A well-respected housebuilder is looking to appoint a Senior Land Manager to drive land acquisition across the region. This is a key role with responsibility for building a strong, deliverable land pipeline.

Key responsibilities:

  • Identify and secure residential land opportunities across the region
  • Produce robust financial appraisals including residual valuations, IRR, and sensitivity analysis
  • Lead negotiations and manage deals through to exchange and completion
  • Stay ahead of market activity, planning changes, and emerging opportunities
  • Evaluate planning risk and site viability at an early stage
  • Work closely with internal teams to ensure schemes are practical and commercially sound

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.
