We’re building a new kind of living experience: one that’s flexible, connected, and designed to create genuine community and real value for the people who call Flow home.
Our mission is oneness: prioritizing our residents and their experiences, and fostering connection with ourselves, their neighbors, and the natural world.

- Lead market and financial analysis, valuation, and underwriting for potential acquisitions and partnership deals.
- Oversee the full due diligence process: legal, financial, technical, and operational.
- Structure and negotiate commercial terms for acquisitions and Flow-branded management agreements.
- Partner with legal counsel (internal and external) to manage contract negotiations, JV structures, and deal closings.
- Prepare and present investment memos and lead internal investment approval processes.
- Track market trends, transaction activity, and regulatory changes to inform Flow’s regional strategy.
- Contribute to long-term portfolio growth and capital deployment strategy across MENA.
Ideal Background
- Bachelor’s degree in Real Estate, Finance, Economics, or a related field; MBA or relevant postgraduate degree preferred.
- 8–12 years of experience in real estate acquisitions, investments, or development, ideally with residential or mixed-use focus.
- Demonstrated experience closing transactions in Saudi Arabia or the wider GCC region; Strong understanding of CMA regulations, Saudi real estate laws, and transaction structures.
- Established network of real estate professionals, institutional capital partners, fund managers, investors, developers and brokers.
- Excellent commercial judgment and negotiation skills.
- Highly organized, analytical, and detail-oriented.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
- Fluency in English required; Arabic proficiency strongly preferred.
