We are seeking a commercially driven Valuations Director or Partner to join a leading Deals / Advisory practice, with a core focus on real estate and infrastructure assets.
This is not a pure technical valuation role. You will operate at the intersection of valuations, transactions, and strategic advisory, acting as a trusted advisor on complex, high-profile deals while originating and leading client mandates.
You will make a significant contribution towards the firm’s real estate valuations and advisory capability, working closely with Deals, Audit, and Tax teams, and playing a key role in shaping the firm’s market presence.

- Office
- Industrial & logistics
- Data centres
- Healthcare / living sectors (e.g. aged care, retirement living, hospitals)
- Infrastructure and alternative assets (including energy / renewables)
- Provide commercial and technical input across:
- Transaction advisory (buy-side / sell-side due diligence)
- Financial reporting valuations (IFRS / AASB fair value)
- Purchase price allocations (PPA)
- Tax and restructuring valuations
- Act as a real estate specialist within Deals, supporting large-scale transactions and complex structuring decisions
- Serve as a valuation expert in audit engagements, reviewing third-party valuations, methodologies, and key assumptions
- Own and grow senior client relationships across REITs, institutional investors, private equity, developers, and government
- Drive revenue and pipeline development, identifying and converting new opportunities within existing and new clients
- Build, lead, and scale a high-performing team, including onshore and offshore resources
- Collaborate across multidisciplinary teams on large, complex mandates

- Strong background in both valuations and transaction advisory, with exposure to:
- Financial due diligence
- Deal execution
- Commercial structuring
- Deep expertise across commercial real estate and infrastructure, with exposure to alternative sectors (e.g. healthcare, energy, data centres)
- Demonstrated experience in:
- Leading and originating client engagements
- Building and scaling revenue streams or practice areas
- Acting as a trusted advisor on complex, high-value transactions
- Strong technical grounding in valuation methodologies (DCF, capitalisation, etc.), with the ability to apply them in a commercial, deal-driven context
- Experience working alongside audit teams as a valuation specialist
- Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence at C-suite and investor level
- Relevant qualifications such as API (CPV), CA, CFA, RICS or equivalent
What’s on Offer
- A Director or Partner role with responsibility for revenue growth and market leadership
- Access to high-profile, large-scale transactions and tier-one clients
