THE ROLE

The steady hand that makes everything move

You are accountable for the land, the operation and the commercial growth of the village — the single point of contact on site, the person who holds it all together. Hands-on, organised, trusted.

First flight: the master plan (now to end of October)

Your first job is clear and time-bound. Our pre-application (PIP) for the master plan goes to the Câmara Municipal by the end of October. You take the controls on this from day one:

Coordinate the architects, the engineer, the founders, the local authorities and every stakeholder to bring the master plan to submission — complete, coherent, on time.
Own the details: drawings, documents, permits, sequencing, follow-through.

On the land

Run daily operations as our single point of contact — permaculture experts, guest manager, volunteers, builders, service providers, consultants.
Coordinate the volunteers, the existing building work and the maintenance of the property.
Hold the build through its next phase: fifteen to twenty cabins from design into delivery, on budget and on schedule.
Open the existing property to outside retreat hosts and facilitators, alongside our own programmes.
Drive occupancy — channel management across the apartments and cabins, and relationships with retreat hosts.
Plan, co-develop and oversee retreat activities on site.

Growth

Lead fundraising for round two alongside the founders.
Develop the fractional ownership offer, real estate mapping and sales.
Build partnerships, online and physical — every relationship clear, reciprocal and flowing.
Coordinate with the zeropoint.earth team on marketing, partnerships and the summit.

WHO YOU ARE

Grounded, capable, and ready to build

You have run something real — a hospitality property, a real estate development, a retreat centre, a community — and you owned the budget for it.
You have operated as a GM, COO or founder.
You have taken a project through municipal approvals, or worked closely with architects, engineers and local authorities to get one built.
Hands-on operationally and sharp commercially: planning, marketing, sales, acquisition.
You have managed contractors and teams, and you present well.
Clear, organised, fast and precise to execute. Joyful, responsible, emotionally stable.
Practical first, and open: you want to develop yourself and transform in a deep, grounded place — and you are here to run the development of a village.
Living in Portugal, ideally, or ready to move to Central Portugal. Driving licence required; car provided. No Portuguese needed to start, willing to learn it.

WHAT WE OFFER

A life, not just a role

A very competitive package for the right person: base, performance bonus, private accommodation on the property.
Uncapped commission on fractional ownership and property sales.
Equity participation and a success fee on the capital raise are open to discussion.
A pivotal seat in a project with real momentum, and room to grow as it scales.
Special land, a conscious community, and a game worth playing.

TIMELINE

Now — part-time to start, full-time from spring

We want the right person at the controls of the master plan this month. Part-time or fractional works well through the autumn and winter, moving to full-time from spring 2027 when we begin to build.

HOW TO APPLY

Introduce yourself

Fill in the short application form: — and ideally add a short video and socials.

Tell us about a business, a build or a place you were responsible for: — what state it was in when you arrived, and what you improved — one thing you are proud of — one thing you would do differently
