Remote | Multifamily Real Estate Development | $85,000-$95,000
About the Opportunity
A successful and growing privately held multifamily real estate development company is seeking a Development Operations Manager to support projects throughout the development lifecycle.
The company has been operating for more than a decade and has successfully developed approximately 2,000 apartment units while maintaining a lean, entrepreneurial structure. Rather than operating like a large corporate developer, the ownership team works closely with a network of lenders, attorneys, engineers, architects, consultants, general contractors, and property management professionals.
This role offers a unique opportunity to work directly with ownership and gain exposure to virtually every stage of multifamily development, including site evaluation, due diligence, entitlements, property finance, financing, construction, operations, and lease-up.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone who wants to build a long-term career in commercial real estate development while taking on increasing responsibility over time.

Unlike larger organizations where employees are often limited to a single function, this role offers exposure across multiple aspects of the development business. The successful candidate will gain experience and knowledge that would typically take years to acquire within a larger corporate environment.

For the right individual, this role can become a meaningful long-term career opportunity with increasing responsibility, expanded leadership opportunities, and significant professional growth as the company continues to expand.
