Unilife and Stelling Properties are scaling — and we're looking for a Business Development Manager to help drive this growth.
This isn't a typical BD role. It's a sector-facing, relationship-led position with a clear focus: build and convert a modular pipeline into the factory, alongside growing Unilife's third‑party management portfolio.
The Role
The role works across both the Unilife platform and Stelling's modular construction business. You'll be embedded in the PBSA market, focused on building early‑stage opportunities and converting them into modular construction pipeline and operating partnerships.
* Build relationships with developers, investors, universities and operators
* Get in early — pre‑planning, pre‑procurement
* Turn conversations into modular construction opportunities
* Identify and support third‑party management opportunities for Unilife
* Clearly articulate the commercial case for modular — accelerated delivery, programme certainty, earlier cost clarity and reduced delivery risk
* Help position Unilife as a premium operating partner
What Success Looks Like
* A strong, credible pipeline of modular‑led opportunities
* Early access to schemes and decision‑makers
* Consistent deal flow into the factory
* Growth in Unilife's third‑party management pipeline
Who This Role Suits
This role is aimed at someone already operating within the PBSA sector.
* You are currently working in PBSA, student accommodation, or closely aligned real estate
* You have an existing network across developers, investors, universities or operators
* You understand how PBSA schemes are originated, structured and delivered
* You're comfortable building relationships at a senior level and representing the business in the market
* You lead with innovation — using AI, data and technology to drive smarter, more effective business development and bring new thinking into the sector
* You're proactive, commercially sharp, and able to create opportunities — not wait for them
This role suits someone who knows the PBSA market, operates with a forward‑thinking mindset, and can convert relationships into real, qualified pipeline.
