Real Estate Risk Management Analyst jobs

In 2024, a group of lifelong friends in Brisbane turned a handful of properties into a thriving short-term rental business. With no playbook — just determination, grit, and a clear vision — Smart Suites was born.

One year later, we now manage 100+ short-stay listings across Rocklea, Sunnybank, Acacia Ridge, Carina, and Kuraby. We work with major clients, adopt AI-driven tools to streamline operations, and build a culture that feels more like a sports team than a company — accountable, collaborative, and driven by results.

We are expanding through acquisitions — including motels, leasehold businesses, and land opportunities — and we are looking for a highly analytical finance professional to support our growth strategy.

This is not an accounting role.
This is not a back-office finance role.

This is a real estate investment and capital strategy position.

If you have experience in real estate feasibility, corporate finance, commercial banking, or investment analysis — and want exposure to deal structuring and capital raising — this role is for you.
