Development Manager - Retail

A growing real estate developer is seeking a Development Manager to lead the execution of commercial and mixed‑use projects across the Greater Houston area. This is a role for someone who thrives in the field, in the details, and in the driver's seat-taking projects from early feasibility through design, permitting, infrastructure, construction, and successful turnover. You'll be the engine behind multiple ground‑up and redevelopment projects-guiding the full lifecycle with precision, ownership, and a bias toward action. You will:

• Oversee design, engineering, permitting, and construction from concept to completion
• Build and manage realistic schedules, budgets, and approval pathways
• Coordinate architects, engineers, consultants, and contractors to keep work moving
• Review technical reports (civil, environmental, traffic, geotech, surveys) and turn insights into decisions
• Navigate municipal processes, utility districts, and public‑infrastructure reimbursement mechanisms
• Lead progress updates and reporting for internal stakeholders, lenders, and partners
• Ensure projects transition smoothly to operations and long‑term management
• Solve problems early, communicate clearly, and keep the team aligned

This is not a theoretical role-it's execution at a high level. If you want to shape impactful projects without layers of bureaucracy, this is that opportunity.
