Property Development Manager

Make your mark as a Property Development Manager in the Property & Construction sector, based in Leeds.

Leeds has become one of the UK's busiest regional development markets, with sustained investment in commercial, residential and mixed-use schemes across the city centre and South Bank. This employer is an established industry leader in Property & Construction, running large-scale developments with the kind of structured frameworks and clear reporting lines that let a Property Development Manager actually get on with the job. Enterprise scale means bigger sites, bigger budgets, and bigger stakes.

Here's what you'll be doing

Lead development projects from feasibility through to completion, managing programme, budget and risk at every stage

Appraise potential sites across Leeds and the wider region, assessing viability and return against company targets

Coordinate architects, contractors, planning consultants and internal teams to keep schemes on track

Manage planning applications and liaise directly with local authorities and stakeholders

Report progress, forecasts and risks to senior leadership on a regular cycle

Negotiate contracts and manage supplier relationships to protect project margins

Here are the skills you'll need

A proven track record delivering property development projects at a senior level, ideally within Property & Construction

Solid grasp of planning policy, land appraisal and development finance

Strong commercial judgement. You'll need to read a deal and know when the numbers don't add up

Confident stakeholder management, from site contractors to board-level reporting

A relevant degree (Real Estate, Construction Management, Surveying or similar) or equivalent industry experience

Comfortable managing multiple schemes at once without losing sight of detail

Key perks and benefits

£54,500 to £79,500, depending on experience

Hybrid working, balancing site visits and office time in Leeds with flexibility to work from home

Enhanced pension scheme

Performance-based bonuses on top of salary

Few sectors offer this much visible, lasting impact on a city skyline.
