Job Description

Job Description
Real Estate Development Associate
Commercial Real Estate Development & Construction

Memphis, Tennessee

Are you a construction or real estate professional looking to move from project execution into the ownership side of commercial real estate?
A highly respected Memphis-based family office is seeking a Real Estate Associate to support acquisitions, development projects, construction management, site selection, and portfolio initiatives across a multi-state real estate platform.

This is a unique opportunity to work directly with senior leadership and gain exposure to the full lifecycle of commercial real estate ownership, including acquisitions, development, leasing, construction, and long-term portfolio strategy.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Direct mentorship from an experienced Real Estate Director
Exposure to acquisitions, site selection, due diligence, development, and construction
Opportunity to represent ownership on significant commercial projects
Diverse portfolio spanning approximately 60 operating locations
Strong pipeline of new development, expansion, and facility improvement projects
High visibility with executive leadership and ownership
Career path into broader real estate, development, and portfolio management responsibilities
What You'll Be Doing
  • Support real estate acquisitions, lease transactions, renewals, and development initiatives
  • Assist with site selection, feasibility reviews, and property evaluations
  • Coordinate consultants, contractors, architects, engineers, and development partners
  • Monitor project schedules, budgets, pay applications, and change orders
  • Participate in due diligence activities including environmental, survey, entitlement, and site investigations
  • Conduct site visits and construction progress reviews
  • Help manage projects from concept through completion
  • Support portfolio planning, facility initiatives, and strategic real estate projects
  • Serve as an extension of ownership while helping ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget

What We're Looking For
  • Approximately 3-7 years of experience in construction, development, project management, corporate real estate, or related fields
  • Ground-up commercial, industrial, site development, or similar project experience preferred
  • Experience working with contractors, consultants, schedules, budgets, and project documentation
  • Strong organizational, analytical, and communication skills
  • Comfortable working independently and managing multiple priorities
  • Proficiency with Excel and construction project management software
  • Ability to travel as projects require

The Ideal Candidate
The successful candidate will be equally comfortable in the conference room and on an active construction site.
We're seeking a professional who is:
  • Naturally curious
  • Detail-oriented
  • Organized
  • Analytical
  • Comfortable asking questions
  • Confident working with contractors and consultants
  • Interested in learning how real estate owners evaluate and execute projects

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious construction, development, or project management professional seeking broader exposure and long-term career growth on the ownership side of commercial real estate.
