Development Manager

Capstone Recruitment

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.

Why Join this business?

  • Stability and credibility of a listed developer
  • 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 Candidate

You 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
