The MandateLaunch and lead Square One Paphos, and own its P&L. This is an owner-operator role with real equity participation — not a branch-manager position. The successful candidate will source deals personally in the early phase, hire the team behind them, and carry the commercial result. The advantage over a pure start-up: an established brand, an existing Paphos pipeline, group systems, and a head office one hour away.

Phase 1 — Establish (Months 0–6)• Open and staff the Paphos office; establish local operating rhythm, systems and reporting into group. • Take ownership of the existing Paphos pipeline and drive delivery and sales performance on live schemes. • Build the acquisition pipeline: source, screen and negotiate land, antiparochi and JV opportunities across the Paphos district. • Underwrite every opportunity in Square One's development appraisal format and present to the group investment committee. • Build the local professional and contractor network: architects, civil engineers, quantity surveyors, lawyers, subcontractors.

Phase 2 — Scale (Months 6–24)• Recruit, onboard and lead a Sales & Business Development Manager. • Build out the wider local team across acquisitions, project management and sales. • Drive new schemes through permitting and onto site, working with the group technical function. • Establish and own the Paphos sales channels: direct, brokerage, and international buyer networks (UK, Israeli, CIS, Middle East). • Deliver against agreed GDV, unit volume, margin and cash targets.

Ongoing• P&L ownership — revenue, gross margin, overhead, cash flow and returns for the Paphos business. • Capital — work with the group on bank financing, JV equity and investor relations for Paphos schemes. • Governance — planning and building permits, CRCC and licensing requirements, health and safety, employment compliance. • Brand — represent Square One in the Paphos market with landowners, agents, banks, investors and buyers.

What Success Looks LikeBy month 12: office established and operating; existing schemes performing to plan on sales and delivery; two new acquisitions closed and underwritten to group standard; Sales & BD Manager hired and productive. By month 24: a live pipeline of four to six schemes; Paphos P&L covering its own overhead and contributing to group; a functioning local team and a repeatable sourcing engine.
