The final level will be determined based on each candidate's professional experience, qualifications, and overall fit for the role.

Vivmark Residential is seeking a Vice President or Senior Director of Development Operations to lead the processes, systems, governance, and operational infrastructure that support one of the nation's most active multifamily development platforms.

This role sits at the center of the development organization and partners closely with Development, Construction, Design, Operations, Asset Management, Finance, Legal, HR, and Technology teams to drive efficiency, consistency, and transparency across the development lifecycle.

The successful candidate will be a strategic thinker with deep real estate development process expertise, strong financial acumen, and a proven ability to improve complex business processes. This leader will help shape how investment decisions are made, how projects move through approvals, how performance is measured, and how the organization scales for future growth.

You’ll create and maintain the tools, policies, approval frameworks, and decision-making processes that help ensure consistent execution across markets, product types, and investment opportunities.

Working closely with Development, Design, and Construction leadership, you’ll help continuously refine standards, incorporate lessons learned, and drive disciplined decision-making throughout the development pipeline.

You’ll oversee the governance and management of investment approval processes, including Management Investment Committee (MIC) materials and Development Community Report (DCR) materials, timelines, analytics, and protocols.

You’ll ensure underwriting assumptions remain current, coordinate input from stakeholders across multiple functions, and help leadership make informed investment decisions supported by clear and accurate analysis.
