About The Position

Daft.ie is Ireland's leading property marketplace, connecting hundreds of thousands of home movers with estate agents and developers every day. As part of Distilled, we're investing in deeper, more strategic relationships with the people and organisations that shape the Irish property market, from individual agencies to the industry bodies that represent the profession. We're looking for an Industry Partnership Director to build and lead Daft's relationships across two connected fronts: the industry bodies that set the agenda for Irish property (IPAV, SCSI and others) and our key commercial customers — major estate agency groups and new homes developers. This is a relationship-first role for someone who genuinely enjoys the work of building trust with senior people and turning that trust into commercial and strategic outcomes. You'll be the face of Daft at industry events and conferences, a trusted advisor to our most important agents and developers, and an internal voice ensuring their needs shape our product and commercial strategy.
