We’re partnering with a privately backed, design-led vertically integrated developer delivering a landmark residential apartment development on Sydney’s Upper North Shore. With planning well progressed and significant capital behind the project, they are looking to appoint a Senior Development Manager to take ownership of one of their most important projects.
You will step into a highly visible role with real autonomy—working directly with decision-makers and leading the project from detailed planning through to delivery.
What you’ll be doing- Owning the end-to-end delivery of a large-scale, high density residential apartment community
- Driving planning outcomes and managing key stakeholder relationships
- Leading top-tier consultants to shape product, design and delivery strategy
- Managing feasibility, programme and commercial performance
- Taking the project through procurement, construction and completion
You’re likely already operating at Development Manager / Senior Development Manager level with 7–10 years’ experience , and a track record of delivering residential projects in Australia.
More importantly, you:
- Know how to drive a project—not just manage one
- Are commercially sharp and comfortable owning numbers
- Can influence consultants, authorities and internal stakeholders
- Want more ownership, visibility and impact than your current role offers
- Flagship project with genuine scale and complexity
- Direct access to leadership and fast decision-making
- Strong capital backing—projects move, not stall
- Clear runway for progression as the pipeline expands
This is a role for someone who wants to step out of a layered corporate structure and take real ownership of a project that will define their career.
