You will work closely with the Country Development Director and Country CEO and coordinate a lean team of internal specialists, external consultants and contractors. We are looking for a developer with a strong commercial mindset, someone who enjoys testing options, challenging assumptions and finding better ways to improve area efficiency, revenues, costs and the overall project business case.


What will be your key responsibilities:

  • Leading projects from feasibility and investment approval through development, construction and handover.
  • Owning and continuously challenging the project business case, value proposition, programme, budget, cash flow and key risks.
  • Preparing and testing feasibility scenarios, alternative uses, layouts and operating models, while translating design and delivery decisions into financial impact.
  • Actively identifying value creation opportunities, including FFA/lettable or saleable area optimisation, revenue enhancement, CAPEX efficiency and alternative commercial concepts.
  • Coordinating design, planning, construction, procurement, leasing, finance, legal and asset management inputs.
  • Appointing and managing external planners, consultants and contractors, while maintaining clear scope, interfaces and accountability.
  • Driving procurement and project delivery through General Contractor and Design & Build structures, including managing Employer's Requirements, change control and commercial challenge.
  • Leading German planning and permitting processes, while managing relationships with relevant authorities and stakeholders.
  • Assessing acquisition and development opportunities and preparing clear recommendations on risks, assumptions and value potential.

What experience should you have:

  • Higher education or a university degree.
  • At least 5 to 8 years of relevant real estate development experience.
  • Hands-on experience in hospitality, PBSA/student housing and/or residential development, with Berlin residential experience is considered a strong advantage.
  • Strong understanding of design, permitting, procurement and construction processes, and their impact on project economics.
  • Experience managing external consultants and contractors; experience with General Contractor and/or Design & Build delivery models is an advantage.
  • Strong commercial and financial acumen, including experience in feasibility studies, development appraisals, budgeting, forecasting and sensitivity analysis.
  • Structured project management approach combined with curiosity, adaptability and a continuous improvement mindset.
  • Entrepreneurial and collaborative leadership style with a proven ability to take initiative, build trust, challenge constructively and foster accountability.
  • Fluent German  and English, both written and spoken.

What do you get in return:

  • Life and accident insurance.
  • Workplace benefits represented by award‑winning, well‑being‑focused offices  with fresh snacks and drinks.
  • A team-oriented working atmosphere with a company social programme.
