About Deluxe Holiday Homes Deluxe Holiday Homes is a leading holiday-home and property management company based in Dubai, UAE, managing a portfolio of 700+ premium short-term rental properties with ~230 people across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Fujairah, and Armenia. We are now opening our own premium business center: a full 23,700 sq ft floor at i-Rise Tower, Barsha Heights, with 125+ dedicated offices, meeting rooms, and a recording studio, opening in November 2026. The center runs on a modern technology stack — workspace management software, smart access control, and an intelligent BMS — and we expect its manager to use it. Role Overview We are looking for a hands-on, decisive Business Centre Manager to own our new business center end-to-end: opening readiness, pre-leasing, daily operations, tenant experience, and the center’s P&L. You are the single point of accountability for filling 125+ offices and running the whole floor profitably. This is an ownership role, not a figurehead role. We need someone who makes routine decisions — pricing within agreed bands, vendor escalations, tenant disputes, staff scheduling — and reports after, not someone who escalates and waits. If a prospect wants to tour at 7 pm, you are there. If the AC fails on a Sunday, you own the fix. Note: This role does not include construction or fit-out management (handled by the project team until handover) or marketing production (delivered by the group’s central marketing team under a service agreement). Cleaning and pest control are fully outsourced under contract. Key Responsibilities Launch Readiness (Pre-Opening) • Own the opening-readiness plan for a November 2026 launch: licensing steps (trade license activity, Ejari, DED inspection), operational SOPs, and the day-one checklist. Set the fee schedule and agreement templates with group legal: private offices, meeting rooms, recording studio, and virtual-office products. Run operational snagging and handover from the fit-out project team — sign off door access, HVAC comfort settings, and IT readiness for all 125+ offices. Contract and mobilize vendors: cleaning and pest control (contracted provider), IT/network support, F&B partner, and consumables supply. Hire and train the opening team — one sales executive and 2–3 front-of-house staff — on a 30-day pre-opening training plan. 2. Pre-Leasing & Occupancy Own the occupancy ramp: build a reservation pipeline before opening, convert it to signed agreements from day one, and reach break-even occupancy (60–70%) within the first two quarters. Personally run tours and close office deals — this is a selling Centre Manager role, with one sales executive in support. Design pre-opening reservation offers (founding-tenant terms, refundable deposits) with group legal so commitments are secured before final inspections complete. Build the broker channel: onboard commercial brokers, set commission terms, and keep inventory and pricing current. Own pricing within agreed bands — office rates, renewals, meeting-room and studio rates — and report movements after. Work the daily leads delivered by the group’s central marketing team; keep CRM data clean and forecast occupancy monthly. 3. Operations & Tenant Experience Run daily operations of a 23,700 sq ft floor with 125+ offices: front desk, mail handling, meeting rooms, recording studio, and tenant onboarding/offboarding. Lead the front-of-house team (2–3 staff): scheduling, service standards, and full-week coverage — the front desk also dispatches facilities tickets to vendors. Own vendor SLAs — cleaning/pest control (contracted provider), IT/network, F&B, and maintenance — and renegotiate when performance or price slips. Resolve tenant escalations end-to-end: access control, comfort (HVAC/BMS), and billing disputes — closed, not forwarded. Keep the center audit-ready: tenant Ejari registrations, visa-quota
