Head of Development Planning Division – Major Mixed-Use Development – South Korea
A unique opportunity to lead the development planning for one of South Korea’s most ambitious real estate projects.
We are partnering with a prominent Korean conglomerate with deep roots in the construction sector as they establish a dedicated real estate development arm. Their first flagship project is a high-profile mixed-use development in Central Seoul — encompassing residential towers, premium hospitality, offices, and retail.
As Head of Development Planning, you’ll shape the strategic direction of the division and oversee end-to-end execution of large-scale residential, hotel, and office/retail developments. This is a rare opportunity to define the future skyline of Seoul while building and mentoring a team from the ground up.
What you'll be doing:
-
Lead the strategic planning and concept design of complex mixed-use projects.
-
Oversee market research, positioning, and feasibility studies to guide investment decisions.
-
Drive projects through all stages of the lifecycle — from concept to handover.
-
Collaborate with internal teams and external consultants to ensure delivery excellence.
-
Build a high-performing division and foster a collaborative, innovation-focused culture.
What we’re looking for:
-
15+ years’ experience in mixed-use development (residential, hospitality, and commercial).
-
Proven leadership in managing multi-disciplinary teams and complex projects.
-
Strong background in market analysis, feasibility, and financial modelling.
-
Bachelor's in real estate, urban planning, architecture, or a related field; Master's preferred.
-
Fluency in English and Korean language is a requirement.
If you’re ready to take on a defining role in shaping one of Seoul’s most exciting developments, I’d love to hear from you. Please reach out to me directly at Matthew.Donovan@mrgglobal.com to express your interest or arrange a confidential discussion.
