York Street is partnering with an international investment and fund management firm specialising in private equity real estate to recruit a Senior Development Manager. This is a unique opportunity to work closely with and be mentored by an experienced Managing Director on major real estate schemes - mainly (but not exclusively) with a residential, public-sector focus.
The Opportunity
This role will initially involve leading projects, with a clear pathway to becoming a Development Director, taking ownership of major projects in the coming years. The business deploys both institutional and private investor capital across a broad risk/return spectrum, including opportunistic, value-add, core-plus, and core strategies. Due to the nature of the role, we are looking for someone who is working for a developer currently and can demonstrate a track-record of leading projects - ideally through the full development cycle.
The Ideal Candidate
We are looking for a well-rounded, entrepreneurial professional who can take ownership of challenges, think commercially, and approach decision-making as if it were their own capital at stake. The ideal candidate will:
- Have a background in client-side real estate development - with a particular focus on residential development.
- Ideally come from one of the major, central-London, resi-developers.
- Be numerate and comfortable with financial modelling and appraisals - while analysts are available, the ability to interpret reports and contribute to decision-making is essential.
- Have experience across different phases of the development lifecycle, ideally having seen a project through from inception to completion.
- Be proactive, independent, and able to hustle and lead, while maintaining confidence without arrogance.
Compensation & Progression
The package includes a competitive base salary, plus a performance-related bonus of 20-30% and LTIP and the future potential of a share in the promote of new schemes, ultimately making this an extremely lucrative opportunity in the coming years.
If you're looking to take the next step in your career and gain invaluable mentorship in a high-growth, private equity-backed real estate firm, we’d love to hear from you.
