Aldar Properties jobs, judged for you, free

What they do

Aldar Properties develops, owns, and manages property in Abu Dhabi. Postings cover building new developments, managing the investment portfolio that holds finished assets, selling homes to buyers, and running the retail, education, and hospitality businesses attached to them. The company is listed in Abu Dhabi. Most senior titles on the board are vice president level or above.

What they value

• Selling consultatively, which sales postings describe as acting as a trusted adviser.
• Following the regulator, which sales postings name alongside company policy.
• Emirati nationals, whom some postings name in the job title.
• Design and master planning as its own discipline, with a group design studio.
• Owning a target. Sales roles are asked to own quarterly numbers.

Where they hire

Of 48 postings, Abu Dhabi holds 43 and Dubai five. Every posting is in the United Arab Emirates and none is remote. The concentration reflects a developer building in its home emirate, with a smaller Dubai presence for sales and wealth management. Some postings are reserved for UAE nationals, which the job title states.

Teams and roles

The board is senior-weighted and split between building assets and managing them.

• Development management: five postings, the largest team.
• Portfolio management: three postings. Group technology holds three.
• Asset management for retail: two postings, which run the malls.
• Design and master planning: two postings, plus two in the group design studio.
• Investment management: two postings, plus two in finance for Aldar Investment and two in wealth management.
• Tendering for buildings: two postings.
• DARNA: two postings, a named business within the group.
• Events and experience, loyalty programme, and compliance: one posting each.
• Titles run from Sales Manager up through Assistant Vice President, Vice President, Executive Director, and Senior Vice President.

What they look for

Sales postings describe the whole transaction, not only the pitch. The sales manager posting in Dubai asks you to generate leads through networking, marketing campaigns, and broker databases, show properties and conduct site visits, issue sales offers, and own quarterly targets against an annual plan. It then asks for the administrative half: preparing and managing contracts and payment plans, keeping the customer relationship management system updated, and making sure every sale follows regulatory guidelines and company policy. It also asks you to build relationships with high net worth individuals, corporate clients, and brokers, and to advise on financing options, market trends, and legal processes. Several senior postings carry only a title and a city, so the detail comes at interview rather than in the advert.
