**Why Join Develop Smart Inc.?** We offer a rare opportunity to shape the business development function at a nimble, design-forward real estate firm. You’ll work directly with the CEO, have a clear path to impact, and help define how we grow into new markets and verticals.

- **Documentation & Agreements**: Work alongside the CEO to draft and refine tenancy agreements, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and alignment with deal terms.
- **Market Intelligence**: Conduct market research on competitive properties, rental rates, and occupancy trends to inform acquisition and pricing strategies.

**What We’re Looking For**:

- 2-4 years of experience in **commercial real estate development, leasing, or brokerage** (residential experience a plus, but not required).
- Proven track record of **building and converting pipelines** in a real estate context.
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills—you know how to sell the vision and close the deal.
- A **self-starter** who thrives in lean environments with high autonomy and direct access to leadership.
- Comfort working across multiple asset types and stages of development.
- Experience drafting or negotiating tenancy agreements is a strong asset.
- Organized, resourceful, and energized by the opportunity to help scale a growing real estate platform
