Business Development Manager - Portfolio Owner Partnerships (Saudi National)

Deluxe Holiday Homes is a UAE-based property management company expanding into Saudi Arabia. We are hiring a Saudi national to originate and close management agreements with building owners, portfolio landlords, family offices, developers and large residential asset owners. This role is focused on large portfolio / building-level partnerships, not single-unit sourcing.

Key responsibilities

• Identify and win building owners, multi-unit landlords, developers, family offices and institutional owners for short-term rental / holiday home management agreements
• Build a qualified pipeline through direct outreach, broker networks, referrals, field visits and owner relationships
• Lead meetings, presentations, financial proposals and commercial negotiations through signature
• Assess asset fit, scale, readiness and onboarding potential
• Manage CRM pipeline and hand over signed properties to onboarding and operations teams
• Maintain strong owner relationships and drive repeat portfolio growth

Requirements

• Saudi national; fluent Arabic and English; valid Saudi driving license
• 5+ years in business development, partnerships or sales in property management, hospitality, serviced apartments, real estate brokerage, developer relations, asset management or investment sales
• Proven track record closing management agreements or building / portfolio-level real estate deals
• Existing network in Riyadh with building owners, portfolio landlords, developers, brokers, family offices or asset managers
• Strong commercial, negotiation and presentation skills with senior decision-makers
• Comfortable with field sales, owner meetings and long-cycle deal making
• CRM proficiency; understanding of Saudi short-term rental / tourism accommodation rules is a plus

Important filter:

• Must have closed multi-unit or building-level deals
• Must have sold to owners/investors, not tenants or retail buyers
• Must understand management contracts, not just leasing
