As a rapidly growing leader in sustainable real estate development and construction, we’re not just imagining a better future — we’re building it. From development to construction to property management — we do it all, and you can help us shape what’s next.

• Collaborative, values-driven culture where every voice matters
• Clear opportunities for professional growth and advancement
• Flexibility and support for work-life balance

As the Senior Project Manager, you will serve as a functional leader overseeing a team of Project Managers responsible for projects from development through construction and final handoff to property management.

This role is critical as Good Co scales its development and construction pipeline. The Senior Project Manager brings structure, predictability, and leadership to a growing portfolio while helping shape how projects are planned, executed, and delivered company-wide. You will drive consistent execution, ensure accountability to portfolio goals and WIP reporting, and develop high-performing Project Managers.

• Drive consistent project execution across development, pre‑construction, construction, and closeout
• Own accountability for portfolio performance, including schedules, budgets, risks, and WIP reporting accuracy
• Partner closely with Pre‑Construction on bidding strategy, contractor evaluation, and scope alignment
• Provide final recommendation and decision authority on contractor selection
• Identify and manage portfolio‑level risks, serving as the senior escalation point for complex issues
• Ensure realistic planning, sequencing, and forecasting across the project portfolio
• Communicate clearly with senior leadership through concise reporting and executive‑ready summaries
• Improve and standardize project management processes to increase predictability and performance

• 6+ years of experience in real estate development, construction management, or related fields.
• Prior experience leading Project Managers or cross‑functional teams.
• Strong understanding of development and construction life cycles and related financial drivers.
• Demonstrated ability to build schedules, evaluate estimates, and manage risk across a portfolio of projects.
• Excellent communication, leadership, and problem‑solving skills.
• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Real Estate, Architecture, Engineering, or related field (Master’s preferred).
