Asset & Development Manager – Perth Commercial / Mixed-Use Assets The Opportunity An exceptional, client-side opportunity has arisen for a proactive, results-driven Asset & Development Manager to join a highly engaged, lean, and collaborative team in Perth. While this position holds ultimate dual responsibility, our client is specifically seeking strong development delivery expertise first and foremost. If you are an ambitious Development Manager currently in the Melbourne market, this role offers a structured pathway to diversify your corporate real estate skill set. The position offers direct exposure to a complex, evolving portfolio, focusing heavily on the major transformation of a core metropolitan asset into a vibrant mixed-use precinct incorporating premium retail, office, and hotel components. The Role This role is instrumental in leading the asset’s ongoing major redevelopment and shaping its long-term commercial strategy. Key responsibilities include: Development Delivery: Monitor and drive development and capital works to ensure complex, large-scale commercial project phases are delivered on time, within budget, and with risks effectively managed. Boardroom Exposure: Prepare high-quality, regular strategic written recommendations for Management and Executive Boards to support long-term development objectives and financial sustainability. Asset & Portfolio Strategy: Assist in developing and implementing strategies to preserve and enhance long-term asset values. Commercial Operations: Oversee leasing and marketing strategies in collaboration with external leasing agents and marketing consultants. Financial Management: Review and manage financial plans, including annual budgets and five-year development forecast models. Stakeholder Leadership: Build and maintain strong tenant, builder, and consultant relationships, while guiding on-site property and facilities teams to meet performance targets. Skills & Experience To be successful in this role, you will bring a strong pedigree in project execution and a commercial mindset: Essential: Proven project development experience strictly within the commercial sector (exposure to Hotels, Office developments, or large-scale Retail assets is highly regarded). A university degree in Property, Property Development, Property Valuation, Finance, Economics, or a related business discipline. Strong financial acumen, with demonstrated experience in project budgeting, feasibility, forecasting, and commercial analysis. Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to produce clear, strategic executive recommendations. A flexible, adaptable mindset with a proactive, results-focused approach to complex redevelopments. Desirable: A foundational understanding of property management or leasing principles. Why Apply? This role will suit a Melbourne-based development professional who is open to move interstate to progress their career. Someone who is genuinely passionate about creating long-term value, thrives on challenge, and is excited by the opportunity to reposition and enhance complex, high-profile assets. You will work closely with senior client-side leadership in a lean, high-performing environment where your impact is visible every day. If you would like to hear more, reach out to Paul Nicol.
