The Collective is going to be the largest Co-Living provider across the globe. We are creating one of a kind, iconic and emotive spaces to live, work and play.  You are responsible for ensuring the places we deliver are extraordinary, breaking the mould, creative and innovative spaces that challenge every concept.  You need to own the process of creating buildings that enhance every aspect of our member’s lives through community, convenience, and value for money.  We want free thinkers, exhilarated individuals that always want to make the next best thing, strive for perfection and challenge every perception.

What is expected?

You don’t want to stagnate, you don’t want to do the same thing every day. We expect you to use every opportunity to learn and develop, challenge the norms and be the best. Whether you're overseeing numerous schemes and ensuring each one hits the target, helping others to develop and ensure we maintain the gold standard, or working with investors and partners to build and maintain our ever-growing relationships, you are continuously striving for excellence and inspiring others. Ultimately, if you are not learning, enjoying and growing in your job then you aren’t doing it right.

What do I do?

The Collective is a company of many parts; learn them all, be a part of the community, become a Collectivist.  But, there has to be a focus, right?  Working, leading and owning every stage of the development.  

Planning; Define and deliver the winning strategy, embracing speed and guaranteeing the right result.  

Design; Collaborate with our in-house design team, understand the local requirements, deliver our iconic vision.  

Construction; Break the mould; just because it works doesn’t make it right.  Innovate on delivery methods, try something new, beat the curve on cost and time. 

Finance & Commercial; It's your business, your money.  Treat it as your own and provide best value through commercial negotiations with Consultants and Contractors.  Navigate the best funding route and maintain positive relations with all parties.  

Relationships & Management; Both internal and external, there are many parties that need to input in to the developments you will be delivering.  Understand the requirements, the nuances, the intricacies of maintaining those relationships and the importance of the knowledge each individual brings.

It's up to you to drive the focus, ensure the improvement, guarantee the collaboration.

What does my day look like?

You will be responsible for owning project delivery across multiple sites; managing a wide range of stakeholders and driving the team  to deliver spaces for an unprecedented member experience. You will support the management team on delivering our overall strategies, inputting with your experience and being an integral part of the best development team around.  We would look for you to take the initiative and introduce new processes, streamline our working, come up with new ideas and put them in to action.  Ultimately, you will need to hone your skills so all teams are performing as well as you are; guaranteeing accurate and concise communication, timely and relevant reporting, meticulous budget control and tough negotiating, realising the benefits of great design and building relationships with the whole team, pushing the limits of expectations to get the best product possible.
