* Support the evolution from JV / partner-led delivery to a more in-house model
The Opportunity
* Build a platform from the ground up within an established investment business
* Direct access to capital and decision-makers
* High level of autonomy and strategic influence
* Clear pathway to building and leading a team
Candidate Profile
* Strong background in land acquisition and planning

* Strong understanding of viability, delivery, and market dynamics
