Who are MCR

MCR Property Group is a national real estate investment and development company operating across a broad range of sectors including residential, student accommodation, office, retail, and industrial property.

MCR continues to grow its portfolio through the acquisition of complex, dislocated, and value-add opportunities, unlocking potential through intensive asset management, redevelopment, and strategic repositioning. As part of our continued expansion, we are seeking an experienced and commercially astute Asset Manager – Property Development to join our Manchester-based team.

This is a fast-paced, multi-sector role suited to a well-rounded property professional with strong development, investment, and asset management experience, who is comfortable operating from acquisition through delivery and exit.

The Role

The successful candidate will play a key role in identifying, assessing, and progressing new development and investment opportunities. This includes sourcing assets, undertaking initial feasibility and viability assessments, and supporting acquisitions through to completion.

You will work closely with planning consultants, project managers, sales teams, and external advisors, managing assets from acquisition through planning, development, stabilisation, and exit. Responsibilities will include preparing and presenting competitive proposals and bids, producing valuations and strategy papers for internal stakeholders, joint venture partners, and funders, and supporting the Asset and Fund Management functions throughout the lifecycle of each project.

The role also involves overseeing design teams through the planning process, working collaboratively with project management and procurement teams to ensure schemes are delivered efficiently and in line with business objectives. You will take responsibility for the ongoing management of existing and stabilised assets, identifying opportunities to enhance value and performance, and actively assessing exit strategies to maximise returns on a project-by-project basis.

About you

We are looking for an experienced, commercially driven property professional with a strong existing industry network and a proven ability to manage projects successfully, efficiently, and profitably. You will have broad experience across development and investment, with particular exposure to areas such as planning, construction, and property or asset management.

Strong communication and negotiation skills are essential, with the ability to engage confidently with colleagues, consultants, clients, funders, and joint venture partners. You will be adaptable and responsive, able to react quickly to changes in market conditions, business requirements, and government policy, while maintaining a clear focus on value creation and risk management.

An entrepreneurial mindset, strong organisational skills, and the ability to operate effectively in a fast-moving environment are critical to success in this role.
