Behaviour Science Project Coordinator — Turn Human Insights Into Better Real Estate

December 8, 2025

About Us

Altavera exists because the real estate industry has been guessing for far too long. Developers regularly make multimillion-rand decisions based on gut feel, outdated assumptions, or whatever competitors are doing — resulting in mispriced projects, slow sales, and products buyers don’t actually want.

We’re here to change that.

With offices in Amsterdam and Cape Town, and clients across Europe and South Africa, Altavera combines latest methodologies in pricing & behavioural science, and deep buyer involvement to help developers design projects people genuinely want — and price them based on real demand, not hopeful spreadsheets.

Our mission:
👉 Replace guesswork with behavioural evidence and real buyer insight
👉 Reduce development risk and increase sales velocity
👉 Build projects people fall in love with before launch

We operate as a flat, merit-based organisation where ideas win over titles, diverse backgrounds are celebrated, experimentation is encouraged, and integrity is non-negotiable. If you thrive where trust, curiosity, and initiative matter — you’ll feel at home here.


⭐ THE ROLE

You’ll be the day-to-day contact for clients using our behavioural validation service — helping them understand what layouts, amenities, and features matter most to buyers.

You’ll work closely with our PhD behavioural science co-founder, technical founder, and technical lead — translating their insights into clear, practical recommendations for developers.

This role blends behavioural insight, project coordination, and structured execution.


⭐ WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Run behavioural validation projects end-to-end
  • Coordinate buyer testing and insight-gathering
  • Turn findings into actionable recommendations
  • Present results clearly to clients
  • Keep timelines and communication organised
  • Help evolve our research and testing methods

⭐ YOU’RE PERFECT IF YOU…

  • Studied behavioural science, psychology, consumer behaviour, marketing, or ecommerce
  • Want early ownership and responsibility
  • Communicate clearly and simply
  • Are organised and proactive
  • Thrive in a flat, experimental, learning-driven environment

This role shapes real developments across Europe and South Africa — with real impact.
