Summary
Make your mark as a Property Development Manager in the Property & Construction sector, based in Leeds.
Leeds has become one of the UK's busiest regional development markets, with sustained investment in commercial, residential and mixed-use schemes across the city centre and South Bank. This employer is an established industry leader in Property & Construction, running large-scale developments with the kind of structured frameworks and clear reporting lines that let a Property Development Manager actually get on with the job. Enterprise scale means bigger sites, bigger budgets, and bigger stakes.
Here's what you'll be doing:
Lead development projects from feasibility through to completion, managing programme, budget and risk at every stage
Appraise potential sites across Leeds and the wider region, assessing viability and return against company targets
Coordinate architects, contractors, planning consultants and internal teams to keep schemes on track
Manage planning applications and liaise directly with local authorities and stakeholders
Report progress, forecasts and risks to senior leadership on a regular cycle
Negotiate contracts and manage supplier relationships to protect project margins
Here are the skills you'll need:
A proven track record delivering property development projects at a senior level, ideally within Property & Construction
Solid grasp of planning policy, land appraisal and development finance
Strong commercial judgement. You'll need to read a deal and know when the numbers don't add up
Confident stakeholder management, from site contractors to board-level reporting
A relevant degree (Real Estate, Construction Management, Surveying or similar) or equivalent industry experience
Comfortable managing multiple schemes at once without losing sight of detail
Key perks and benefits:
£54,500 to £79,500, depending on experience
Hybrid working, balancing site visits and office time in Leeds with flexibility to work from home
Private medical and dental insurance
Enhanced pension scheme
Performance-based bonuses on top of salary
Why pursue a career in Property & Construction?
Development activity in Leeds shows no sign of slowing, and that means genuine career runway for people who can manage complex schemes well. Property & Construction rewards those who combine commercial instinct with delivery discipline, and a Property Development Manager role at this level opens doors to director-track progression. Few sectors offer this much visible, lasting impact on a city skyline.
