What are the responsibilities and job description for the Project Manager - Residential Construction position at Sanctuary?
Location: Remote (India) initially → potential relocation to Austin, Texas (Visa sponsorship included)
About us
We’re real estate developers building something rare - healthy, sustainable residential communities where thoughtful design and strong community come together.
We’re hands-on builders first, and we’re expanding fast. We need a versatile, sharp, and action-driven Project Manager to help lead the coordination and execution of our first large-scale sanctuary development - 100 homes outside Austin, Texas, with more in the pipeline.
If you’re passionate about delivering high-quality residential projects, crave real ownership, and dream of taking your career global - this role is built for you.
Why this role is different:
Start Remote. Lead Big. You’ll initially work closely with our Director of Product and Construction team remotely, helping drive design coordination, contractor communication, and schedule management.
Relocate to the U.S. Top performers will have the opportunity for company-sponsored relocation to Austin, Texas for 12 months, to be on-site leading construction during critical phases.
What You’ll Own
- Support end-to-end management of residential construction - from pre-construction planning through to delivery
- Coordinate across internal product, design, and field teams external vendors and contractors
- Manage construction schedules, RFIs, procurement tracking, and on-site logistics (remotely first, on-site later)
- Identify risks early and propose solutions - keep the momentum strong
- Develop operational playbooks for future construction rollouts across the US.
What you bring:
-
5–10 years of proven experience successfully managing residential construction projects from start to finish.
-
Hands-on expertise in site coordination, construction sequencing, vendor negotiation, field troubleshooting, and navigating real-world project challenges.
-
Relentless resourcefulness: If a vendor quotes $20k, you negotiate it down to $17k without compromising quality. If they say delivery will take 3 months, you find a way to make it happen in 1-2. You consistently create better outcomes by thinking two steps ahead.
-
Strong communication skills in English — both written and spoken — with the ability to coordinate clearly across teams, vendors, and leadership.
-
Highly organized, self-motivated, and proactive — you thrive in a remote environment without the need for hand-holding.
Why Join Us
- Visa sponsorship and relocation to the U.S. after initial ramp-up period
- Remote-first culture — we measure outcomes, not hours
- Leadership path — grow into a Site Director or Construction Operations Lead
- Work with an ambitious, design-forward, and mission-driven team
- Build real communities, not just structures
