The Company
Our client is a nationally recognised, ASX-listed property developer with a long track record of delivering master-planned communities across Australia.
The Role:
Join the Melbourne team and take ownership of a major Victorian portfolio.
  • Lead the delivery of a large scale community
  • Manage rollout of 200–220 lots per year (traditional housing & townhomes)
  • Build and maintain strong builder and stakeholder relationships
  • Mentor and lead a dedicated Assistant Development Manager
  • Report to senior management and take accountability for your project
  • Exposure to an additional smaller scale residential development in close out phase
Why Join this business?
  • Stability and credibility of a listed developer
  • Direct access to executive leadership and board-level engagement
  • Long-term project pipeline with multi-year visibility
  • Collaborative, high-performing Victorian team
  • Family Friendly Workplace certified
  • Exceptional paid parental leave
  • Performance incentive opportunity
This is an opportunity to take ownership of a flagship community within a structured, well-capitalised organisation that values leadership, delivery and long-term career growth where success isn’t defined by years of experience but ability.
 The Candidate
You Will Bring:
  • Strong land subdivision experience as a DM (essential)
  • Confidence presenting at JV/board level
  • Commercial acumen and stakeholder management capability
  • Leadership mindset with a genuine interest in mentoring and developing others
  • Town home experience (advantageous but not essential)
  • Ability to “hit the ground running” in a fast-paced collaborative environment
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Flagship project scale with infrastructure milestones underway
  • JV exposure
  • Clear portfolio ownership
  • Leadership responsibility
  • Hybrid flexibility with structured team culture
  • Career-defining opportunity within a listed developer
If you’re ready to lead complex community development projects and step into a high-visibility role within a respected national developer, we’d welcome a confidential discussion.  Clicky apply or email me directly; jenny@capstonerecruitment.com.au
