  • Strong negotiation and communication skills.
  • Familiarity with zoning, land use regulations, and market dynamics in the target geographies (California primarily, and Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Oregon and Utah secondarily) in order to assist in navigating complex entitlement processes.
  • Proficiency in MS Office and Google Suite, with experience in project management and real estate software a plus.
  • Ability to travel up to 25%.
