Lead the preparation and submission of tenant due diligence materials and work closely with tenant reps on development timelines.
Coach and support development associates on project execution best practices and municipal processes.

Proven track record of managing large-scale, multi-million-dollar projects from inception to completion.
Experience working with public agencies and municipal bodies during development approval processes.

Excellent communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
Leadership experience with small cross-functional teams; ability to mentor and guide junior staff.
Comfortable working in a high-accountability, transparent leadership environment.
Must be highly detail-oriented, adaptable to change, and thrive under tight timelines.
Experience outside traditional CRE will be considered—diverse backgrounds are welcome.
Compensation & Benefits
Competitive base salary, dependent on experience.
Annual bonus structure with two-tiered payout (August and March).
Full benefits: health, vision, dental starting at 90 days.
