Job description

Business Development Manager – Property Management

Build a rent roll. Earn from multiple revenue streams. Help shape the future of one of Cairns' fastest-growing property businesses.

Cozie Homes is an established holiday accommodation business managing almost 180 properties across Cairns. As we continue to grow Cozie Residential, we're looking for an ambitious Business Development Manager to lead the expansion of our long-term management portfolio.

Unlike many BDM roles, you're not starting from scratch.

You'll benefit from an established brand, ongoing owner enquiries generated through our holiday management business, dedicated marketing support and the opportunity to build a residential division with genuine long-term career progression.

While your primary focus is growing Cozie Residential, you'll also have the opportunity to generate additional income by onboarding holiday rental properties and developing corporate accommodation partnerships.

What You'll Earn

We believe in rewarding performance. In addition to your $80,000 base salary plus superannuation, you'll have access to multiple commission streams with realistic on-target earnings of $120,000+.

Residential Property Management

• Up to $600 per new management secured

• Quarterly bonuses paid based on new residential properties signed

Holiday Rental Growth

• Up to $600 per new holiday rental onboarded

• Rewarding quality, long-term managements

Corporate Accommodation

• Earn 5% of gross profit generated during the first six months of every new corporate account you secure, including medical, insurance, relocation and travel partnerships.

The harder you work, the more you earn—there's no artificial cap on your success.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

Most BDM roles expect you to build everything from scratch.

At Cozie, you'll be joining an established business with a recognised brand, proven marketing and an existing owner network built through years of successfully managing holiday accommodation throughout Cairns.

You'll have:

• Ongoing owner enquiries generated by our existing business

• Marketing support to help build your pipeline

• A trusted brand that's already well known in the local market

• Operational support so you can focus on growth rather than administration

• The opportunity to help shape and grow an exciting new residential division.

What Your Week Might Look Like

No two days are the same.

You could be:

• Meeting with property owners to discuss management opportunities

• Conducting rental appraisals

• Following up warm enquiries

• Networking with investors, developers and local businesses

• Building referral relationships with accountants, mortgage brokers and buyer's agents

• Presenting our services to corporate accommodation providers

• Identifying suitable holiday rental opportunities throughout Cairns and the Northern Beaches.

About Cozie

Cozie Homes manages almost 200 holiday properties across Cairns and continues to grow every year.

With the launch and expansion of Cozie Residential, we're creating a modern property management business that combines long-term rentals, holiday accommodation and corporate stays under one trusted brand.

This is an opportunity to join us while we're still growing and genuinely influence the future direction of the business.

Who Will Succeed?

You don't necessarily need years of real estate experience.

We're looking for someone who:

• Loves meeting people and building relationships

• Enjoys generating new business

• Is confident negotiating and closing opportunities

• Is self-motivated and organised

• Wants to build a long-term career rather than simply fill a role.

Experience in real estate, property management, accommodation, hospitality or B2B sales will be highly regarded.

Career Progression

As Cozie Residential grows, so will your opportunities.

This isn't simply another sales role. You'll be helping build a business from the ground up with genuine opportunities to progress into senior leadership as the division expands.

Unlike many agencies, you'll benefit from an established holiday management business that already has relationships with hundreds of local property owners, creating ongoing opportunities for residential management referrals.
