DEVELOPMENT MANAGER | NORTH LONDON, TOTTENHAM
£55,000–£60,000 | Permanent | Mon-Fri
Looking for a Development Manager role where you can genuinely make your mark?
I’m working on a confidential Development Manager opportunity with a highly respected property management business, overseeing an established residential development in North London.
This isn't an Estates Director role or a huge portfolio.... It’s a hands-on building/estate management position where you’ll lead a small on-site team, take ownership of the development and get stuck into the issues that need solving.
THE ROLE
- Full responsibility for a residential development
- Lead a small on-site maintenance & concierge team
- Oversee compliance, PPM, risk & contractor management
- Support budgets, service charges & financial reporting
- Manage RMC relationships and key stakeholders
- Take ownership of ongoing building issues & legacy projects
- Drive improvements and get things moving
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
