Head of Growth & Strategic Ventures
Position overview
Dobrov Family Group is entering its next growth phase, expanding beyond core real estate development into new markets, new asset classes, and new capital structures. We are seeking a senior commercial leader to act as the group’s growth and venture engine, someone who combines deal origination, capital structuring, and execution. This role is not advisory. It is designed for a hands-on operator with an ownership mindset who is comfortable taking ideas from concept to capitalisation and delivery, with direct accountability for results. As Head of Growth & Strategic Ventures, you will work as a close partner to the CEO, operating across two mandates: New Ventures and Portfolio Acceleration. You will operate with vertical authority over new ventures and horizontal influence across existing business units, earning the right to intervene by consistently delivering measurable value.
