The Role: Leading High-Quality, Design-Led Developments

This is a leadership role requiring strategic oversight, hands-on project execution, and a deep understanding of the property development lifecycle, from land acquisition and design through to approvals, construction, marketing, and sales.

  • Leading the design and masterplanning process, ensuring developments reflect best-practice urban design and respond to customer needs.
  • Delivering large-scale built form projects on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.
  • Managing the engagement of architects, designers, and consultants, ensuring project outcomes align with Levande's vision and commercial objectives.
  • Driving commercial outcomes, ensuring developments achieve strong financial returns while enhancing the resident experience.
  • Overseeing the full development lifecycle, including statutory approvals, procurement, contract negotiation, and construction execution.
  • Aligning development with sales and marketing strategies, ensuring strong customer demand and a seamless resident journey.
  • Building strong stakeholder relationships across internal teams, contractors, investors, and government authorities.
  • Leading and mentoring high-performance teams, fostering a culture of collaboration, accountability, and customer focus.
About You

To be successful in this role, you will have:

  • Extensive experience in built form property development, with a track record of delivering large-scale residential, aged care, or retirement living projects.
  • Strong expertise in design management, working with architects and consultants to deliver high-quality, commercially successful projects.
  • A deep understanding of masterplanning, statutory approvals, and construction methodologies.
  • Strong commercial acumen, with expertise in feasibility analysis, cost control, and risk management.
  • Proven leadership capability, managing multi-disciplinary teams and external stakeholders to achieve development objectives.
  • A customer-first approach, ensuring that developments align with the needs and expectations of future residents.
  • A relevant tertiary qualification in property development, architecture, urban design, construction, or a related discipline (highly desirable).
Why Join Us?

We offer a dynamic and growing organisation where you can lead transformative, design-led projects. We provide:

  • A flexible and supportive work environment.
