Development Finance Partners (DFP) is one of Australia’s leading non-bank property finance advisory firms, specialising in complex property transactions ranging from $2M to $100M+ across land, construction, mezzanine and structured finance.
With a strong pipeline, long-standing lender relationships, and ambitious growth plans, we’re looking to appoint a Relationship Manager to work alongside our Directors and Associate Directors on sophisticated property finance transactions.
The Role
This is a senior, high-impact role suited to someone who thrives in complex deal environments and takes genuine ownership of outcomes.
You will be a primary point of contact for new clients and selected high-value clients, responsible for structuring, negotiating, and executing transactions end-to‑end — from strategy through to settlement.
You’ll work on multiple live transactions simultaneously, with a strong focus on conversion, fee optimisation, credit quality, and client outcomes.
Key Responsibilities
* Structure, secure approval for, and settle property finance transactions to maximise fee generation
* Develop project finance strategies, feasibility models, cashflow forecasts and funding tables
* Prepare lender credit submissions, client finance proposals, pitch materials and investment memorandums
* Manage multiple applications per client across land, construction, senior and mezzanine debt
* Negotiate lender pricing, terms and DFP fees to appropriate maximum levels
* Ensure DFP fees are funded and paid at settlement
* Manage conditions precedent through to financial close
* Coordinate valuation processes (IRR, NPV, pricing analysis)
* Maintain accurate deal and client records in HubSpot / CRM
* Build, manage and expand relationships with banks, non-banks, family offices and wholesale funders
* Assist with capital raises and Information Memorandums where required
* Provide guidance and on-the-job support to junior team members
What Success Looks Like
* Consistent conversion of complex transactions
* High-quality credit submissions that meet or exceed lender underwriting standards
* Strong lender and client relationships
* Achievement of fee targets (portfolio impact ~$2.5m p.a.)
* Delighted clients who return and refer
