A leading landscape design-and-build specialist in Dubai—renowned for crafting immersive, high-end outdoor environments and transforming private and commercial spaces into lush, modern sanctuaries is searching for a Senior Landscape Lead to drive the next phase of its expansion.

This organisation has grown rapidly over the past decade and is now recognised for its distinctive, detail-driven approach to landscape architecture, premium construction quality, and ability to deliver turnkey outdoor living solutions. With a workforce of more than 200 professionals across design, project management, horticulture, and build, the business is now poised to significantly grow its commercial portfolio.

 

About the Role

This senior leadership position is central to expanding the commercial division. The successful candidate will:

  • Lead the commercial project pipeline, from strategic planning through to delivery
  • Build and manage client relationships, serving as the primary commercial representative
  • Develop market opportunities and drive business development aligned with growth objectives
  • Oversee multidisciplinary teams across design and build to ensure exceptional quality and execution
  • Shape commercial strategy, budgets, and long-term growth initiatives in partnership with senior leadership

 

What We’re Looking For

  • Senior-level experience in commercial landscape projects—design-and-build, construction, or related sectors
  • Strong client-facing ability: pitching, presenting, nurturing relationships, and negotiating contracts
  • Proven capability in managing teams and coordinating large-scale, multi-phase commercial projects
  • Strategic mindset with a track record of growing or developing business units
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills
  • Dubai or GCC experience is advantageous but not essential

 

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Leadership Impact: Take charge of a commercial division with the backing of a large, established design-and-build team.
  • Clear Progression: This is a pivotal role within a company entering a major growth phase—offering significant long-term career development.
  • Strong Foundation: With over 200 people already across design and construction, the operational platform is in place for substantial commercial expansion.
  • Inclusive Environment: The company is actively encouraging applications from underrepresented groups and is committed to building a diverse leadership team.
