THE OPPORTUNITY
Were representing a premier luxury custom home builder operating in Paradise Valley and the greater Phoenix market. This team builds architecturally significant, high-dollar estates for discerning clients who expect precision, discretion, and excellence at every level.
This is not a production role.
This is not entry-level luxury.
This is for a Project Manager who knows how to run complex, multi-million-dollar custom homes without hand-holding — someone who commands respect on site, owns the numbers, and protects the client experience from groundbreaking to keys-in-hand.
If you take pride in flawless execution, tight schedules, and clean financials — keep reading.
WHAT YOULL OWN
You will operate as the central force behind each project — driving communication, budget control, scheduling precision, and execution strategy.
- Lead $5M–$20M+ luxury custom homes from preconstruction through closeout
- Own budgets, forecasts, change orders, and cost control without surprises
- Drive master schedules using Microsoft Project — and hold teams accountable to them
- Partner directly with Superintendents to maintain field excellence
- Lead constructability reviews and early-stage cost strategy
- Run subcontractor bidding, leveling, and contract coordination
- Protect quality standards worthy of magazine-level custom builds
- Manage high-touch homeowner communication with confidence and authority
- Navigate municipalities, consultants, and utilities without drama
WHO THIS IS FOR
- 3-5+ years running true luxury custom homes (not production, not semi-custom)
- Deep understanding of high-end residential sequencing and finishes
- Comfortable managing demanding clients and elite design teams
- Financially sharp — you know your numbers at all times
- Strong with Microsoft Project and Excel
- Able to read plans like a second language
- Calm under pressure, direct in communication, decisive in action
MINDSET REQUIRED
- You dont wait to be told what to do
- You solve problems before they escalate
- You protect the brand like its your own
- You expect excellence from trades — and get it
- You operate with autonomy and accountability
This builder values strong operators. You will have freedom — but you will also be expected to perform at a high level consistently.
If you've built estates in Paradise Valley or similar high-end markets and you're ready to align with a builder that respects experience and rewards performance, this is worth a conversation.
