Development Manager | Purpose-Led Projects in Retirement Living
At Levande, we're reimagining retirement living, creating vibrant, connected communities that enhance the lives of older Australians.
Backed by Australia's largest-ever Sustainability Linked Loan in the sector ($1.5 billion), we're delivering one of the most ambitious retirement and mixed-use pipelines in the country. Our focus is on quality, sustainability, and creating homes where people feel they truly belong.
We're now looking for a Development Manager to join our high-performing team and lead the end-to-end delivery of built-form projects across Victoria. This is a great opportunity for someone ready to take the next step in their development career and grow into a Senior Development Manager role.

- Managing full project lifecycle, from feasibility and planning through to construction and handover
- Driving commercial outcomes using tools like Estate Master
- Working closely with contractors, consultants, and internal teams to ensure timely, high-quality delivery
- Engaging with councils, community partners, and residents to bring our developments to life
- Championing WHS, design standards, and sustainability on-site
**What you'll bring**:
- Experience in built-form delivery (construction-phase strength is a must)
- Background in retirement living, aged care, or residential development (seniors living experience highly valued)
- Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
- Ambition and a growth mindset, ready to stretch into a more senior role
- Relevant qualifications in property, construction, or a related field
Why join Levande?
We're a purpose-led organisation backed by strong investment and a long-term vision. You'll be joining a team passionate about delivering projects that make a difference, and you'll be supported to grow while doing meaningful work.
