About the Role

I'm exclusively working with an established, well-funded land business looking to appoint a Strategic Land Manager to help grow its residential development pipeline.

Joining a small, experienced team, you'll have real ownership of opportunities from initial introduction through commercial negotiation and legal agreement. There's capital available and an appetite to acquire, giving someone with strong relationships and commercial judgement the opportunity to make a tangible impact.

The opportunity

  • Source residential land through agents, landowner relationships and direct approaches.
  • Assess planning potential and commercial returns alongside experienced planning colleagues.
  • Negotiate Heads of Terms, promotion and option agreements, progressing opportunities through the legal process.
  • Build your own pipeline and play a meaningful part in the business's acquisition strategy.

About you

You'll have a proven track record in strategic land acquisition. An immediate-land background could also work if you understand longer-term opportunities and have hands-on experience negotiating promotion and option agreements.

Strong legal understanding and the ability to turn relationships into deliverable opportunities are essential. You'll be comfortable taking responsibility, working independently and getting involved personally in the detail.

The role offers the backing of an established business alongside the autonomy and visibility of a close-knit team. It would suit someone who enjoys being office-based with colleagues, with one day a week working from home.

For a confidential conversation, please get in touch.
