Jayne Oultram
Consultant - Land, Town Planning and Development

About the Role

The role:

You will have the autonomy to get into the market, identify opportunities and take ownership of deals, while benefiting from support from an established regional team and in-house technical expertise.

Key responsibilities will include:

* Identifying, assessing and progressing immediate land opportunities suitable for residential development.

* Originating opportunities and building relationships across the regional land market.

* Taking land opportunities through appraisal, negotiation and acquisition.

* Taking ownership of legal agreement negotiations on relevant projects.

* Developing relationships with landowners, agents, partners and other stakeholders.

* Supporting bid submissions and presenting opportunities to senior decision-makers.

* Contributing to the wider regional land strategy and growth plans.

The skills needed:

We are interested in speaking with commercially minded land professionals who enjoy being active in the market and want to play a visible role in growing a regional business.

The successful Senior Land Manager is likely to offer:

* Working knowledge of immediate land acquisition within residential development.

* A track record of personally identifying, negotiating and acquiring sites.

* Strong commercial and financial judgement when assessing opportunities.

* The ability to negotiate effectively with landowners, agents and other stakeholders.

* The confidence to work independently while collaborating across internal teams.

* The ability to influence senior decision-makers and clearly present an investment case.

* An interest in developing their career as the regional business expands.

An established East Midlands contact base is not essential. The business already has strong relationships in the region and is prepared to support the right individual in developing their network further.

This is a particularly attractive opportunity for a Senior Land Manager who wants to join a developer where land acquisition is central to its growth strategy and where there is genuine backing to pursue new opportunities.

Interviews are ongoing, so apply now to be considered.

Due to the volume of applications received, if you don't hear back from us, please assume your application has been unsuccessful on this occasion.

If you require any adjustments or additional support during the recruitment process for any reason whatsoever, please let your Cobalt consultant know.
