About the Role
Good Carbon is seeking an experienced General Manager of Curation to lead the real estate development function, moving projects from post-acquisition through construction readiness. This role ensures projects are properly scoped, designed, permitted, budgeted, and prepared for construction, while integrating energy efficiency and clean energy infrastructure.
Responsibilities

- Manage project timelines for design, entitlements, permitting, approvals, budgeting, and pre-construction planning.
- Establish clear milestones and maintain visibility into project progress, risks, decisions, and resource needs.
- Ensure development activities support company delivery schedules, financial goals, and portfolio priorities.
- Manage multiple projects with concurrent deadlines and competing priorities.
- Ensure projects are construction-ready with complete drawings, specifications, engineering documentation, budgets, schedules, permits, and approvals.
- Establish and enforce development stage gates and readiness reviews.
- Partner with Construction leadership to confirm constructability, cost accuracy, procurement considerations, and execution requirements.
- Improve the quality and consistency of development-to-construction handoffs.
- Minimize late design changes, incomplete documentation, and avoidable construction delays.
- Partner with Acquisitions to evaluate feasibility, project scope, site considerations, and early development risks.
- Coordinate with Finance and Legal to align projects with underwriting assumptions, funding requirements, tax credits, incentives, and contractual obligations.
- Work with Property Management to ensure development decisions support long-term operations and resident needs.
- Provide company leadership with clear reporting on pipeline status, risks, decisions, and delivery readiness.
- Develop and manage development budgets and pre-construction cost estimates.
- Ensure project scope and design decisions remain aligned with underwriting assumptions and margin expectations.
- Identify cost risks early and recommend design, scope, or delivery adjustments.
- Partner with Finance on financial modeling, incentive planning, and funding compliance.
- Track budget performance and improve the accuracy of development-stage forecasting.
- Incorporate energy efficiency, electrification, geothermal, battery energy storage, and other clean technologies into development planning.
- Coordinate with Product, Engineering, Finance, and external specialists on system design, incentives, regulatory requirements, and operational considerations.
- Ensure clean energy systems are incorporated into project documentation, budgets, schedules, and construction-readiness requirements.
- Evaluate emerging energy technologies for potential use across the development portfolio.
- Lead, develop, and hold accountable a team that may include development managers, project managers, and external consultants.
- Establish clear roles, goals, performance expectations, and decision-making authority.
- Coach team members and build internal capability in development management, project delivery, and clean energy integration.
- Support workforce planning, recruiting, onboarding, and succession planning as the development pipeline grows.
- Build a team capable of delivering consistent results without dependence on daily GM involvement.
- Manage relationships with architects, engineers, consultants, permitting authorities, utilities, and other project stakeholders.
- Establish clear scopes, timelines, budgets, and quality expectations for external partners.
- Hold consultants accountable for complete and timely deliverables.
- Develop consistent methods for selecting, evaluating, and managing development partners.
- Implement standardized workflows, documentation requirements, stage gates, reporting, and project-review processes.
- Establish operating rhythms for pipeline reviews, milestone tracking, risk escalation, and decision-making.
- Use development data and project metrics to improve predictability and performance.
- Build scalable systems that reduce key-person dependency and support portfolio growth.
