritise across multiple concurrent opportunities.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills.
• A positive and respectful approach, strong work ethic and collaborative team spirit.
