We have partnered with a privately owned Australian property group that develops, builds, and manages a diversified portfolio for the long term. Their assets span retail, industrial, and residential across Sydney, and the business is in an active growth phase. New projects are coming online, and the team is growing to match. The role This is an end-to-end development management role. You will carry projects across the full cycle, from DA lodgement and approval through design management, consultant coordination, contractor engagement, and delivery, across a portfolio that spans retail, mixed-use, and industrial assets. The team is lean, experienced, and moves quickly. You will not be slotted into a pre or post-construction lane. You will carry the programme from start to finish, and if financial modelling is a genuine strength, you will find meaningful work here from day one. What you'll do * Lead the lodgement and management of development applications, S4.55 amendments, and rezoning applications across the portfolio * Drive the consultant team through each stage of the DA process, manage council correspondence, and hold the programme through to approval * Build and maintain development feasibilities, running sensitivity analyses, modelling capex scenarios, and contributing first-cut budget analysis * Carry projects from DA approval through to delivery, managing cost, quality, and programme, and holding consultants and contractors to account * Lead tendering processes, negotiate contracts, and manage project budgets across a growing and active portfolio What you'll bring * Several years of hands-on development experience across complex mixed-use, retail, or industrial projects * A track record of lodging DAs, managing consultant teams through the full cycle, and working through conditions and amendments without losing programme * Genuine financial capability across feasibility modelling, discount cash flows, and capex analysis, as things you have done rather than observed * Experience managing contractor and consultant relationships through tendering, contract negotiation, and delivery * The discipline to manage competing deadlines across a diverse portfolio without losing accuracy Who this role is for You are several years into a development career and you have been genuinely hands-on. You have held the DA process yourself, dealt with planners, managed consultants, and worked through the complications that come with complex projects. That experience is real and it sits with you. You will thrive here if you are ready for genuine ownership across the full development cycle and are motivated by seeing a project through from DA lodgement to delivery. A lean, privately owned business suits your working style. You are energised by direct access and accountability, not frustrated by it. This role is not for you if: * You are looking for a defined pre or post-construction lane with clear boundaries around your scope * You prefer a larger team with more structural support and established process around you * Financial modelling is not a strength you are ready to use from day one * You are at an early stage in your career and still building foundational DA or delivery experience Why you'll love working here * End-to-end ownership from DA through to delivery, across asset classes most development managers do not see until much later in their careers * A privately owned business with long-term thinking, no fund mandate, and no short-term pressure * A small, high-trust team where your work is visible and noticed by the people who make decisions * A portfolio in active growth, with further stages in planning and new projects coming online * Real scope to grow into a more senior position as the business scales, for the person who performs Ready to apply?
