Development Manager

Are you the person who always owns the outcome, not just your piece of the process? Do you thrive at the intersection of strategy, execution, relationships, and problem-solving? Are you energized by taking a deal from concept to reality and being the one person who knows every detail, every risk, and every opportunity along the way?

If so, LV Collective may be the perfect place for you.

We're looking for a Development Manager to serve as the through-line and ultimate deal owner across the entire development lifecycle—from initial Investment Committee approval through Issued For Construction (IFC) issuance and Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) reconciliation. This role is ideal for someone who loves bringing order to complexity, building relationships, driving accountability, and ensuring that no detail falls through the cracks.

At LV Collective, the Development Manager is more than a project coordinator. You are the central point of accountability for the deal. You'll partner with internal specialists across Entitlements, Development, Preconstruction, Construction, Investments, Design, Leasing, and Marketing while maintaining ownership of the project's schedule, budget, risks, milestones, and overall success.

The right candidate is a highly organized self-starter who can confidently manage multiple priorities, proactively identify challenges before they become problems, and effectively communicate with everyone from municipal officials and consultants to executive leadership and capital partners. You balance strategic thinking with detailed execution and thrive in a fast-paced environment where every day presents new opportunities to learn, lead, and create value.

Essentially, as the perfect candidate for this position...

• You take ownership and accountability seriously.
• You are the person who always knows the status of the deal.
• You enjoy solving complex problems before others even realize they exist.
• You can confidently manage consultants, stakeholders, and project teams while keeping everyone aligned toward a common goal.
• You thrive in a collaborative environment and know when to pull in the right experts.
• You can switch seamlessly between high-level strategy and detailed execution.
• You have exceptional communication, organization, and project management skills.
• You embrace challenges, adapt quickly, and maintain momentum through changing priorities.
• You have a serious case of GSD (Get Stuff Done).

The Development Manager owns deals end-to-end across the full LV development lifecycle — from initial Investment Committee approval through IFC drawing issuance and GMP reconciliation. The DM is the through-line of every deal: the single point of accountability that carries the deal across phases as specialists lead their respective handoffs.

• Own the deal from initial IC approval through IFC issuance and GMP reconciliation
• Maintain a current and accurate deal status, schedule, and budget across the full lifecycle
• Surface deal-critical risks, decisions, and assumptions to specialists and executive leadership without prompting
• Carry the deal narrative — context, history, and current state — across phases without loss of fidelity
• Develop proactive phase transition reports and presentations for interdepartmental project status updates and hand-offs
• Evaluate and distribute project communications internally to ensure all LV teams remain informed on project progress
• Define and track project scope, goals, objectives, assumptions, constraints, budgets, and resource allocation throughout the lifecycle
• Develop and maintain workflow management and communication systems across project teams
• Monitor, track, and report on project deliverables and milestone progress
• Record meeting minutes, maintain action item logs, and establish accountability follow-up procedures
