Head of Capital Transactions

A rare opportunity to help lead the next phase of growth for one of Melbourne's most respected independent real estate investment groups – Forza Capital. This newly created role has been established to support a clearly defined growth plan, working alongside the Directors and Head of Capital, together with a high-performing Melbourne-based team. Opportunities of this calibre, seniority, founder-facing and newly created, rarely present themselves in the Melbourne market.

ABOUT FORZA CAPITAL

Forza Capital is an independently owned Australian real estate investment group with a sixteen-year track record of disciplined, high-conviction investing. Since inception, the business has executed 24 real estate investments totalling $1.55 billion in transactional activity, delivering an average net IRR of 19.7 per cent (after fees) across completed funds and 15 exits to date.
Operating across the office, industrial and retail sectors in Melbourne and Sydney, Forza Capital describes itself as “investors, not fund managers”: a business built on patient capital, hands-on asset management and long-term relationships rather than growth for its own sake. The Directors remain closely involved in every transaction, and this role has been created to support the next stage of the business's expansion.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Reporting to, and working directly alongside the Directors, the Head of Capital Transactions will take a lead role in originating, structuring and executing real estate transactions across the group's investment mandates. You will be a highly visible, trusted advisor at the centre of the business, with genuine influence over strategy, deal selection and outcomes, while working closely with a talented and collaborative Melbourne team.

• Partner directly with the senior leadership to shape and deliver the business's growth strategy
• Manage transaction due diligence, negotiations and settlement processes, working alongside legal, finance and asset management teams
• Build and maintain relationships with vendors, selling agents, capital partners and other market participants
• Prepare investment papers, financial models and board-level recommendations
• Mentor and support members of the capital transactions team

ABOUT YOU

• Significant experience in real estate capital transactions, capital markets or institutional investment sales, gained within a top-tier agency and/or an institutional investor, fund manager or property trust
• A demonstrated track record of originating and executing commercial real estate transactions
• Strong financial modelling, valuation and negotiation capability
• The credibility, judgement and communication skills to operate directly with founders, capital partners and senior stakeholders
• A relevant tertiary qualification in property, finance, commerce or a related discipline is advantageous
• Based in Melbourne, or genuinely open to relocating

WHAT'S ON OFFER

• A newly created, high-impact leadership role with direct exposure to the founders of the business
• The opportunity to help shape a clearly defined growth strategy building on a great foundation
• An attractive remuneration & incentive package
• A collaborative, high-performing Melbourne-based team culture
• Genuine long-term career progression within a growing, independent investment business
