Ori Inc is seeking a project manager with a passion for urban environments and technological innovation. An attractive candidate will be able to demonstrate experience working in the development, design, construction or operation of residential housing, ideally in the multifamily sector. This is a role that requires working with multiple stakeholders and across functional areas to ensure project execution excellence and operational efficiency. A project manager must organize and synthesize multiple data and work streams from multiple sources including client, designer, contractor, owner, leasing agent and internal teams. This role requires an understanding of the construction and housing industry, particularly the lifecycles and players involved, and a passion to become an expert in the field.
Success in this role will result in the efficient and timely implementation of Ori products in multifamily and single-family residences throughout the nation. Key duties include client and contractor coordination, scheduling, training, database management and nurturing relationships. A vital aspect of this role is collecting and managing the efficient distribution of information and project-related data, and implementing improved operational processes to support growth.
