We specialize in historic rehabilitation financed with federal and state historic tax credits.

This is our first hire, the one that unlocks our next stage of growth. The Role You'll run the day\-to\-day operations of 6–8 projects at a time. That means sourcing and ordering materials, getting them to the right site on time, keeping every project on schedule and on budget, and handling the administrative work that keeps projects moving. You'll be trusted with money, keys, and confidential financials. Who Thrives Here Organized under pressure. You can keep 6–8 job sites, their materials, and their schedules straight at the same time. A sharp buyer. You compare quotes, push back on pricing, and catch an order that doesn't match the selection sheet. At home in two worlds. You're as comfortable meeting subs on a dusty job site as you are in a capital partner's conference room. Proactive. You solve problems instead of passing them along, and you know which few belong on the Principal's desk right away. Trustworthy and discreet with money, access, and deal terms. Unflappable when schedules slip, subs reschedule, and shipments arrive wrong. Required: a valid driver's license and reliable transportation. You'll also need to be comfortable on active job sites (heat, stairs, ladders, and carrying materials up to about 40 lbs).

You'll learn how development deals actually get done, from the inside: acquisition, tax credit financing, entitlements, construction, and disposition. We do enough volume that the learning compounds fast. As our first hire, you'll help shape the company, and the role grows as we do. So does your pay: the bonus plan is built so that when you help us take on more deals, you share directly in the result. What You'll Own Sourcing, Ordering \& Materials.

That includes weekly GC check\-ins with the Principal, Friday status reports, budget vs. actual tracking, change orders, and coordinating subs and deliveries.

You'll keep sites organized and secure, and make sure work is protected before the finish trades start. Project Records. You'll be the single source of truth on grout colors, tile layouts, and paint schedules, ready on demand without hunting. Financial Administration. You'll handle AP/AR across entities, utility accounts, construction draw schedules and lender deadlines, and per\-project expense tracking. You'll also support our outside CPA and bookkeeper. Historic Tax Credit Compliance. You'll work with our Architect and remote assistant to keep tax credit documentation, rehab expense records, and the photos SHPO and NPS require complete and current.
