Job Description:

Development Manager | Client Side | London

Looking to move from Project Management into Development Management?

I’m currently working with a leading London investor-developer looking to appoint two Development Managers to join their growing team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with around 7 years’ experience in project management, consultancy or development who wants to take on a broader client-side role with genuine ownership across the development lifecycle.

While you’ll gain exposure to all stages of development, this role has a strong emphasis on post-contract delivery. You’ll take responsibility for residential plots once on site, working closely with contractors, consultants and internal stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered safely, commercially and to programme.

The role

  • Lead the delivery of residential developments through the post-contract phase.
  • Manage consultants, contractors and key stakeholders throughout construction.
  • Oversee programme, cost, quality and risk, ensuring schemes are delivered successfully.
  • Work closely with internal development, construction and commercial teams to solve problems and drive progress.
  • Contribute to wider development decisions and gain exposure across the full development lifecycle.

About you

  • Approximately 7 years’ experience within project management, development management or a related consultancy environment.
  • Strong experience delivering residential projects through construction.
  • Comfortable managing multiple stakeholders and making commercial decisions.
  • Energetic, proactive and willing to roll your sleeves up when required.
  • Looking to build a long-term career within client-side development.
