About Buena
Buena is building the technology that real estate runs on. We're making every part of real estate as seamless and transparent as possible, whether that's finding, financing, buying or managing an apartment . We do this by acquiring property managers across Germany and rebuilding them as technology companies. In under two years and with fewer than 25 people at HQ, we've already become Germany's second-largest property manager
About the Commercial Lead Portfolio Growth (m/f/d) role
We're looking for a Commercial Lead (m/f/d) who will directly report to our VP Property Management. In this pivotal role, you will design the growth engine driving all of property managers' core business revenue. In your first 90 days, you'll be hands-on across direct sales, partnerships and some online marketing channels. By the end of your first 180 days, you'll have a repeatable playbook. After a year, you will have scaled that playbook.
Responsibilities
Build the local growth motion. Most of our property managers grow solely through word of mouth at the moment and thus, very slowly. You'll change that.
Build the growth playbook from zero. There's nothing you're inheriting. You'll decide what growth experiments you run.
Full-Cycle Sales. Generating leads is half the job. The other half is working with our local heads to make sure those leads turn into signed property management contracts.
Report directly to the VP Property Management and to the Leadership Team. You'll be in close exchange with our C-Level and VP Property Management.
You may be a good fit if you
Speak fluent German (C2). Our PortCos operate locally, and our customers are German homeowners.
Are based in Berlin or willing to relocate; this is an in-office role in Prenzlauer Berg
Are up for traveling to our PortCos every once in a while. We build mini-tech companies all across Germany. You should be up for working in-person with the local MDs.
You've got proven sales expertise. You've brought sales for any kind of product or service from 0->1. Ideally, repeatedly.
Think commercially. You can take reasonable business decisions on your own.
Thrive in ambiguity: You're energized by being the first growth hire and building the playbook from scratch.

Up to €500 close-to-office bonus, if you decide to live within 10-20 mins walking distance to our office.
€110/month lunch budget, €50 fitness subsidy.
€1,200 yearly education budget.
