Job Opening: Business Developer Hainaut

Hectaar builds for people, with people. We are a no-nonsense project developer with a clear ambition: to realize affordable and quality new homes and apartments for families, singles, and investors.

Our activities are growing and that's why we want to expand our presence in Hainaut. For this, we are looking for a Business Developer who will help steer our Walloon activities and put the Hainaut region further on the map.

You will work from our headquarters in Roeselare but will frequently travel to Hainaut. There, you'll build a network, look for new opportunities, and maintain contacts with landowners, brokers, municipal authorities, and other partners.

This is not a classical commercial role. You will have a broad and entrepreneurial role where you are involved in the entire cycle of project development: from finding and purchasing land, to project development, to the sale of the properties.

What can you expect from your job at Hectaar?

As a Business Developer, you are responsible for the further expansion of Hectaar in Hainaut. You combine commercial field activities with the necessary analysis, follow-up, and collaboration from our office in Roeselare.

• You actively search for new opportunities and project land in Hainaut and build a strong network of landowners, brokers, local contacts, and other stakeholders.
• You frequently travel to visit owners, discuss opportunities, and further build your network in the region.
• You analyze the development possibilities and feasibility of potential projects.
• You negotiate land purchases and guide the purchasing process.
• You are jointly responsible for drafting and following up on purchase and sale agreements and ensure that the made agreements are correctly translated into concrete agreements.
• You maintain contacts with municipal authorities and other local governments and build a network within Hainaut.
• You collaborate on the development of projects, from the first concept to a concrete and feasible project.
• You follow the necessary permitting and development processes in collaboration with internal and external partners.
• You work with architects, engineering firms, project managers, and other partners to successfully realize projects.
• You are involved in the sale of completed homes and think along about the positioning and commercial approach of projects.
• You follow up the projects and results in your region and report this to the headquarters in Roeselare.
• You have the space to detect opportunities yourself, take initiatives and further expand Hectaar in Hainaut.

What does Hectaar expect from you?

• You are French-speaking with an excellent knowledge of Dutch.
• You have a strong commercial and entrepreneurial mindset and see opportunities where others may not yet see them.
• You have an affinity with real estate, construction, and project development.
• Experience in real estate, project development, sales, purchasing, or a similar commercial function is a strong asset.
• You are strong in negotiations and know how to reach agreements in a correct and convincing manner.
• You are communicatively strong and feel comfortable interacting with both individuals and professional partners and governments.
• You are independent, proactive, and result-oriented, but also enjoy working with a team.
• You are analytical enough to assess the feasibility and profitability of a project.
• You find it self-evident to work from Roeselare and regularly drive to Hainaut to make contacts, arrange appointments, and follow up on opportunities.
• You are willing to actively develop your region and have the necessary flexibility to further expand your network and market knowledge.

What does Hectaar offer you?

• A key position in the further expansion of Hectaar in Hainaut.
• A very broad role with responsibility over the entire development cycle: acquisition, development, and sale.
• A lot of autonomy and room for initiative in a region where you determine Hectaar's growth potential yourself.
• The combination of working from our headquarters in Roeselare and independently going on the road to create new opportunities.
• The support of an experienced team and a strong headquarters, combined with the freedom to discover and realize opportunities yourself.
• A young, dynamic, and driven team with a passion for building and people.
• A modern working environment in a fast-paced and growing company.
• A competitive salary with extra-legal benefits, including a company car, meal vouchers, and other benefits.
