The Company
Our client is a nationally recognised, ASX-listed property developer with a long track record of delivering master-planned communities across Australia.
The Role:
Join the Melbourne team and take ownership of a key Victorian project.
- Lead the delivery of a scaleable community
- Manage rollout of c200 lots per year (traditional housing & townhomes)
- Build and maintain strong builder and stakeholder relationships
- Mentor and lead a dedicated Assistant Development Manager
- Report to senior management and take accountability for your project
- Exposure to an additional smaller scale residential development in close out phase
- Manage an ADM, dedicated to your project.

- Direct access to executive leadership and board-level engagement
- Long-term project pipeline with multi-year visibility
- Collaborative, high-performing Victorian team
- Family Friendly Workplace certified
- Solid paid parental leave
- Performance incentive opportunity
This is an opportunity to take ownership of a key community development within a structured, well-capitalised organisation that values leadership, delivery and long-term career growth where success isn’t defined by years of experience but ability.
The CandidateYou Will Bring:
- land subdivision experience as a DM (essential)
- Confidence/the ability to present at JV/board level
- Commercial acumen and stakeholder management capability
- Leadership mindset with a genuine interest in mentoring and developing others
- Town house experience (advantageous but not essential)
- Ability to “hit the ground running” in a fast-paced environment.
- A collaborative mindset and the desire to further their own professional development in a supportive work setting with access to phenomenal mentors and leaders.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Flagship project of scale with a solid pipeline
- JV exposure
- Clear portfolio ownership
- Leadership responsibility
- Hybrid flexibility with structured team culture
- Career-defining opportunity within a listed developer
