We have a brilliant opportunity for you to join us as Development Manager where you’ll identify and win new development opportunities for the Yorkshire region, supporting us in our strategic priority to build 10,000 new homes over five years.  You’ll be sourcing land and leading on partnering with a focus on identifying mixed tenure opportunities to deliver new affordable and private sale homes.

You'll lead projects from identification up to concept design stage including planning submission and the completion of legal agreements.  You’ll work collaboratively as part of our award winning development team (we’ll tell you a bit more about our awards later) to ensure an effective handover to delivery colleagues.
