Job Summary
An established and growing commercial real estate development firm is seeking an Associate Development Manager for a full-time, on-site direct hire opportunity in Charleston, SC. This role is ideal for a commercial real estate professional who wants hands-on exposure to the full retail development lifecycle, including site selection, due diligence, entitlements, contract coordination, construction oversight, and project completion.

- Source and evaluate development opportunities using demographic, traffic, zoning, market, and feasibility analysis.
- Coordinate LOIs, purchase agreements, development contracts, easements, due diligence reports, entitlement documentation, and approval packages.
- Collaborate with engineers, architects, contractors, consultants, municipalities, brokers, landowners, and retail clients throughout the development process.
- Monitor construction progress, budgets, schedules, timelines, project risks, and issue resolution to keep projects moving forward.
- Conduct market research to identify new commercial development opportunities across the Southeast.
Compensation and Benefits
- Salary range: $80,000 to $100,000 per year.
