Entry Level Real Estate Development Jobs in Nebraska

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.

Property Finance & Lender Coordination

Construction, Operations & Lease-Up Support

• Participate in operational reporting and lease-up activities
• Help coordinate information between consultants, contractors, and management partners

Desired Background

Relevant experience may include:

• Commercial Real Estate

• Property Finance
• Development Coordination
• Construction Coordination
• Project Management
• Assistant Project Management
• Property Management
• Real Estate Operations

Ideal Candidate

• Highly organized and proactive
• Strong follow-through and attention to detail
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities simultaneously
• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment
• Financially curious and comfortable working with project budgets, lender documentation, and development-related financial information
• Interested in commercial real estate development
• Eager to learn, grow, and take on increasing responsibility over time

Compensation & Additional Offer Components

• Base salary: $85,000-$95,000
• Additional compensation and benefits package to be discussed during the interview process
• Remote work environment

• Company phone or phone stipend
• Mileage reimbursement for occasional project site visits within approximately a 200-mile radius

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Direct access to ownership and decision-makers
• Exposure to the full multifamily development lifecycle
• Opportunity to work alongside highly experienced real estate developers
• Lean entrepreneurial environment where your contributions will be visible and impactful
• Broad exposure to site evaluation, due diligence, entitlements, property finance, financing, construction, operations, and leasing
• Significant opportunity for professional growth and 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.

Long-Term Opportunity

The company is seeking someone who is organized, proactive, commercially minded, and eager to learn. 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.
