The Opportunity
Thompson & Terry Recruitment are delighted to be working with a highly regarded Oxfordshire property business to recruit a Land Manager to join their Land & New Homes team in Summertown.
This is a brilliant opportunity for a commercially minded property professional to join a well-established business and play a key role in identifying and securing residential development opportunities across Oxfordshire and the surrounding area.
As Land Manager, you’ll be responsible for sourcing land opportunities, carrying out high-level site appraisals and supporting the journey from initial opportunity through to planning and onward progression. This role would suit someone who is a fantastic communicator, highly analytical, exceptionally detail-focused and entrepreneurial in their approach to finding the best solutions for clients.
It’s an especially exciting opportunity for somebody with a good understanding of property who is genuinely looking to build a long-term career within land and property development. Rather than a transactional role, this is a position where you can really develop your expertise, build lasting relationships and make a visible impact.
The Company
Thompson & Terry Recruitment are proud to partner with this respected Oxfordshire property business, known for its strong reputation in the residential property sector and its growing presence within Land & New Homes. The team works closely with landowners, developers and development partners, helping to unlock opportunities and provide trusted advice across the region.
We’ve worked with this client for over 10 years and they have consistently given amazing feedback on the candidates we’ve introduced. Even better, some of our earliest placements with the business are still there today and have progressed into Director-level roles, which says a huge amount about the culture, support and long-term opportunities on offer.
This is a business that genuinely values initiative, professionalism and high standards, while also giving people the chance to grow, develop and build a successful long-term career. You’ll be joining a collaborative and well-regarded team environment where your contribution will be recognised and where there is real scope to strengthen your experience within land and property development.
Requirements
* Strong communication skills and the ability to build trusted relationships with landowners, developers and other stakeholders.
* Excellent attention to detail.
* Analytical mindset with the ability to assess opportunities and think commercially.
* Good understanding of property and a genuine interest in land and residential development.
* Strong desire to build a long-term career in land and property development.
* Ability to read plans, title documents and site information confidently.
* Experience in land, property, planning, development or estate agency would be highly beneficial.
* Local knowledge of Oxfordshire and the surrounding area would be an advantage.
* Full UK driving licence, and able to commute to Summertown daily (a pool car can be provided for business use)
