Senior Manager Development Business Solution

Job description

The senior manager – development business solutions design & delivery drives the design, configuration, and execution of bespoke technology solutions, specialized applications, and end-to-end process automations across the entire property development life cycle.

This role serves as a key technical innovator at the intersection of enterprise software, custom development, and real estate operations—creating tailored solutions for unique mega-project requirements across feasibility, master planning, design, logistics, QHSEW, construction management, asset development, and real estate operations.

You will orchestrate custom software delivery, automate complex cross-functional workflows, ensure inter-system consistency, and provide transparent tracking across multiple property development domains.

Responsibilities:

• Custom & tailored solutions: Lead the design, prototyping, and end-to-end delivery of bespoke software applications, specialized web tools, and domain-specific modules designed to address unique operational requirements not covered by off-the-shelf software.
• Property lifecycle coverage: Build and deploy tailored digital tools supporting feasibility, master planning, design, logistics, QHSEW, construction management, asset development, and real estate operations.
• Domain integration: Ensure custom-built applications integrate smoothly with core enterprise platforms (e.g., ERP, BIM, GIS, cost management, and project controls) for unified data exchange.
• Cross-functional collaboration: Work closely with domain experts in master planning, engineering, construction, and finance to translate complex operational needs into technical specifications for custom solutions.
• End-to-end automation: Identify manual bottlenecks across planning, engineering, and finance workflows, automate engineering pipelines to streamline approvals, data ingestion, and status synchronization.
• Cross-domain automation: Connect siloed processes between commercial, engineering, and finance teams to eliminate dual entry, reduce human error, and accelerate delivery timelines.
• Data integrity & consistency: Establish automated data quality checks, validation scripts, and integration protocols to ensure a single, consistent source of truth across all platforms.
• Deliver vendor execution activities by monitoring performance against agreed service levels and delivery expectations.
• Execute engagement with vendors to address incidents, defects, and enhancement requirements impacting portfolios.
• Maintain alignment with stakeholders to ensure consistent application performance.
• Execute application activities in line with approved governance frameworks, controls, and documentation standards.
• Deliver evidence and inputs for audits, reviews, and assurance activities related to delivered applications.
• Deliver improvements to enhance application effectiveness and user experience.
• Define performance goals at the start of the year in discussion with the reporting manager and ensure that the goals are monitored and achieved during the year.
• Take ownership of his/her own learning agenda by identifying development needs in consultation with the reporting manager and working towards bridging the gaps through various means which go beyond just training.
• Understand the competencies relevant to his/her role and work towards displaying as well as developing these effectively.
• Keep abreast of relevant professional/industry developments, new techniques, and current issues through continued education and professional networks.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, software engineering, information systems, or a related discipline.
• 7+ years of experience in software engineering, digital solution design, and systems delivery, with 5+ years in a leadership role.
