Senior Land Manager - Partnerships
West Midlands | Hybrid working
Up to £80,000 + Strong Bonus
Kitson Associates is exclusively recruiting for an experienced Senior Land Manager to join an ambitious start-up partnerships housing developer in the West Midlands. This is a rare opportunity to join a business at an early stage of its growth and play a genuinely influential role in shaping its land strategy, pipeline and future team.
The business is looking for somebody entrepreneurial, commercially minded and hands-on, someone who enjoys creating opportunities, building relationships and getting involved rather than stepping into an already established structure.
The Role
- Identify, source, appraise and secure residential land opportunities across the West Midlands.
- Develop and maintain strong relationships with landowners, agents, local authorities, registered providers, promoters and other key stakeholders.
- Lead negotiations and progress transactions through heads of terms, due diligence, exchange and completion.
- Undertake site appraisals, viability assessments and financial analysis to support acquisition decisions.
- Work closely with Technical, Planning and Commercial throughout the acquisition process.
- Identify and unlock partnership-led development opportunities and build a strong regional pipeline.
- Help build, develop and ultimately lead a land team as the business expands.
