About the Role
Reporting to the Group Director of Property & Places, this is an exciting opportunity to shape the development and sustainability agenda for one of London’s leading charities.
The Senior Development & Sustainability Manager will lead on identifying, developing, and delivering new development opportunities, refurbishment projects, and sustainability initiatives across YMCA St Paul’s Group’s diverse property portfolio.

You’ll bring a strong background in property development, sustainability, and asset management, ideally gained within social housing, local government, or charitable sectors. You’ll combine technical knowledge with strategic vision — capable of managing multiple projects and stakeholders, developing business cases, and driving innovation in sustainable building practices.
Above all, you’ll share YMCA St Paul’s Group’s passion for creating safe, inclusive, and environmentally responsible places that help people and communities thrive.
Qualifications & Experience
Significant experience in property development, capital project delivery, and sustainability strategy implementation
Proven ability to lead on feasibility, design, and delivery of development and refurbishment schemes
Strong understanding of environmental compliance, net zero carbon strategies, and energy performance standards
Recognised professional qualification in Surveying, Construction, Sustainability, or Project Management
Membership of a relevant professional body such as RICS, CIOB, or equivalent (desirable)
Excellent communication, stakeholder engagement, and report-writing skills
Why Join YMCA St Paul’s Group?
YMCA St Paul’s Group is one of the UK’s largest YMCAs, supporting thousands of young people each year through housing, health, and wellbeing initiatives. You’ll join a team that is committed to sustainable growth, social impact, and environmental responsibility, playing a central role in shaping how the organisation invests in and develops its estate.
This is a unique opportunity to combine professional challenge with purpose — contributing to projects that create real change in people’s lives while building a legacy of sustainability for future generations.
