Management Lead South (m/f/d)

Buena's mission

Buena makes everything real estate as simple and transparent as buying an ETF: whether it’s finding, buying or financing an apartment. We do this by acquiring property managers across Germany and turning them into technology companies. Throughout the past two years we have become Germany's third largest property manager with less than 25 full‑time members in our HQ.

Forget the title.

If you are here for a fancy title to put on your CV, this is not for you. We are looking for a Management Lead who is a rigorous thinker and executor even in and particularly in uncertain situations. You are not here to “manage”, you are here to build our regions from the ground up. You will be the backbone of our regional expansion. This is a senior role.

Do not apply if

• You value title over impact you’re creating.
• You don’t want to move to Berlin.
• You don’t want to work on weekends.

What we are looking for

• Native‑level German (C2).
• A strong desire to work in‑person at the office.
• Proven track record of designing and implementing effective systems of any kind (people, growth).
• High intellectual ability and strong interpersonal skills.
• Extreme ambition to build a category‑defining company.

What you’ll do

• Spend significant time with our PortCo teams in cities like Duisburg, Düren or Iffeldorf.
• Take responsibility for the operational success of a specific German Region.
• Create your own playbook on how to run highly profitable property managers.
• Directly lead recruitment and motivate PortCo teams to achieve their goals.

What you’ll get

• Hand‑picked highly talented team members.
• Top‑tier compensation, including virtual stock options.
• Housing allowance of up to €500/month (if residing near HQ).
• Learning budget of €1,200/year.
• Daily breakfast & specialty coffee plus a €110 monthly lunch budget.
