Project Manager

Rise Real Estate•Jacksonville, FL

17d•$115,000 - $165,000•Onsite

About The Position

RISE is a vertically integrated real estate platform that develops, constructs, and operates multifamily communities designed for long-term ownership. We are not managing projects for outside clients. We build and hold our own assets—meaning construction execution directly impacts investment performance, operational efficiency, lease-up velocity, and long-term property value. Our Project Managers are expected to operate with ownership mentality because the organization itself is the owner. This role is designed for experienced operators who understand both construction execution and financial accountability. The Project Manager leads construction execution from preconstruction through closeout across large-scale multifamily developments. This role requires strong financial discipline, high-level communication ability, operational leadership, schedule ownership, and confidence managing complex stakeholder environments. You will be expected to solve problems proactively, drive accountability across teams, and maintain alignment between field execution and investment objectives.
