You recognise opportunities before the market does? Then you should keep reading.

We are not looking for someone who manages tenders. We are looking for someone who understands markets, recognises opportunities, inspires customers and leads teams to achieve great victories together.

As Head Business Development & Advisory, you are where the most exciting opportunities arise. You lead our Business Advisory team, develop new business areas, build relationships at C-level and accompany major deals through to signature.

Your mission

• You develop a team of eight Business Consultants into the best sparring partners for our customers.
• You win complex tenders not through standard solutions, but through customer-oriented concepts with innovative ideas.
• You recognise business potential before it becomes obvious and turn it into concrete success.
• You build relationships with investors, asset managers and decision-makers and develop them in the long term.
• You lead strategic sales processes from the first conversation to contract conclusion.
• You bring Commercial, Operations and Business Development together and ensure that good ideas become strong solutions.
• You actively shape ISS's commercial strategy and question the status quo when better ways exist.
• You report directly to the ISS Switzerland management.

• Sell it - You are a sales professional in the FM sector and inspire customers with your dynamic presence.
• Inspire your team - You have several years of leadership experience and can lead and inspire teams.
• You are an expert - You know the Swiss market as well as the real estate and asset management landscape very well.
• Be an entrepreneur - You convince through entrepreneurial thinking, negotiation skills and a strong sense for market opportunities.
• Any language works - You speak fluent German and have good English skills. French and Italian are an advantage.
• Just do it - You don’t wait for opportunities. You create them.

What we offer you

• Market-leading business solutions and know-how to convince in the market
• Support from the management in the sales process
• Support from an excellent marketing and communications team
• Attractive employment conditions with variable salary component, 5+1 weeks holiday and own ISS pension fund
• A valuing culture where knowledge and successes are shared
• Serviced wardrobe for athletes with free laundry service within 24 hours​

Why this role?

Because here you do more than just sell. Reporting directly to the Chief Commercial Officer, you play a central role in the future growth of ISS Switzerland. And you have the chance for a role with high visibility.

Ready for us? We are ready for you.
Together we shape the future of facility management. If you think entrepreneurially, want to drive sustainable growth and enjoy inspiring people and customers with innovative solutions, we look forward to your application.
