Delivery Development Manager or Senior Development Manager

{ “@context”: “http://schema.org”, “@type”: “JobPosting”, “title”: “Delivery Development Manager or Senior Development Manager”, “description”: “

An opportunity for a hands-on development role with real breadth, ownership and pace is available. Join a lean London-based developer where you will stay close to the detail and help deliver projects from early concept through to completion.


Our client is looking for a delivery-focused Development Manager or Senior Development Manager to support a varied pipeline across PBSA, co-living, residential and commercial assets.

The current focus is PBSA, with co-living growing and residential expected to return as market conditions shift. This is a chance to work across a broad, niche platform rather than a single-asset-class developer.


This developer is a London-based property developer with a broad range of activity across living and commercial sectors. The team is lean, experienced and hands-on, offering close exposure to senior decision-makers and the full development lifecycle.


Key Responsibilities:

• Manage development projects from acquisition support and planning through design, delivery and handover.

• Coordinate consultants, contractors and internal stakeholders to keep programmes moving.

• Support appraisals, feasibility work, budgets and reporting across a mixed pipeline.

• Take ownership of delivery detail while contributing to wider development strategy.


Essential Requirements:

• Experience in development management across PBSA, BTR, co-living, residential or mixed-use schemes.

• Strong understanding of the full development lifecycle, from planning through delivery.

• Track record working closely with consultants, contractors and project teams on live schemes.


Please apply here or give me (Adaora) a call to discuss. My client is looking to find the right candidate as soon as possible – so if in doubt, do get in touch. I also have other clients and roles that may be of interest.


If you do not hear anything back within one week, please assume that you have been unsuccessful on this occasion, but I will retain your details for future roles.
