* Work closely with internal planning and technical teams to assess site constraints and planning prospects.
* Conduct research to track local trends, competitor activity, and planning policy changes.
* Stakeholder Engagement:
* Build and maintain strong relationships with agents, landowners, local authorities, and consultants.
* Compliance & Delivery:
* Ensure land opportunities meet all planning and regulatory requirements and are suitable for volume delivery.
* Work cross-functionally with internal teams and provide support or mentoring to junior staff as needed.
* Proven experience in volume residential land acquisition (from PLC or large regional developers).
* Successful track record of securing both short-term and strategic land.
* Strong knowledge of planning regulations, development viability, and risk management.
* Excellent negotiation skills with a network of relevant contacts.
* Commercially driven, well-organised, and a clear communicator.
