We create innovative environments that enable meetings between business, research and academia, which promote Swedish competitiveness. With Investor as a long-term owner, we have a secure foundation and a clear mandate to contribute to people and society at large.

Do you want to be part of driving Vectura's continued expansion in Gothenburg and create the environments where tomorrow's innovations take shape?

As Director Business Development at Vectura Fastigheter, your main task is to create new business and drive Vectura's continued growth in the Gothenburg region. Through active market development, own initiatives and a strong network, you identify, develop and drive business opportunities in land acquisition, new establishments and acquisitions of existing properties. The opportunities include both properties and land with development potential and stable cash-flow-generating assets.

About the role

Vectura Fastigheter is a long-term property company owned by Investor. With the mission "Re-imagining Real Estate - Spaces for Innovation" , Vectura develops dynamic environments where research, business and academia meet to create innovation and long-term value.

What sets Vectura apart is its view of property as a platform for innovation. By developing strong clusters within, among others, life science, tech and knowledge-intensive operations, Vectura creates environments where companies, talent, capital and research can meet and develop together.

Gothenburg is one of Vectura's most prioritised growth areas in the coming years. To further strengthen the company's position, we are now looking for a Director Business Development who wants to help identify new business opportunities, develop strategic partnerships and create the conditions for future establishments and projects.

The role has a clear external focus and involves close contact with companies, property owners, landowners, municipalities, investors, academia, transaction advisers and other key players in the region. You work proactively and take the initiative yourself for dialogues and business opportunities. Through market knowledge, networks and active development, you identify local and establishment needs, seek new acquisition opportunities and turn contacts into concrete deals. Together with Vectura's specialist functions, you evaluate and drive the opportunities forward with a focus on profitability and long-term value creation.

An important part of the role is to work within Vectura's unique cross-functional organisation, where business development, investment, ecosystem, project development and management work closely together throughout the entire life cycle of a deal. This gives you the opportunity to focus on what creates the greatest business value while having access to specialist expertise throughout the development process.

The role includes:

• Identifying, initiating and driving new business opportunities in land acquisition, establishments, project development and acquisition of commercial properties.

• Actively working the market and building a business pipeline through prospecting, networking and relationship building.

• Developing the market and establishing relationships with potential customers, tenants and collaboration partners.

• Building and developing relationships with decision-makers in business, the public sector, academia and innovation environments.

• Identifying future establishment needs of companies and organisations.

• Taking part in negotiations with customers, municipalities and external stakeholders.

• Carrying out market, environmental and business analyses.

• Coordinating business opportunities with internal specialist functions and ensuring that ideas are developed into strong business cases.

• Representing Vectura in external forums and helping to strengthen the company's position in the Gothenburg region.

Is this you?

We are looking for you who have an academic degree in economics, real estate, engineering or equivalent, as well as solid experience from commercial property. You have documented experience of initiating, developing and driving new business in commercial property and can demonstrate concrete results of your work. Furthermore, you are used to working proactively, identifying new opportunities and creating business through your own initiatives, networks and long-term relationship building.

You have a good understanding of commercial property transactions, value creation through development, and experience of building and developing long-term business relationships. Furthermore, you have an established network in the Gothenburg region and a good understanding of the players who influence the region's development.

As a person, you are business-oriented, proactive and relationship-driven. You thrive in a role where you have great freedom to act independently while being motivated by collaborating with others to create results. You are curious, solution-oriented and unpretentious with the ability to build trust with both customers and collaboration partners.

To succeed in the role, you need to be persistent, structured and able to navigate complex decision-making processes where many different stakeholders are involved. You combine creativity and commercial thinking with good judgement and high integrity, and have the ability to turn opportunities into concrete business.

Why Vectura?

This is an opportunity for you who want to work in the most value-creating parts of the property business. You get great freedom to identify new business opportunities and build long-term relationships with some of the region's most influential players.

The role offers an unusual combination of entrepreneurship and long-term thinking. You become part of a company with a strong owner, high growth ambitions and short decision paths, while working alongside experienced specialists.

You get a business-critical role in Vectura's continued development in Gothenburg and the opportunity to help shape the future innovation and business environments. For the right person, this means a unique opportunity to combine business development, societal development and commercial value creation in one of Sweden's most exciting property companies.
