Formed through the merger of AvalonBay Communities and Equity Residential, Vivmark brings together two industry leaders with a shared commitment to excellence, innovation, and delivering exceptional living experiences. Our vision is to be the most trusted and best-performing rental housing company in America - one that continues to get better as it grows. And we're looking for people who want to help us do it.
As an owner, developer, and manager of more than 180,000 apartment homes in major markets across the US, we have the scale to offer something most companies can't. At Vivmark, team members move up and across functions, markets, and disciplines, building lasting careers. We invest in team members' growth, development, and capabilities that make them and us better, and we hold ourselves to the highest standard as an employer.
The best people want to work here. We hope you're one of them.

At Vivmark Residential, we create communities that enhance lives and shape the future of multifamily housing. We're seeking a strategic, entrepreneurial Senior Director of Development to lead the sourcing, planning, entitlement, and execution of multifamily and mixed-use development projects from initial pursuit through stabilization.
This is an opportunity for an experienced real estate development professional who thrives in complex environments, enjoys building relationships both inside and outside the organization, and has a track record of successfully bringing projects from concept to completion.

Identifying and pursuing new development opportunities within target markets
Evaluating project feasibility, including financial analysis, entitlement considerations, market dynamics, environmental factors, and overall investment viability
Leading development projects through planning, entitlement, design, approvals, construction, and stabilization
Preparing and presenting investment recommendations to senior leadership and approval committees
Building productive relationships with municipalities, elected officials, consultants, landowners, community stakeholders, and industry partners
Leading cross-functional teams consisting of Development, Construction, Design, Asset Management, Operations, and other internal partners
Negotiating with landowners, consultants, and external partners to advance project objectives
Managing project budgets, schedules, consultants, and development risks
Representing Vivmark Residential at public meetings, community forums, and industry events.
What We're Looking For:
Successful candidates will bring a combination of development expertise, business acumen, and leadership capability.
Preferred qualifications include:
Bachelor's degree required
MBA, Master's in Real Estate Development, or a related advanced degree preferred
10+ years of progressively responsible real estate development experience
Proven experience managing multifamily, mixed-use, or large-scale commercial development projects
Strong financial modeling and investment analysis skills
Demonstrated success navigating entitlement processes and public approvals
Exceptional relationship-building, negotiation, and communication skills
Ability to work effectively with senior leaders, external stakeholders, and cross-functional teams
