Want to use your analytical skills to influence meaningful property and investment decisions?

Ngāi Tahu Holdings is looking for a commercially minded Property Analyst to join our Finance team in Ōtautahi. This is a newly shaped opportunity for someone who enjoys turning financial, project and market information into clear insights that support better decision-making.

You’ll work closely with our Property and Finance kaimahi, supporting development feasibility, investment analysis, forecasting, project reporting and portfolio performance, across a property portfolio valued at more than $800 million. This is a role where your modelling skills, attention to detail and commercial thinking will directly support the growth and protection of the tribal pūtea for Ngāi Tahu Whānui - mō tātou, ā, mō kā uri ā muri ake nei.

Mō te tūranga | About the role

Reporting to the Finance Business Partner and working closely with senior leaders across Finance and Property, the Property Analyst will provide high-quality financial analysis, modelling and reporting to support property development, investment and asset management decisions.

You will play a key role in helping leaders understand project performance, investment opportunities, risks, cashflow requirements and portfolio trends.

In This Role, You Will

• Build, own and maintain detailed development feasibility models to support investment, funding and delivery decisions.

• Experience with development project modelling, feasibility analysis or property reporting would be an advantage.
• A relevant tertiary qualification in property, finance, economics, valuation or a related discipline.
