Senior Development Manager

1 week ago


Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Title Consulting Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

The land lease industry is on the move - and so is this organisation. We're all hearing about the tsunami of retirees coming in Australia and this is your chance to be part of their housing solution.

Led by a formidable executive team, national expansion at this company is in full swing. They are targeting significant growth in settlements and footprint over the next five years.

They need you to help them activate their brand and portfolio and in return they will help activate your career advancement.

This is a fantastic role for an existing Senior Development Manager or a seasoned DM ready for the leap into more accountability, leadership and ownership.

About the opportunity

This is the lead Victorian based development role with ownership for delivering current and new projects across outer metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria. You'll have executive exposure, assist the Head of Acquisitions on Victorian opportunities and have a genuine career development path.

  • Oversee projects from newly acquired stage to completion. Manage consultants, budgets, timelines and development/delivery resources across a portfolio of staged communities homes each).

  • Help shape new systems, drive best practice and lead cross-functional teams as the organisation scales. They're not a well-oiled machine just yet

  • Influence strategy, contribute to broader growth plans and represent the business in industry, community, and government settings.

  • Work flexibly from home, on site and on the road. There is no corporate CBD office yet which means greater agility. You can expect to be on the road a couple of times a week.

About you

You're an ambitious operator ready to grasp scale-up conditions and make meaningful impact. Previous land lease experience isn't essential – staged residential developments would be advantageous but again, is not essential.

Attitude, potential and experience across the full lifecycle is a higher priority.

The ideal candidate is willing to roll up their sleeves and thrives in a varied role where they have autonomy. Experience actively managing consultants and authorities is really important; there is a lot to get done and it will not suit a more passive management style.

Why consider this opportunity?

  • Strong national profile, innovative culture and executive-level access.

  • First development appointment in Victoria with the chance to build a team and portfolio.

  • One of the fastest growing sectors in real estate.

  • Flexible working, short-term incentive plan, enhanced parental leave (16 weeks).

If you're ready for the next phase of growth in Victoria and want a role with real autonomy, challenge and advancement, we'd love a conversation.
