Are you a strategic property professional who thrives on the complexity of high-density vertical living? We are looking for a Development Manager to spearhead our expansion across Southeast Queensland.
This isn’t a role for someone who wants to sit in a cubicle and tick boxes. We are offering a high-autonomy, full-lifecycle position where you own the project from the first "back of the envelope" feasibility to the final settlement.
The Role
You will be the driving force behind a portfolio of high-density residential towers (approx. $100M+ GDV). Whether you prefer the urban grit of Brisbane or the skyline of the Gold Coast, this role offers the flexibility to work from home, meeting on-site or in-studio only when it truly adds value.
Key Responsibilities:
Site Identification & Acquisition: Use your network to source off-market opportunities and prime high-density sites.
Rigorous Feasibility: Run the numbers ($DAT$ and $IRR$ models) to ensure project viability and maximum uplift.
Stakeholder Management: Navigate the complexities of local councils, consultants, and top-tier builders.
Full Lifecycle Oversight: Manage the DA process, design development, marketing/sales strategy, and construction delivery.
Who You Are
You’re a "closer" with a keen eye for design and a solid grasp of the numbers. You don’t need your hand held, and you’re ready to take the lead on landmark projects.
Proven Track Record: You’ve successfully delivered mid-to-high density residential towers (10+ storeys).
Local Expertise: Deep knowledge of the SEQ property market and planning codes.
The "Developer Mindset": You understand that development is as much about relationship-building and negotiation as it is about concrete and steel.
Financial Literacy: Expert-level capability in project feasibilities and cash flow management.
Why Join Us?
True Flexibility: We focus on outputs, not "desk time." Work from wherever you are most productive.
Portfolio Growth: This is a career-defining opportunity to grow a massive portfolio with the backing of a well-capitalized firm.
High Autonomy: You will be treated like a business owner, with the freedom to make decisions and drive outcomes.
