Industry Partnership Director - Property

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.

• Building and maintaining strong working relationships with IPAV, SCSI and other key property industry bodies, positioning Daft.ie as an engaged and trusted industry partner

• Securing Daft.ie's presence and voice at major property events, conferences and awards throughout the year

• Representing Daft.ie externally, building the company's reputation and credibility within the wider property industry

• Owning and growing relationships with Daft.ie's most strategic customers, including large estate agency groups and major developers

• Acting as a trusted partner to senior decision-makers, understanding their business goals and helping them get the most value from Daft.ie

• Developing commercial opportunities, including vendor-paid advertising and tailored partnership solutions

• Delivering strategic account reviews and performance insights to key customers

• Bringing customer and industry insight back into the business to inform product, marketing and commercial strategy

• Collaborating closely with the Account Management, Product, Marketing and Distilled leadership teams

• Tracking and reporting on relationship health, including customer satisfaction and NPS across key accounts

• You’re a genuine relationship builder — energised by getting to know people, understanding what matters to them, and earning long-term trust

• Excellent track record of managing and growing relationships with senior stakeholders

• Confident representing the brand publicly — at industry events, with the press, and in front of senior external stakeholders.

• Strong commercial acumen, with experience applying data and insight to strategic client conversations

• A Strategic mindset, that balances long-term relationship building with commercial delivery

• Experience in the property industry is preferrable
