Business Development Manager
Shape a brand-new BDM role with flexibility, autonomy, and real impact. Help grow a boutique property firm built on trust, referrals, and long-term relationships—across Auckland.
Auckland Wide Role | Flexible Hours | New Business Focused Role
We’re Keen on Rentals, a boutique property management firm based in Auckland CBD. Our business has grown steadily through referrals, word of mouth, and long-standing relationships with clients. Now, we’re ready for the next step, bringing on our first dedicated Business Development Manager to take our proactive growth strategy to market.
This is a new role for us, and we’re looking for someone who’s excited by the opportunity to grow with us and help shape how we do business development. We know we’ll be learning and refining things together, so we’re after someone who’s adaptable, collaborative, and ready to make their mark.
About the Role
This role is all about growing our client base and building strong, lasting relationships with landlords, property investors, developers, and referral partners across Auckland, especially within the CBD apartment market. You’ll take the lead on identifying opportunities, reaching out to new clients, attending networking events and industry engagements, all while guiding prospective clients through the onboarding process.
We’re a small, experienced, and hands-on team with a flat structure. You’ll be working closely with our Owner and Property Managers to ensure that new clients are well looked after from the first conversation through to onboarding and beyond. This is a relationship-driven role where trust, integrity, and long-term thinking matter just as much as sales results.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone with proven experience in business development, property management, or residential real estate, where you have had sales targets to meet, and cold-calling is something you’re comfortable with and see as a valuable tool.
Our preferred candidate has a solid understanding of Auckland’s residential property market, particularly with investor-focused portfolios. Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, are essential, along with confidence in using CRM systems and other tech tools. You’ll be someone who is self-motivated and able to work independently, but who also enjoys being part of a close-knit, collaborative team.
Most importantly, we’re after someone who’s in it for the long haul, someone who values relationships, takes pride in helping a business grow, and is excited about the chance to grow their own career alongside ours.
The Offer
We’re offering flexibility around hours and working arrangements. This role can be full-time or part-time, with a mix of office time in the CBD, working from home, and being out and about meeting clients. From time to time, you may need to attend after-hours or weekend meetings, but we’ll be flexible about how this works.
The package includes a generous base salary plus KiwiSaver and additional benefits tailored to the right candidate, including a company vehicle or allowance, and a commission structure.
Ready to Grow With Us?
If you’re looking for a role where you can truly make an impact, deliver consistent sales results, help shape a growing business, and be part of a team that values trust, collaboration, and long-term relationships, we’d love to hear from you.
