Job Description

Portfolio Analyst

QIC Real Estate | Brisbane

Help Shape the Performance of One of Australia's Largest and most established Unlisted Real Estate Funds

As Portfolio Analyst within QIC Real Estate's Funds Management team, you'll be at the centre of investment decision-making for the QIC Property Fund (QPF) - one of Australia's largest and most established unlisted property funds.

You'll work directly with experienced fund managers, gain exposure to large institutional investors, contribute to portfolio strategy, analyse major developments and transactions, and help influence decisions that impact billions of dollars of real estate assets.

This is an exceptional opportunity for an ambitious analyst looking to accelerate their career within a high-performing investment platform.

If you're commercially curious, highly analytical and willing to put in the work, the exposure, development and career pathways available in this role are genuinely second to none.

About the Team

The QPF Funds Management team is a high-performing, collaborative and commercially focused group that sits at the heart of QIC Real Estate.

Known for its strong culture, energy and teamwork, the team partners closely with Investment Management, Development, Asset Management, Finance, Capital Transactions, Valuations and senior leadership to drive investment performance and deliver outcomes for investors.

What makes this team special is its commitment to developing talent. Several team members have progressed their careers internally, building deep expertise and moving into increasingly senior positions across the business. The team takes pride in mentoring early-career professionals and creating opportunities for ambitious people to learn, contribute and grow.

You'll be surrounded by experienced leaders who are invested in your success and willing to provide the support, coaching and exposure needed to help you reach your potential.

About the Role

Based in Brisbane and reporting to the Assistant Fund Manager, you'll play a critical role in owning and maintaining fund models, providing analytical input to portfolio performance, capital management, investor reporting and strategic decision-making across the QIC Property Fund.

You'll become a trusted member of the team, helping transform complex financial and operational data into meaningful insights that drive outcomes for investors.

No two days are the same. One day you could be analysing portfolio performance and running scenario models, while the next you might be preparing materials for institutional investors, reviewing development feasibility outcomes or responding to investor questions.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Maintaining and enhancing sophisticated fund models and analytical frameworks.
  • Conducting portfolio analysis, scenario modelling and performance attribution.
  • Monitoring asset and fund performance against budgets, forecasts and investment objectives.
  • Reviewing development feasibilities and supporting investment decision-making.
  • Supporting capital management activities including liquidity, debt and hedging analysis.
  • Assisting with valuation reviews and portfolio performance assessments.
  • Preparing investor reports, presentations, board papers and governance materials.
  • Coordinating investor communications and supporting investor enquiries.
  • Identifying risks, opportunities and value creation initiatives across the portfolio.
  • Leveraging technology, data and emerging AI tools to drive better decision-making and reporting outcomes.
  • Building relationships across Asset Management, Development, Finance, Legal, Risk and Investor Relations teams.

Why This Role Is Different

This role offers exposure that many analysts spend years trying to access.

You'll have the opportunity to:

  • Work directly with Fund Managers and senior decision-makers.
  • Gain exposure to institutional investors including major superannuation funds and government investment entities.
  • Influence investment, development and capital allocation decisions.
  • Develop expertise across portfolio management, fund strategy and capital management.
  • Present insights and recommendations to senior stakeholders.
  • Build relationships across multiple areas of QIC.
  • Develop highly sought-after skills in modelling, analytics and investment management.
  • Create a pathway into senior analyst, funds management, investment management and broader leadership opportunities.

About You

You're an ambitious early-career professional who enjoys solving complex problems, working with data and understanding what drives investment performance.

While your analytical capability is important, you're equally comfortable communicating insights, building relationships and engaging with stakeholders.

You're someone who wants to learn quickly, take ownership and build a long-term career in funds management and real estate investment.

Most importantly, you're looking for an environment where hard work, curiosity and capability are recognised and rewarded.

Key Requirements

To be successful in this role, you'll bring:

  • 1–3 years' experience in an analytical, investment, finance, property, valuations or funds management environment.
  • Advanced financial modelling expertise and strong Microsoft Excel capability.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to delivering high-quality work.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills.
  • The ability to interpret complex financial and commercial information and communicate it effectively.
  • A proactive approach and strong sense of ownership.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and relationship-building skills.
  • Degree qualifications in Finance, Economics, Commerce, Business, Mathematics, Property or a related discipline.

Desired Experience

We're particularly interested in candidates with experience in one or more of the following areas:

  • Real estate funds management.
  • Property investment or investment management.
  • Portfolio analytics or investment analysis.
  • Property valuations.
  • Investment banking or transaction services.
  • Corporate finance or management consulting.
  • Institutional property investment.
  • Financial modelling, forecasting and scenario analysis.
  • Forbury, Argus Enterprise, Anaplan or Power BI.
  • AI-enabled analytical and reporting tools.
