The success of Kiwi Property is driven by a diverse team of more than 170 professionals who are guided by our values – we're people, we lead, we have a passion for excellence and we do what’s right.
 
As part of Kiwi’s ongoing investment strategy, the business is looking for a Senior Manager Value and Strategy with a specific focus on strategic initiatives as they relate to funds management and capital transactions. The successful candidate will demonstrate an ability to contribute to investment decision making and capital raising, in addition to leading on feasibility analysis and decision support for the development team, property valuations and fund performance at a property level.

  • Collaborate with the Head of Capital Transactions and Executive Team to develop the annual strategic plan and asset level business plans
  • Contributing to the successful execution of capital transactions and all documentation relating to approval of transactions
  • Providing strategic insights into the property market, assist with deal origination activity for approved mandates and being responsible for the due diligence processes internally
  • General research and observation of relevant market sectors, including the interpretation of all property related research and general economic research for the business
  • Leadership of the internal financial modelling function, including feasibility as it relates to investment or development, strategic portfolio modelling, internal property valuations processes and Investor and Board reporting, inclusive of the management of the corresponding team
To be successful in this role you should be able to demonstrate the following:
