About Novus Corporation
Novus Corporation Limited is a London-based property investment and development advisory business specialising in prime London real estate, property acquisitions, investment analysis, asset repositioning and the coordination of property investment and development projects.
Our activities include evaluating investment opportunities, conducting financial feasibility assessments, coordinating external professional advisers and supporting the planning and implementation of residential and hospitality-related property projects.
As our investment portfolio develops, we are seeking an experienced and commercially focused Business and Investment Project Manager to strengthen our project management, financial oversight and operational coordination capabilities.
About the Role
We are looking for a highly organised and analytical Business and Investment Project Manager to oversee the planning, coordination and financial monitoring of our property investment and development-related projects.
The successful candidate will work directly with the company's Director and collaborate with external consultants, financial institutions, solicitors, architects, surveyors and other professional advisers.
The position focuses on project planning, investment feasibility, budget management, risk assessment, stakeholder coordination and performance reporting.
This is a management-side, office-based position rather than a construction site management or sales role.
Key Responsibilities

* Conduct financial feasibility assessments, cost evaluations and commercial analysis of potential investment opportunities.
* Monitor project expenditure, financial commitments, cash flow requirements and performance against approved budgets.

* Support the evaluation of property acquisitions, refurbishment proposals, conversion opportunities and alternative property-use strategies.
* Prepare regular project progress reports, financial updates and management presentations.
* Establish and maintain project monitoring procedures, reporting frameworks and internal controls.
* Review consultant proposals, supplier quotations, project costs and contractual deliverables.
* Track project milestones, identify potential delays and escalate material financial or operational issues to senior management.
* Support projects throughout their lifecycle, from initial feasibility and investment assessment through to implementation and completion.
* Ensure project activities remain aligned with the company's commercial objectives, approved budgets and investment strategies.
Essential Requirements
* Bachelor's degree in Business Management, Finance, Economics, Project Management, Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, Real Estate or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant professional experience.
* Minimum five years of relevant professional experience in project management, project coordination or a comparable role.
* Demonstrable experience in budget management, financial monitoring, cost control and project scheduling.
* Strong analytical, organisational and problem-solving capabilities.
* Ability to manage multiple projects, coordinate stakeholders and prioritise competing deadlines.
* Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint and project management software.
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
* Ability to work independently, exercise sound commercial judgement and report effectively to senior management.
Desirable Experience
* Previous experience in property investment, real estate development, asset management or investment advisory.
* Experience coordinating external consultants, professional advisers and financial institutions.
* Knowledge of investment feasibility studies, financial modelling and project cost planning.
* Familiarity with residential refurbishment, property conversion or hospitality-related investment projects.
* Professional project management qualifications such as PRINCE2, PMP or equivalent.
* Fluency in an additional language alongside English would be advantageous.
What We Offer
* Competitive annual salary of £50,000–£60,000, depending on qualifications and experience.
* Permanent, full-time employment based in Knightsbridge, London.
* Opportunity to participate in property investment and development-related projects across prime London locations.
* Direct collaboration with senior management, investors and experienced professional advisers.
