Partnerships Director | Commercial Property & Fitout
About the Company
Ppl People are proud to partner with a highly regarded
Brisbane-based commercial fitout company
delivering high-quality workplace projects across South East Queensland. With a strong reputation for delivering exceptional spaces, building long-term client relationships and taking a highly collaborative approach to project delivery, the business continues to strengthen its position within Brisbane's commercial fitout market.
As part of its next phase of growth, the business is looking to appoint a
Partnerships Director
to develop new relationships, strengthen its presence across key markets and create long-term opportunities with organisations requiring commercial fitout, refurbishment and workplace solutions.
This is not a traditional high-volume sales role. It is a
senior, relationship-led position
suited to someone who is genuinely well connected across the Brisbane property and business community and knows how to turn relationships into commercial opportunities.
About the Role
As
Partnerships Director
, you'll take ownership of identifying, developing and nurturing relationships that create opportunities for the business.
Your network may sit across
corporate occupiers and major businesses requiring office space
, commercial property owners,
private landlords, property funds, asset managers, developers or property advisors
.
Alternatively, the business is particularly interested in speaking with individuals who have an
established network across hotels and hospitality
, with this being a key sector they would like to grow further into.
Rather than focusing purely on immediate tenders, your role will be to build relationships early, understand upcoming property and accommodation requirements and ensure the business is front of mind when opportunities arise. You'll work closely with the leadership, pre-construction and delivery teams to develop opportunities from the earliest conversation through to tender and project award.
