Business Development Manager

What You'll Be Doing

As Business Development Manager at VayK, you are responsible for growing our managed property portfolio. You will identify, approach, and close property owners — converting them from prospects into long-term managed clients. This is the highest-impact commercial role in the company.

You will own the full acquisition cycle: from lead generation and first outreach to property tours, proposals, and signed management agreements. You'll also work closely with our operations team to ensure a smooth handover once a deal closes.

Core Responsibilities

• Proactively identify and qualify property owner leads via real estate agents, brokers, investor networks, and direct outreach
• Conduct property assessments and present VayK's management offering to prospective owners
• Own the full sales cycle from first contact to signed agreement
• Build and maintain a structured pipeline — track progress in CRM and report weekly
• Partner with the marketing team on owner-facing campaigns and content
• Attend industry events, property expos, and networking sessions to build relationships
• Provide feedback from the market to inform service and pricing strategy
• Work with operations to ensure a seamless onboarding experience for new owners

What We're Looking For

• 3–6 years of B2C or B2B sales experience, ideally in Dubai real estate, property management, or hospitality
• Track record of hitting and exceeding revenue targets in a consultative sales environment
• Strong communicator in English; additional languages (Arabic, Russian, French, German) are a significant advantage
• Self-starter — you don't need a script to pick up the phone and book a meeting
• Understanding of Dubai's property market and the short-term rental landscape
• Comfortable with CRM tools, data-driven pipeline management, and regular reporting
• UAE driving licence preferred

What Makes This Role Different

Most BD roles in property management in Dubai involve being handed leads and following a script. This one doesn't. You'll be expected to build the pipeline, shape the pitch, and have real input on the commercial strategy of a growing company.

You'll work directly with the founders. There is no committee approval process, no waiting for sign-off on a proposal. If you have a good idea, you act on it.
