Job description

Project Executive

We build quality, community-oriented rental homes that create meaningful relationships and extraordinary places. As Project Executive you will turn investment theses into completed multifamily and build-to-rent communities that residents love and that meet our green-building standards. Your decisions on schedule, cost, quality, and stakeholder alignment directly determine whether we deliver places that last.

Performance Objectives

• Deliver two to three multifamily or build-to-rent projects (typically $80M-$250M each) on schedule and within 3% of approved budget, achieving targeted LEED, NGBS, or equivalent certifications.
• Lead integrated teams of development, construction, design, and operations professionals so that punch-list items at certificate of occupancy stay under 0.5% of contract value and first-year resident satisfaction scores exceed 85%.
• Secure and manage all entitlements, permits, and third-party approvals so groundbreaking occurs within 90 days of land close on 90% of assigned deals.
• Identify and implement value-engineering and procurement strategies that recapture at least 2% of hard costs without compromising durability or resident experience.
• Establish and report monthly earned-value, risk, and cash-flow metrics that give Investment Management and Asset Management full visibility and enable course corrections before variance exceeds 2%.
• Mentor two to three Project Managers so they independently run $50M+ phases within 18 months, expanding our bench for national growth.

Environment & Resources

You report to the Regional Managing Director and work alongside a dedicated development, construction, and capital-markets team. You will have authority over project-level budgets, access to national vendor contracts, Procore, and in-house sustainability specialists. Corporate legal, finance, and investment-management support is available for every close and recapitalization.

Essential Qualifications

• 10+ years delivering multifamily or similar residential communities, including at least three projects over $100M from entitlement through stabilization.
• Proven record of finishing projects on time and within 5% of budget while meeting third-party green-building certifications.
• Ability to lead cross-functional teams of 15-40 people and hold contractors, architects, and municipalities accountable to committed dates.
• Hands-on experience with municipal entitlement processes, GMP or CM-at-risk contracts, and owner-controlled insurance programs.
• Comfort presenting monthly performance and risk packages to internal investment committees and external capital partners.

Role Selling Points

• National platform with dedicated Investment Management capital launched in 2019, giving you a multi-year pipeline rather than one-off deals.
• Direct influence on both design quality and long-term operations because we develop, build, and manage our own communities.
• Growth-stage company (1,001-5,000 employees) that still operates with an entrepreneurial, relationship-first culture.
• Explicit mandate to apply green-building practices that reduce operating costs and raise resident satisfaction
