They’re currently looking for a Senior Development Manager to join their team and play a key role across acquisitions, development, and investment strategy. This is a unique opportunity to work directly with the partner leading the firm’s development and land initiatives.

You'll also support internal decision-making through market research, financial modeling, and coordination with construction and sales.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage the development process through design, entitlement, and pre-construction
  • Coordinate tenders, liaise with consultants, and analyze competitive bids
  • Conduct market research and support sales and marketing strategy
  • Build and maintain detailed financial models to guide investment decisions
  • Collaborate closely with internal leadership and contribute to the overall growth strategy
What We’re Looking For
  • 3–5+ years of experience in a Development Manager or Development Analyst role, ideally with exposure to both land and development management
  • Strong financial acumen and proficiency in Excel and modeling tools
  • Ability to work independently and thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial setting
  • Critical thinking, initiative, and a collaborative approach
  • Formal education is welcomed, but a proven ability to deliver results is what matters most
Why Join This Team? You’ll be joining a highly capable and close-knit group where your contributions will directly influence project outcomes and future growth. This is a rare opportunity to gain deep exposure to acquisitions, development, and investment under the mentorship of a senior partner, all within a dynamic and respected Toronto-based firm.
