Employment Type: Full-Time | Executive Leadership
About us
We are a growing real estate and construction group operating across development,
construction, and investment activities in South Florida. Over the past 10 years, the group has completed more than 10 projects and currently has 6 active projects under development and construction.
The group currently manages over $30M in assets under management (AUM) and is supported by a
team of 18 professionals across construction, operations, finance, and development.
Our companies combine high-end construction execution with entrepreneurial real estate development, managing projects from acquisition and financing through construction and final delivery.
This is not a traditional corporate environment. We operate with a hands-on, fast-moving mindset where execution, adaptability, and ownership matter as much as technical expertise.

This position is ideal for a finance leader with strong entrepreneurial instincts, experience in real estate development and construction, and the ambition to potentially grow into a broader leadership over time.
