Strategy & Operations Lead – Mandate Business,Ahmedabad

Job Description:

JOB TITLE: Strategy & Operations Lead – Mandate Business

LOCATION: Ahmedabad

EXPERIENCE: 7–12 Years

INDUSTRY: Real Estate

QUALIFICATION: MBA preferred; Engineering + MBA would be an advantage

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a strong Strategy & Operations professional to work closely with the leadership team in managing and scaling our real estate Mandate business in Ahmedabad.

In our Mandate model, the company works closely with developers as their exclusive or strategic sales partner and takes ownership of multiple aspects of the project—from market research, pricing and launch strategy to marketing, channel partner engagement, sales planning and ongoing business performance.

The role therefore requires someone who can think strategically while being extremely hands-on with execution.

The individual will act as the central coordination point across Sales, Marketing, Finance, HR, Channel Partners, Developers and other internal/external stakeholders.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Market & Pricing Strategy:

• Conduct competitive and on-ground market research.

• Benchmark competing projects.

• Analyse product positioning and recommend pricing, inventory and sales strategies.

2. Marketing Coordination:

• Work closely with developers and internal marketing teams to finalise positioning, communication strategy, campaign concepts, brochures, creatives, digital assets and other marketing collateral.

3. Events & Activations:

• Plan and coordinate broker meets, channel partner events, customer events, site activations and project launches.

• Coordinate venue/hotel arrangements, branding, creatives, logistics and execution.

4. Business Operations:

• Create and maintain detailed MIS, trackers and Excel-based dashboards covering sales, leads, inventory, pricing, brokerage, incentives, costs and project-level performance.

5. Cross-functional Coordination:

• Drive execution across Sales, Marketing, Finance, HR, Operations and external agencies.

• Follow through on deliverables and ensure that multiple teams work against agreed timelines.

6. Team & Hiring Support:

• Coordinate manpower planning and hiring requirements with HR.

• Support incentive design, productivity tracking and team performance initiatives.

7. Developer Management:

• Work closely with developer teams and ensure that agreed strategies and initiatives are translated into execution on the ground.

CANDIDATE PROFILE

We are looking for someone with 10+ years of professional experience, preferably with meaningful exposure to residential real estate sales, project marketing, developer strategy or mandate businesses.

The candidate should have:

• Strong analytical and advanced Excel skills.

• Excellent project management and cross-functional coordination ability.

• Strong commercial understanding and comfort with pricing, budgets and P&L.

• Ability to manage multiple initiatives simultaneously and drive them to closure.

• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills.

• A combination of structured thinking and execution orientation.

• Ability to operate in an entrepreneurial, fast-moving environment with limited hand-holding.

• MBA preferred; Engineering + MBA would be particularly relevant.

WHAT WILL DEFINE SUCCESS IN THIS ROLE?

This is not a conventional sales or back-end operations position.

We are looking for someone who can connect strategy with execution—understand what needs to be done commercially, break it into actionable workstreams, coordinate multiple teams and ensure that things actually get delivered on the ground.

For the right candidate, this is an opportunity to play a central role in building and scaling the Mandate business in Ahmedabad.
