This is a role for someone who knows the land market, enjoys building relationships and has the commercial confidence to turn opportunities into successful acquisitions. The Opportunity As Senior Land Manager, youll take ownership of opportunities from the moment they are identified through to acquisition, working closely with our Land, Technical, Commercial, Sales and wider leadership teams. Youll have the opportunity to make a real impact by: Building and maintaining strong relationships with landowners, agents, developers, promoters and local authorities. Identifying both on-market and off-market land opportunities and keeping ahead of competitor activity, planning policy and market trends. Leading the financial and technical appraisal of potential development sites. Preparing and presenting residual land appraisals, viability models and development forecasts to senior management and Group Boards. Leading negotiations and securing commercially attractive land acquisitions. Managing opportunities through the full acquisition lifecycle, from initial identification through to exchange, completion and implementable planning consent. Developing and delivering divisional land acquisition strategies alongside senior leadership. Influencing Local Plans, planning applications and Section 106 agreements to help build a strong medium- and long-term land pipeline. Providing market intelligence and insight to support the divisions growth strategy. Building strong relationships across the business and ensuring land decisions are aligned with technical, commercial and sales objectives. Supporting and mentoring junior members of the Land team. What You'll Bring Were looking for an established land professional with a strong track record in residential land acquisition and a genuine understanding of what makes a development opportunity commercially viable. Youll ideally have: Proven experience securing residential land opportunities from initial identification through to completion. Strong financial and commercial acumen, with the ability to appraise sites, build viability models and identify opportunities to create value. Excellent knowledge of the planning system, Local Plan promotion and the political landscape surrounding residential development. A strong network of industry contacts and the ability to source both on- and off-market opportunities. Excellent negotiation skills and the confidence to secure commercially advantageous deals. The resilience and self-motivation to operate independently while working collaboratively with a wide range of stakeholders. Strong communication skills and the confidence to present recommendations and opportunities to senior management and Boards. RICS or an equivalent professional qualification would be advantageous. Why This Role? This isnt simply a role managing an existing land pipeline. Youll be helping to identify where the business can grow next, building relationships in the market and taking ownership of opportunities that can shape the future development programme. Youll have visibility with senior stakeholders, influence across multiple functions and the opportunity to make a tangible commercial impact through the land you secure. Youll also play an important part in ensuring our developments support wider Environmental, Social and Governance objectives, including sustainability, Net Zero Carbon and social value initiatives. Interested? If youre an experienced residential land professional who enjoys finding opportunities, building relationships and making deals happen, wed love to hear from you.
