Your New Role

Join our Investment Control team as a Valuations Analyst and contribute to the effective valuation and governance of Aware Super’s directly held private assets across infrastructure, private equity, private credit and property.

Based in Sydney, you will work closely with valuation specialists, investment teams, independent valuers and auditors. You will help coordinate external valuations, critically assess valuation assumptions and models, and support accurate, timely reporting for senior management, boards and committees.

This is an opportunity to deepen your private-markets expertise while contributing to decisions that support strong governance and outcomes for our members.

What you'll do:

• Coordinate external valuation engagements, including information requests, meetings, reports and valuation updates
• Review valuation models and independent reports, checking inputs, key assumptions, methodologies and outputs
• Analyse market movements and assess whether assets may require an out-of-cycle valuation
• Prepare clear valuation papers, board reports and committee materials
• Review unlisted-asset unit prices and fund manager valuation policies
• Undertake market research, transactional analysis, stress testing and back-testing of previous valuations
• Support financial reporting, audit activity and the ongoing improvement of valuation controls, processes and governance

How do you exceed our expectations?

You are an analytical and commercially minded professional who is comfortable working with financial models, interpreting complex information and applying sound judgement.

You will bring:

• Relevant experience in valuations, corporate finance, transaction services, investment analysis, fund accounting or a related field
• Strong financial modelling and analytical capability, with the ability to test assumptions and draw well-reasoned conclusions
• An understanding of valuation approaches and relevant accounting standards, including IFRS and AASB requirements
• The confidence to constructively challenge assumptions and explain your recommendations clearly
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to prepare concise reports and papers
• Experience coordinating work across internal stakeholders and external service providers
• A degree in accounting, finance or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant experience
• A CA, CPA, CFA or CAIA qualification, or progress towards one, would be valued but is not essential
