Job description

Overview

WiseStay is a licensed luxury holiday home operator located in Business Bay, Dubai. As we enter our next growth stage, we are seeking a highly experienced, independent Business Development Manager to take full ownership of our property acquisition, landlord partnerships, and sales operations.

This is not a traditional sales job. This is a key leadership role for someone who has experience in the Dubai real estate or short-term rental industry and wants to be part of building and leading a business unit from scratch.

Important:

This role requires a minimum of 2 years experience in holiday homes, short-term rentals, or Dubai real estate leasing. Only serious applicants will be considered.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive growth by signing up new properties under WiseStay’s holiday home management model
• Manage the full sales lifecycle: from lead generation to deal closure and onboarding
• Build relationships with landlords, agents, developers, and investors
• Recruit and train a future business development team under your leadership
• Coordinate closely with the founder and marketing team to align growth campaigns
• Represent WiseStay at meetings, events, and partnership discussions
• Suggest and implement growth strategies (pricing, areas to target, sales tools)
• Use CRM software to track pipeline, performance, and reporting
• Maintain operational oversight of new property onboarding (photos, listings, system setup)
• Think and act like a growth partner, not an employee — your success is tied to WiseStay’s

What We Offer

• Salary:AED 6,000–12,000/month based on experience + commission
• Commission: High-performance commission per signed unit
• Bonuses: Incentives for performance milestones and team growth
• Office: Park Lane Tower, Office 0811, Business Bay, Dubai
• Working with Founder: You’ll report directly to the founder and help shape WiseStay’s future
• Freedom & Trust: This is your department to lead — you are expected to make decisions and move fast
• Career Path: Grow into Head of Business Development or Operations Director as the company scales

Skills

• 2+ years of experience in holiday homes, short-term rentals, or real estate leasing in Dubai
• Deep understanding of landlord relations and STR regulations
• Proven experience closing property management or rental deals
• Previous experience hiring or leading a team is a strong advantage
• Self-motivated and decisive — can run independently without micromanagement
• Comfortable working in a startup, fast-growth environment
• Growth mindset: sees themselves as a business builder, not just a job seeker
• Fluent in English (Arabic is a strong plus, but not mandatory)
• Strong negotiation, sales, and follow-up skills
• Familiarity with CRM systems, property portals, and online booking platforms (Airbnb, Booking.com, etc.)

Final Note

You will not be a small part of a big machine — you will be a big part of a growing company. At WiseStay, your ideas matter, your decisions shape our future, and your growth is tied directly to our success.
