• Build and maintain relationships with municipal staff and officials.
• Coordinate the design team through concept, schematic, and construction documents.
• Navigate environmental and jurisdictional matters and infrastructure coordination.
• Support debt and equity sourcing, lender/LP reporting, and draw management.
• Track project budgets against approved capitalization and flag variances.
• Maintain investor-facing reporting standards and respond to partner diligence requests.
• Oversee the GC relationship and construction phase, including schedule, budget, change orders, and quality control.
• Manage value engineering decisions, RFIs, and design clarifications.
• Coordinate permitting, inspections, and certificate of occupancy milestones.
• Coordinate the transition from construction to operations, including marketing, leasing, and amenity activation.
• Track absorption against underwriting and manage the path to stabilized occupancy and NOI.
• Lead the handoff to property management and asset management.
• Manage a portfolio of concurrent projects at varying phases, prioritizing across competing deadlines and resources.
• Maintain master schedules, risk registers, and reporting dashboards for executive leadership.
• Mentor analysts and junior team members.

• Working knowledge of entitlements, zoning, and municipal approval processes in the Northeast.
• Experience coordinating design and construction teams and managing GC relationships.
• Excellent communication skills with the credibility to represent the firm to municipalities, lenders, and capital partners.
