Cobalt is partnering with a well-established residential developer entering an ambitious period of growth across the East Midlands.
With significant backing to expand its regional pipeline and a genuine appetite to acquire land, the business offers an opportunity to join at an important point in its growth.
Rather than simply maintaining an existing portfolio, the successful Senior Land Manager will play a direct role in helping shape that expansion.
The role:
You will have the autonomy to get into the market, identify opportunities and take ownership of deals, while benefiting from support from an established regional team and in-house technical expertise.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Identifying, assessing and progressing immediate land opportunities suitable for residential development.
- Originating opportunities and building relationships across the regional land market.
- Taking land opportunities through appraisal, negotiation and acquisition.
- Taking ownership of legal agreement negotiations on relevant projects.
- Developing relationships with landowners, agents, partners and other stakeholders.
- Supporting bid submissions and presenting opportunities to senior decision-makers.
- Contributing to the wider regional land strategy and growth plans.
