Land Manager
Nottingham | £50,000–£70,000 + Package | Privately Owned Developer

The PLCs have slowed down. This business hasn’t.

A privately owned residential developer with a strong strategic land arm is taking advantage of a changing market and is looking to grow its land pipeline across the region.

This is a chance to join a business with ambition, capital and the appetite to acquire, at a time when reduced competition from the larger housebuilders is creating genuine opportunities in the land market.

And crucially, you won’t be joining a business where decisions disappear into layers of corporate approval.

You’ll have autonomy. You’ll have access to senior decision-makers. And you’ll have the opportunity to make your mark.

Based in Nottingham, the business is looking for a Land Manager who wants more than simply managing a pipeline — someone who wants to source opportunities, build relationships, secure land and play a key role in shaping the company’s next phase of growth.

The Role
This is a role offering significant autonomy.

Rather than operating within the layers and restrictions of a large PLC, you will have the opportunity to identify opportunities, build relationships and progress land acquisitions with the support of an experienced senior team.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Identifying and sourcing new land opportunities
• Building and maintaining relationships with landowners, agents and professional contacts
• Assessing land opportunities and undertaking initial feasibility
• Preparing and presenting land appraisals
• Negotiating acquisitions and heads of terms
• Working closely with the strategic land team on longer-term opportunities
• Managing external consultants throughout the acquisition process
• Supporting planning and technical due diligence
• Monitoring market opportunities and identifying potential acquisitions
• Taking ownership of projects from initial identification through to acquisition

About You
The ideal candidate will have experience in residential land acquisition, ideally gained within a housebuilder, developer or strategic land environment.

You could currently be working as a Land Manager, Land Buyer, Senior Land Buyer, Land & Development Manager, Strategic Land Manager or as a Land Agent looking to move into a developer environment.

The key requirement is a strong understanding of the residential land market, coupled with the commercial awareness and relationship-building skills required to identify and secure new opportunities.

This would suit someone who is ambitious, entrepreneurial and wants a role where they aren’t simply responsible for delivering someone else’s strategy — you’ll have the opportunity to help shape it.

The Opportunity
£50,000–£70,000 + package

Based in Nottingham, this is an opportunity to join a privately owned business at an exciting stage of its growth.

With the current market creating opportunities to acquire land that may previously have been difficult to secure, the business is looking to build on its existing platform and expand its pipeline.

For an ambitious Land Manager, it offers the combination of autonomy, access to senior decision-makers and genuine scope for career progression that can be difficult to find within a traditional PLC environment.
