Oya is the property marketplace dedicated to the food industry, connecting property owners with food vendors across the UK. We simplify the process for both buyers and sellers —helping Landlords lease spaces faster, allowing food vendors to find ready-to-use, food and beverage spaces with flexible contracts, reducing upfront costs, hassle and paperwork.

Founded by hospitality and food enthusiasts who saw too many talented food vendors without kitchens and too many spaces left empty, Oya’s mission is to bridge that gap. With over 3,000 Food Vendors active on our marketplace, institutional landlords joining the platform and no other disrupters in the leisure space - now is the perfect time to join our growing team.

In this role, you'll bring the skills of a traditional commercial estate agent to a cutting-edge, tech-powered platform. Your mission: lead both landlord acquisitions, and disposals on behalf of your landlord network. Everything from restaurants, pub kitchens, foodhalls, takeaways to delivery-only kitchens using Oya’s marketplace to match landlords and operators quickly and efficiently.

• Cultivate and maintain relationships across all stakeholders - landlords, vendors, agents, and third party partners.
• Drive revenue through active deal-making and listings activation.
• Use Oya’s marketplace to streamline pitch-to-deal flow and minimise friction.

Ideal Candidate Profile:
