• Undertaking internal valuations for investments not externally valued to support timely and accurate reporting. 

• Managing valuation risk through robust documentation, including drafting valuation reports, papers and supporting memos. 

• Liaising with asset class, portfolio management and fund operations teams on valuation matters and outcomes. 

• Supporting the development, refinement and implementation of valuation control processes and documentation. 

• Engaging with internal and external stakeholders including the Valuation Committee, auditors and advisers to meet governance obligations. 

• Monitoring asset performance and market conditions to identify potential out‑of‑cycle valuation requirements. 

• Contributing to the evolution of valuation processes and providing coaching and support to junior team members. 

What You’ll Need 

• Tertiary qualifications in Commerce or a related discipline. 

• Significant experience within a valuation team, institutional investor or corporate advisory environment. 

• Strong technical valuation skills, including experience reviewing reports, analysing data and forming sound valuation conclusions. 

• Experience valuing unlisted assets, particularly infrastructure or infrastructure‑adjacent investments. 

• Well‑developed written and verbal communication skills, with confidence presenting to senior stakeholders. 

• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and stakeholder relationships. 

• Postgraduate qualifications such as CA/CPA or CFA, advanced financial modelling capability and familiarity with market data platforms will be highly regarded.
