Remote Director Development Jobs in Nebraska (NOW HIRING)

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 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.

The company is not looking for someone who has already mastered every aspect of development. Instead, they're seeking someone with a solid commercial real estate foundation, strong business maturity, excellent organizational skills, and the desire to continue learning while taking on increasing responsibility over time while working directly with experienced ownership.
