Job Summary

Built Alliance are delighted to be seeking an Acquisitions & Development Manager to join a fast-growing, tech-driven Property Investment & Development Company, playing a key role in identifying, appraising and progressing an impressive and growing portfolio of mixed-use, high-profile (Commercial/BTR Residential) development schemes across the North West.

This is a development-led role suited to an experienced or intermediate-level professional with a genuine interest in the acquisition and appraisal side of the business, who wants to build their development career within a company that combines in-house delivery capability with a strong growth trajectory.

Working closely with the small but growing acquisitions and delivery teams, you'll play a central role in bringing new opportunities forward, from initial identification and feasibility through to planning and onward handover, within a business that proudly combines development expertise with in-house delivery capability.

Key Responsibilities

  • Identify and assess development opportunities, supporting feasibility studies and appraisals
  • Assist in progressing sites from acquisition through planning, working closely with the wider development team
  • Support the planning process including S106, S278, S73 and condition discharge
  • Help monitor cash flow, budgets and development performance against appraisal
  • Liaise with the in-house contractor and external consultants as schemes move through design and planning
  • Assist with reporting on progress, risks and returns to senior stakeholders
  • Contribute to leasing, marketing and operational strategy discussions as schemes progress
  • Support delivery of legal, planning and contractual obligations across live sites

Requirements

  • Experience in a development, acquisitions or related property role, ideally with exposure to mixed-use schemes (BTR, residential, hotels, commercial)
  • A solid understanding of the UK planning system and appraisal process
  • Comfortable working alongside multi-disciplinary teams and external consultants
  • Some exposure to stakeholder or investor reporting is beneficial but not essential
  • Client-side, developer, or consultancy background considered
  • Good understanding of the North West property and built environment market
  • MRICS(or working towards) is a bonus, but the right experience and appetite to grow matters more
  • An interest in BTR and placemaking strategies would be a real advantage
