Senior / Principal Recruitment Consultant

Senior / Principal Recruitment Consultant — Real Estate Investment, Funds & Asset Management Sydney, New South Wales | 360 Billing Role

The Opportunity

Are you an experienced recruitment consultant ready to take your career to the next level in Australia's largest and most dynamic property market? We are looking for a driven Senior or Principal Consultant to join our Property division in Sydney, specialising in the placement of senior Real Estate Investment, Funds and Asset Management talent across some of the world's most sophisticated platforms.

This is a genuine 360 billing role — you'll own the full recruitment cycle, from business development and client relationship management through to candidate sourcing, assessment, and offer management. You'll be operating in a highly specialised, high-value market with strong demand and a warm client base to build from.

About the Business

We are a globally recognised recruitment firm with a single, clear focus: Property, Construction and Energy. Over more than a decade, we have built an outstanding reputation as a leading authority in our chosen sectors, placing professionals across the full spectrum of the project lifecycle — from investment and capital markets through to construction and asset management. With offices spanning Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the Middle East, the UK, and North America, our global reach and deeply specialised knowledge set us apart from generalist recruiters.

Sydney is our flagship office and the heartbeat of our Australian operation — giving you access to the deepest client relationships, the strongest candidate networks, and the full weight of a globally connected team behind you from day one.

Our Property division is home to specialist consultants with an unsurpassed level of experience across Asia Pacific, North America and Europe. We are strategically aligned with the world's leading real estate investment and fund management platforms, and our client base is a genuine who's who of the industry. We believe our point of difference lies in our ability to operate at executive search level whilst showing the adaptability to work through the full value chain of recruitment needs.

The Market You'll Work In

You'll be focused on the investment, funds and asset management side of real estate, partnering with clients that include:

• Private Equity Groups
• Sovereign Wealth Funds
• Pension Funds
• Superannuation Funds
• Investment Trusts
• Private Owners
• Property Agencies

Roles you'll place will span fund management, investment management, asset management, capital markets, acquisitions, portfolio management and investor relations — working with professionals from analyst through to Managing Director and C-suite level.

What We're Looking For

We're open to candidates at Senior Consultant or Principal Consultant level. What matters most is your track record and your drive. You'll bring:

• Proven experience as a 360 recruitment consultant, ideally within real estate, investment management, financial services, or a related professional services discipline
• A strong business development mindset with the confidence to build and manage relationships with senior stakeholders at leading investment and fund management platforms
• Experience or genuine interest in the Real Estate investment and funds management space (sector knowledge is advantageous but not essential — what you know about recruiting and building a desk matters most)
• The ability to work autonomously while contributing to a collaborative, high-performance team culture
• Ambition to grow — whether that's building a desk from strength to strength or progressing into a leadership role over time

What's On Offer

We believe in rewarding our people exceptionally well. Here's what you can expect:

• Commission up to 40% — one of the most competitive schemes in the market
• Relocation assistance — if you're based interstate or overseas and ready for a move to Sydney, we will support you to get here
• Private medical insurance — your health matters to us
• A genuinely specialist platform with a strong brand, established client relationships, and the resources of a global business
• A clear career pathway with real progression opportunities
• The autonomy to build your desk your way, backed by a team that knows the market inside out
