Reporting directly to the CEO, the Business Development Director will be the tip of the spear for strategic growth. You will identify, shape and close opportunities across Co-Living, Built to Rent and Senior Living, unlock new geographic markets, expand third-party property and asset management services, and commercialise technology-enabled solutions to external clients.
This is not a role for spectators. It calls for a sharp commercial mind, rigorous financial modelling expertise and the confidence to negotiate complex deals, structure joint ventures and present bankable opportunities to Executive and Board stakeholders - turning ambition into signed agreements and strategy into scalable revenue.
This mandate will resonate with a commercially astute leader from property or hospitality who understands operating platforms, yield, customer experience and asset-backed growth.
With 10–15+ years of senior business development or investment experience, you are comfortable reading the room as well as the numbers, balancing risk with reward and knowing when to strike while the iron is hot. If you are energised by building new verticals, expanding into untapped markets and leaving a tangible mark on a high-growth platform, this is your opportunity to help shape the future of integrated living solutions in South Africa.
