Fund Operations Manager

An established Melbourne-based property investment group is seeking a Fund Operations Manager to play a pivotal role in the creation, implementation and ongoing operation of property investment funds.

This is a hands-on, commercially focused position offering exposure across the full investment lifecycle — from fund structuring and documentation through to compliance, investor reporting and ongoing fund governance.

Operating within a lean, high-performing team, this role suits a technically strong professional who enjoys responsibility, autonomy and working closely with senior decision-makers.

Reporting directly to senior leadership, the Fund Operations Manager will be responsible for ensuring investment funds are established, documented and operated in line with legal, taxation and regulatory requirements.

Key responsibilities include:

Fund Development & Structuring

• Establish new fund and investment structures, including constitutions and associated documentation

• Liaise with legal advisers to prepare and finalise fund documentation

• Partner with capital transactions teams to ensure structures align with investment strategy

• Assess and implement alternative investment structures where appropriate

Investor Documentation

• Coordinate preparation of Information Memorandums, term sheets and disclosure material

• Draft and review investor documentation content

• Manage verification, sign-off and final production processes

Fund Implementation & Operations

• Oversee implementation of funds following capital raising

• Liaise with asset management teams to ensure distributions and investor servicing align with disclosed outcomes

• Ensure ongoing operation of funds remains consistent with stated objectives

Compliance, Legal & Tax

• Maintain compliance with AFSL obligations

• Oversee governance, compliance frameworks and regulatory reporting

• Liaise with external legal, tax and advisory providers

• Ensure day-to-day fund operations comply with statutory and regulatory requirements

You are a technically capable fund operations or investment professional who thrives in a fast-moving, high-accountability environment.

You will ideally bring:

• Experience in fund operations, funds management, investment operations, or financial services - knowledge of prop

• Strong knowledge of managed investment schemes, fund structures and investor documentation

• Understanding of AFSL compliance requirements

• Experience working with legal, tax and external service providers

• Excellent written communication skills with the ability to present complex information clearly

• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple workstreams concurrently

Property or real estate investment exposure will be highly regarded but is not essential.

This organisation operates with a flat structure, high performance standards and a strong emphasis on accountability and trust.

You will work closely with experienced investment professionals in a collaborative environment that values:

• Curiosity and independent thinking

• Continuous learning and professional growth

• Direct and open communication

• High standards of governance and integrity

While transaction periods can be fast-paced, the business supports balance, flexibility and long-term career development.

• High-impact role with exposure across the full investment lifecycle

• Significant autonomy and influence within a small, experienced team

• Opportunity for long-term career growth

• Centrally located Melbourne CBD office
