    $350,000 – $525,000 base salary + annual bonus and project incentives | Full-time | Office-based in Red Bank with regular site visits across Monmouth County
     
    Denholtz is looking for a senior development leader to grow our development platform and take projects from site selection all the way through stabilization. You'll own the full development lifecycle for a portfolio of ground-up and redevelopment projects: due diligence, entitlements, design, financing, construction oversight, and lease-up. Reporting to the CEO, you'll work closely with ownership, asset management, property management, and outside consultants, and you'll build and mentor the development team. This is a hands-on leadership role with real ownership over how projects get done.
     
    What you'll do
    • Find and evaluate new development and redevelopment opportunities, including site analysis, market studies, and highest-and-best-use reviews
    • Build pro formas and investment memos, and present recommendations to ownership and the investment committee
    • Lead zoning, site plan, subdivision, and other land-use approvals, and represent Denholtz at public hearings and community meetings
    • Select and manage land-use attorneys, architects, engineers, and traffic and environmental consultants
    • Drive design, permitting, value engineering, and contractor bidding and selection
    • Own development budgets, schedules, and cash-flow forecasts, and support construction and permanent financing, including lender due diligence and draw requests
    • Pursue tax incentives, PILOT agreements, redevelopment designations, and grants where they fit
    • Oversee general contractors through completion, tracking cost, schedule, quality, and safety, and approve change orders within your authority
    • Hand off completed projects to property management and support lease-up and stabilization
    • Hire, lead, and mentor the development team, and deliver regular project reports to ownership, partners, and lenders
    What we're looking for
    • 10+ years of real estate development experience, including at least 3 years leading projects or teams
    • A track record delivering ground-up projects from entitlement through stabilization
    • Strong financial skills: pro formas, development budgets, and capital stack structuring
    • Working knowledge of zoning, land use, and the New Jersey municipal approval process
    • Experience managing architects, consultants, and general contractors
    • Clear, confident communication, negotiation, and presentation skills
    • Bachelor's degree in real estate, finance, architecture, engineering, construction management, urban planning, or a related field
    • Advanced Excel; experience with Argus, Yardi, or similar real estate software preferred
    • New Jersey multifamily, mixed-use, or industrial experience, existing relationships with municipalities, lenders, and contractors, and an MBA or MRED are a plus
    What you get
    Final compensation will be based on experience and qualifications, and offers above the posted range may be considered for exceptional candidates.
    • Annual performance bonus
    • Participation in project promote and incentive plans
    • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
    • 401(k) with employer match
    • Paid vacation, sick days, and holidays
    • Professional development support
