项目经理

About the Role
We are looking for a proactive, resourceful, and highly organised Project Manager – Real Estate & Property Development to help drive complex real estate projects forward, from land acquisition and due diligence through zoning, permitting, approvals, and ongoing project coordination.
This role is ideal for someone who understands the practical realities of real estate development and can manage multiple stakeholders, navigate approval processes, track outstanding documentation, and keep projects moving without needing constant supervision.
You will work closely with attorneys, tenants, government offices, city and state authorities, utility providers, and other stakeholders to coordinate requirements, resolve obstacles, and ensure important tasks are completed on time.
The ideal candidate is a strong independent problem-solver who takes ownership, anticipates potential delays, and consistently follows through. You should also be comfortable using AI tools such as ChatGPT to support research, organise information, draft correspondence, and identify next steps, while independently verifying information before acting on it.
Experience with U.S. real estate processes is strongly preferred.

What We're Looking For
We are looking for someone who is comfortable taking ownership of complicated projects and figuring out how to move them forward. You should be resourceful enough to chase outstanding approvals, investigate delays, coordinate different parties, and recommend solutions without needing someone to manage every step for you.
The successful candidate will demonstrate practical real estate project experience, strong independent judgement, and a consistent track record of turning outstanding tasks into completed outcomes.
Candidates who rely heavily on reminders, struggle to manage documentation, overlook important details, or lack practical experience navigating approvals and multiple stakeholders are unlikely to be a suitable fit.
