  • Manage multiple projects or client accounts concurrently while maintaining clear priorities, milestones, and deliverables.
  • Establish and monitor project budgets, schedules, work plans, and financial performance; identify risks and make timely adjustments.
  • Serve as a primary client contact, guiding communication, addressing concerns, and maintaining strong, responsive relationships.
  • Coordinate closely with project architects, designers, technical staff, and consultants to support integrated and successful project delivery.
  • Lead regular project reviews to evaluate progress, resolve challenges, and maintain quality and accountability.
  • Oversee consultant selection, contracting, coordination, and performance.
  • Support project billing, invoicing, forecasting, and related financial administration.
  • Provide clear direction, mentorship, and constructive feedback to project team members.
  • Participate in client development, industry networking, and pursuit efforts that support new and repeat business.

Skills & Requirements
  • 5-10 years of relevant professional experience, including project management responsibility within a full-service architecture firm.
  • Demonstrated experience managing multifamily and mixed-use architectural projects.
  • Proven experience preparing project proposals and defining scope, fees, budgets, schedules, staffing, and consultant requirements.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Architecture or a related field.
  • Strong working knowledge of architectural project delivery, detailing, construction documentation, building codes, permitting, and construction administration.
  • Proven ability to manage project financials, deadlines, competing priorities, and multiple stakeholder groups.
  • A successful track record of leading internal teams and coordinating external consultants.
  • Strong client-facing communication, presentation, negotiation, and relationship-management skills.
  • Collaborative leadership skills and a genuine interest in mentoring and developing others.
  • Proficiency with relevant architectural design, documentation, and project-management tools.
