London
I am working with a well respected and cash rich land promotion business to appoint a strategic land & planning manager/development manager into their London team.

You’ll be:
* Sourcing and assessing new strategic land opportunities

* Working closely with landowners, agents and local authorities
* Instructing and managing consultants to push sites forward
* Playing a key role in negotiations and securing new deals
What they’re looking for:
* Post graduate with 3+ years experience in strategic land, planning or development working for either a consultancy or housebuilder/developer
* Strong knowledge of the UK planning system
* Experience promoting land or working on complex planning strategies
* Commercial mindset able to spot value and opportunity
* Confident communicator who can build relationships and influence outcomes
* Someone proactive who wants to take ownership of projects
Why This Role?
* Genuine involvement in development-led projects from day one
* Strong pipeline of sites across key growth areas
* High level of autonomy and responsibility
* Opportunity to join a business that’s actively deploying capital and growing
* Clear progression as the team continues to expand
