We are seeking a Senior Development Manager to help lead projects from concept through stabilization as we continue to scale.

Position Overview

The Senior Development Manager will execute multifamily development projects by managing all facets of the development lifecycle—from initial site evaluation through stabilization. This role requires a strong owner’s-perspective mindset, the ability to manage complex processes and stakeholders, and the judgment to proactively identify and mitigate risk. The position is remote, with periodic travel to project sites and municipalities throughout the Midwest.

• Work directly with land sellers and brokers throughout acquisition and negotiation
• Lead and manage the due diligence process, ensuring risks are identified and mitigated prior to closing
• Coordinate with governmental agencies and municipalities through entitlements, zoning, and approvals
• Oversee consultants (civil, architectural, engineering, legal, etc.) through design development
• Manage project schedules, budgets, and development milestones
• Facilitate and oversee land and capital closings in coordination with internal and external partners
• Evaluate projects holistically, maintaining an owner’s perspective on risk, return, and execution
• Communicate clearly and effectively with internal leadership, partners, consultants, and public entities

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in multifamily development or a closely related role
• Proven experience managing projects from land acquisition through stabilization
• Strong understanding of due diligence, entitlements, design development, and closing processes
• Ability to work independently in a remote environment while managing multiple active projects
• Highly self-motivated, detail-oriented, and persistent
• Passion for executing projects the right way, not just the fastest way
• Dynamic verbal and written communication skills with strong interpersonal abilities
• Willingness to travel as needed to Midwest project sites and municipalities

Why Join Us

• Opportunity to play a key role in a growing multifamily platform
• High level of responsibility and visibility across the full development lifecycle
