Apply for this job

scouted. are pleased to be exlisviuely recruiting a front-end, deal-led role inside one of Australia’s most active industrial development platforms.


The business runs a full-spectrum development model - acquisitions, planning, design, delivery, leasing/sales and exit. The challenge? Live projects are demanding, and the market doesn’t wait. This role exists to own the commercial front end of the live development pipeline and turn opportunity into revenue.


The mandate

You’ll lead sales and leasing across a national industrial development book - engaging the market early, driving pre-leasing and sales outcomes, and sharpening revenue recognition across projects with flexible exit strategies (englobo land, turnkey, pre-lease driven acquisitions). You’ll be the single point of contact for occupiers and agents, pulling the right people in at the right time as opportunities firm up.


What you’ll be doing

  • Owning all occupier enquiry across the live development portfolio
  • Driving pre-leasing, sales and turnkey outcomes to accelerate value
  • Leading submissions end-to-end (DMs, architects, consultants, contractors)
  • Deploying project-specific marketing strategies
  • Negotiating commercially with occupiers
  • Working closely with capital transactions team to align occupier demand with future sites


What will set you apart

  • Deep understanding of the full development lifecycle (not just the front end)
  • A genuine obsession with systems, process and continuous improvement
  • Resilience, urgency and a strong competitive edge - you like winning deals
  • Comfort operating under pressure in fast-moving, complex environments
  • Strong values alignment and a team-first mindset
  • A book of contacts in the industrial property market - agents, tenant reps, occupiers


Why this is compelling

  • Direct access to the C-Suite
  • High-trust, high-impact role with real autonomy
  • Exposure to nationally significant industrial transactions
  • Incentives genuinely tied to deals and performance


The platform was ranked nationally in the top echelon for industrial property dealmaking in 2025, with multiple nine-figure transactions across logistics, intermodal and portfolio-scale assets. If you’re commercially sharp, deal-driven, and want to sit at the pointy end of an elite development engine - this is worth a conversation.
