Real Estate Business Development Manager (Landlord Acquisition & Expansion)

Are you a natural relationship builder who knows how to turn conversations into business opportunities?

Do you enjoy connecting with decision-makers, opening doors to new partnerships, and closing deals?

Smart Suites is growing beyond Brisbane, and we're looking for a driven Business Development Manager to help take us there!

This is your opportunity to play a key role in expanding an Australian hospitality business by building relationships with real estate agents, engaging landlords, and securing new properties across Australia.

We are looking for someone who can do more than sell. We need a proactive dealmaker who can build trust, spot opportunities, negotiate confidently, and keep the pipeline moving.

What You'll Be Doing

• Build new partnerships: Connect with real estate agents, property managers, and landlords across Australia to develop leasing opportunities.
• Drive business growth: Identify new markets, proactively source suitable properties, and establish relationships in expansion areas.
• Pitch and negotiate: Confidently explain our leasing model, handle objections, and progress discussions toward signed agreements.
• Manage your pipeline: Own the sales process from prospecting and initial contact through negotiation, follow-up, and deal conversion.
• Collaborate with the team: Support lease discussions, coordinate property assessments, and help turn opportunities into secured properties.

What We're Looking For

• At least 3 years of experience in business development, B2B sales, real estate, leasing, or related commercial roles.
• Proven ability to generate leads, develop business relationships, negotiate, and close deals.
• Excellent English communication skills, with confidence speaking to Australian clients and decision-makers.
• Strong cold calling, prospecting, presentation, and objection-handling skills.
• Highly organized with experience managing sales pipelines and CRM systems.
• Commercially minded, resourceful, and comfortable handling challenging conversations.
• Self-motivated, persistent, and able to deliver results with minimal supervision.

You'll Have an Advantage If You Have:

• Experience in Australian real estate, property management, or residential leasing.
• Knowledge of Australian property markets and leasing practices.
• Experience developing new territories or business partnerships.
• A background in hospitality, serviced accommodation, or short-term rentals.

A bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Real Estate, or a related field is preferred but not required. We value proven sales performance and relevant experience.

What's In It for You?

• Competitive compensation: AUD 2,000–2,400 per month (negotiable based on experience).
• Work from anywhere in the Philippines: Enjoy a fully remote setup.
• International exposure: Work directly with an established and growing Australian hospitality business.
• Make a real impact: Help drive expansion into new Australian markets and see the results of your efforts.
• Ownership and autonomy: Manage your pipeline, develop partnerships, and take initiative.
• Growth-oriented team: Work with driven professionals who value innovation, accountability, and collaboration.
