Business Development Manager - Real Estate (M/F)

Permanent position

100% workload

DESCRIPTION DE LA MISSION

• Proactively scout for promising real estate prospects, with a focus on underperforming or special-situation commercial properties across Switzerland and Germany.
• Develop and nurture a strong ecosystem of industry contacts-such as brokers, agencies, and regional stakeholders-to secure early access to non-public investment opportunities.
• Track market developments related to distressed properties and businesses approaching insolvency to identify actionable acquisition leads.
• Manage the full origination cycle, including field assessments and preliminary due diligence, before transitioning the case to the transactions team.
• Produce structured, detailed reports covering opportunity assessments, site reviews, and negotiation status to support internal decision-making.
• Represent the company's investment platform with professionalism and energy in the assigned markets, strengthening its visibility and reputation.

PROFIL ATTENDU

• Demonstrated experience in a client-facing or commercial role, ideally with exposure to real estate or strategic business development.
• Entrepreneurial spirit with a proactive, opportunity-seeking mindset and the autonomy to manage deal sourcing and relationship building.
• Professional fluency in German and English (spoken and written) is essential; knowledge of French is considered an advantage.
• Open to regular and flexible travel, including extended stays in Switzerland and Germany, as needed by the business.
• This is not a purely analytical position-the role suits someone with commercial intuition, strong field presence, and a structured but pragmatic approach.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; composed, trustworthy, efficient, and comfortable working in a small, collaborative team environment (approx. 5-6 people).
• You will benefit from internal support on technical evaluations and property-specific expertise to complement your business development efforts.
