As
Project Delivery Lead, you own a project from the day it enters diligence to the day it becomes a finished home that Sales accepts as ready to sell. You are engaged from the start, pressure-testing whether a deal can actually be delivered before we commit to it, then turning our land team's feasibility and our project architects' drawings into a permitted, priced, scheduled, build-ready plan and carrying it through production, install, and the field as the single owner of schedule, budget, and risk. You are the connective tissue that keeps nothing from falling in the seams between teams, and you help build the process and system of record that tell the company how every project is really performing. You will be measured above all on delivering projects on time, on budget, and at high quality, with no surprises. This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role reporting directly to the CEO and Chief of Staff, with a clear path to grow as you prove you can carry projects at volume.
WHAT YOU'LL DO- Engage from diligence. Partner with the land team and underwriting to pressure-test constructability, cost, and schedule before a deal is committed, so we only take on projects we can deliver
- Own each project end to end as the single point of accountability, from diligence through design, production, install, and field construction, to a home accepted by Sales as ready for sale
- Own the schedule. Build and maintain the critical path across design, factory, install, and field, and drive momentum through every handoff
- Own the budget. Manage each project to its approved cost, track cost-to-complete, protect margin, and release spend only when scope is complete and quality standards are met
- Own risk. Spot problems early, size them, and drive mitigation before they compound, holding the line on the standard product rather than absorbing scope creep
- Help build the process and the system of record for performance. Stand up the stage gates, handoff standards, and reporting that track schedule, cost, quality, and risk, and be the single source of truth for project performance
- Coordinate across real estate operations, project architects, production, install, field operations, and sales. Align factory output and site readiness so the whole chain moves as one, and own both handoffs: a clean brief in from the land team, a documented, ready-for-sale home out to Sales
- Drive quality and drive down punch and rework, holding every stage to scope and standard through checklists, gates, and field verification
- Give leadership a clear, honest read. Run project reviews, keep documentation current, and communicate changes to scope, plan, and spec proactively
QUALIFICATIONS- 8+ years delivering complex residential or construction projects, with direct budget-and-schedule ownership across multiple functions (production homebuilding, manufactured or modular housing, or vertically integrated development strongly preferred)
- A track record of owning projects end to end and delivering them on time, on budget, and to standard, not just executing one phase
- Experience building process and structure where little existed, standing up the gates, playbooks, and reporting that let a team deliver consistently at volume
- Comfortable with metrics and reporting. You help build the system of record, track performance rigorously, and use data to drive decisions rather than react to them
- Proven ability to manage risk: spotting problems early, escalating with judgment, and driving mitigation to resolution
- High EQ and exceptional stakeholder management, able to manage down to crews and trades and up to executives and investors, and to hold partners accountable while keeping the relationship strong
- A bias toward standardized, repeatable product over bespoke, one-off projects
- Highly organized and calm under pressure in a fast-paced, high-volume environment; strong problem-solving and communication skills
- Proficiency with schedule and project management tools (e.g., Procore, ACC, MS Project, etc.) and comfort with Google Workspace
- Strong working knowledge of residential building systems, site work, and the construction-to-handover process
- Bachelor's degree in architecture, construction management, engineering, business, or a related discipline preferred, not required
- A valid driver's license
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION- This role reports directly to the CEO and Chief of Staff, with a clear path to grow into a broader senior delivery role as AHC scales
- As AHC grows, this role is expected to expand from owning individual projects to owning a portfolio and, eventually, building and leading a delivery team
- AHC provides comprehensive benefits, PTO, and participation in company equity programs
