The posting

About the Role

We’re looking for a hands-on Senior Development Manager who can take a project from site acquisition through to completion. The company has seen the successful development of many residential projects throughout Sydney in the last 10 years ranging from award winning designed houses up to apartment complex's of 40 plus units

This is not a coordination role.

You will be responsible for finding deals, making them stack, and delivering profitable outcomes.

If you’ve only ever managed part of the process — this role is not for you.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

  • Site Acquisition
  • Identify and secure residential development opportunities (10+ apartments)
  • Build and manage agent networks
  • Source off-market opportunities
  • Feasibility & Deal Structuring
  • Run detailed feasibilities (GRV, costs, margins)
  • Assess risk, planning constraints, and upside
  • Present investment cases internally
  • Planning & Approvals
  • Manage consultants (planners, architects, engineers)
  • Drive DA strategy and council approvals
  • Navigate zoning, overlays, and planning risks
  • Delivery
  • Oversee projects through design, tender, and construction
  • Manage builders, budgets, and timelines
  • Ensure projects are delivered profitably

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven track record delivering multi-residential projects (10+ units) end-to-end
  • Strong feasibility and financial modelling skills
  • Deep understanding of Sydney planning system & councils
  • Existing relationships with:
  • Agents
  • Consultants
  • Builders
  • Commercial mindset — you think like an owner, not an employee

You must be able to clearly point to projects you personally drove from acquisition to completion

Salary & Incentives

  • Base: $180k – $210k (depending on experience)
  • Bonuses:
  • Site acquisition incentives
  • Project milestone bonuses
  • Profit-based upside

Total package: $220k – $300k+ for high performers

Why This Role

Work for an experienced company with a strong portfolio of residential developments complete .

  • Work directly on real deals, not layers of corporate process
  • High level of autonomy and decision-making
  • Strong upside tied to performance.
  • Opportunity to grow into a Head of Development / equity position

Important

This role is for doers, not coordinators.

If you:

  • haven’t run full-cycle developments
  • can’t build a real feasibility
  • or haven’t delivered projects yourself

This will not be the right fit.

Apply

Send through:

  • CV
  • Brief summary of 2–3 projects you personally delivered end-to-end

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
