Client Overview

Our client is a rapidly growing property development group in Indonesia specializing in residential township projects and large-scale housing developments. The organization focuses on developing both subsidized and commercial housing segments, supported by strong coordination with national banking institutions to ensure mortgage (KPR) pipeline efficiency and fast cash-flow realization.

With multiple ongoing township projects spanning large land areas, the company operates in a high-volume, fast-turnover development model where operational discipline, financial structuring, and banking execution speed are critical success factors. As the organization scales its multi-project portfolio, it is strengthening its corporate operational structure by building a more disciplined, cross-functional leadership framework across sales administration, mortgage processing, collections, and legal functions.

This role oversees the full lifecycle of property transactions, from booking and customer screening through KPR approval, legal processing, and final unit handover, ensuring smooth execution across multiple concurrent projects.

The position serves as a key operational leader bridging internal departments and external banking partners, with a strong focus on accelerating mortgage approvals, enforcing SLA discipline, and optimizing cash-flow realization. This role is ideal for experienced real estate or banking professionals who have deep exposure to housing development operations, mortgage (KPR) workflows, and large-scale multi-project property execution environments.

• Manage and develop a high-performing operations department, ensuring performance discipline, accountability, and productivity across all teams.
• Strengthen KPR pipeline efficiency by improving approval rates, reducing bottlenecks, and ensuring optimal alignment with banking partner requirements.

• Supervise legal coordination with notaries for PPJB preparation, land documentation, and mortgage agreement execution (Akad Kredit).
• Monitor housing stock availability, booking flow, and collection timelines to ensure strong liquidity and operational balance.
• Provide structured reporting and operational performance analysis to senior leadership, including booking-to-akad conversion rates and pipeline efficiency.
• Recommend strategic improvements to pricing, sales structure, and financing schemes based on operational data insights.
