Acquisitions and Development Manager

Are you looking to be part of something growing, forward-thinking, and genuinely impactful?

My client is a leading residential property company in the build-to-rent space, with bold plans to scale to 6,500 homes over the next three years. With a strong focus on placemaking and community improvement, they're transforming neighbourhoods across the UK-and now they're looking for someone like you to help drive that growth.

You'll join a passionate, collaborative team that values ideas, initiative, and personal development. If you're analytical, commercially aware, and excited about the UK housing sector, this could be your next big move.

What you'll be doing:

Working closely with senior development and investment professionals, you'll play a key role in assessing new opportunities and supporting the full lifecycle of land and property acquisition. You'll:

• Research and analyse new business opportunities and create clear, concise summaries to support decision-making
• Support the creation of engaging marketing and investment materials for potential transactions
• Help prepare board-level reports in collaboration with the development analyst
• Conduct scenario and financial viability analysis, including quality assessments
• Assist with due diligence processes-liaising with advisors and evaluating local and economic trends that impact project viability

What we're looking for:

You might currently be working in a property consultancy, developer, or housebuilder-and now you're looking to step into a role with more ownership, growth potential, and meaningful impact. We're looking for someone who is:

• Experienced in residential property development or research
• Analytical, commercially minded, and confident working with data and financial models
• A strong communicator-able to write clearly and create compelling reports
• Qualified with a degree and/or professional accreditation (e.g. MRICS)
• Self-motivated, collaborative, and excited to be part of a high-performing team
• Familiar with the UK residential market and build-to-rent trends
