With an active pipeline and upcoming acquisitions, the business is positioned for continued growth, offering exposure across the full lifecycle of development within a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Role Overview

This Development Manager role will see you take ownership across the full development lifecycle, working on a mix of townhouse and apartment projects from pre-acquisition and planning through to delivery, settlements, and defect resolution. You will operate in a highly integrated environment, working closely with internal construction, design, sales, and finance teams, with immediate involvement across active projects including a townhouse development nearing construction and a large-scale multi-stage apartment project in early planning.

Responsibilities

  • Manage the end-to-end development lifecycle across multiple projects
  • Oversee planning approvals, permits, and authority engagement
  • Drive project feasibility, budgeting, and programme management
  • Coordinate design development with internal and external consultants
  • Manage procurement and transition into construction delivery
  • Act as the key interface between development and construction teams
  • Monitor project performance including cost, programme, and risk
  • Lead value management initiatives across development and build phases
  • Oversee sales interface, including review of marketing collateral and contracts
  • Manage settlements, defects, and post-completion processes
  • Build and maintain relationships across internal teams and external stakeholders
  • Contribute to broader strategic initiatives across the development pipeline

Requirements

  • Exposure in the full development lifecycle across residential projects
  • Experience dealing with councils, planning processes, and approvals
  • Strong understanding of feasibility, budgeting, and programme management
  • Experience working closely with construction teams or on-site exposure
  • Ability to manage multiple stakeholders across internal and external teams
  • Exposure to value management and cost optimisation
  • Experience across different asset classes (apartments, townhouses, etc.) advantageous
  • Strong communication and relationship-building capability
  • A proactive, hands-on approach with a genuine interest in development

You will be joining a high-performing, collaborative team with strong internal capability and clear career progression. The business offers a defined pathway to Senior Development Manager within approximately 12 months, subject to performance. Additional benefits include flexible start and finish times, regular salary reviews, free weekly lunches, monthly team breakfasts, and a strong social culture. The environment is fast-paced, supportive, and focused on growth, both professionally and personally.
