This is an opportunity to take on a visible client-side role within an established private property investment and development business. You will help shape the redevelopment and repositioning of a substantial London portfolio, contributing to projects that create lasting value across a varied mix of assets.

The Role

You will play an active role across the full development lifecycle, combining strategic input with hands-on delivery. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Assess development opportunities through robust appraisals, feasibility studies and viability analysis.
  • Shape and manage planning strategies that support successful project outcomes.
  • Lead design development and coordinate consultants to keep projects moving with clarity and purpose.
  • Lead procurement activity and manage contractor relationships.
  • Drive project delivery through the construction phase to completion.
  • Maintain clear oversight of budgets, programmes and project risks.

About You

Bring your experience, judgement and energy

  • You will be an experienced Development Manager or Development Project Manager with strong end-to-end knowledge of planning, appraisals, viability, design management and construction. You will be comfortable balancing strategic thinking with practical delivery and confident working with a range of internal and external stakeholders.
  • Experience in the redevelopment and repositioning of existing assets would be particularly valuable. You will enjoy managing several projects at different stages, bringing sound judgement, commercial awareness and a collaborative approach to each one.

Why Join?

  • A client-side role where your contribution will be seen and valued.
  • Make a visible client-side impact – influence important decisions and see how your work contributes to the transformation and long-term value of assets across a substantial London portfolio.
  • Work closely with experienced leadership – collaborate directly with the Head of Development, gaining valuable insight while having the space to contribute your own perspectives and ideas.
  • Build broad, end-to-end experience – work across feasibility, planning, design, procurement and delivery within a varied pipeline of mixed-asset projects at different stages.
