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
What we’re looking for
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
Why this role stands out
  • 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.
