Who We Are

We are a leading consultancy specializing in New York City Building Code and Zoning Law, partnering with major developers, architects, and property owners to navigate complex regulatory requirements. Our team drives mission-critical projects from initial planning through approvals and final execution, ensuring safety, compliance, and excellence every step of the way.

Who You Are

The Senior Project Manager leads high-visibility, multi-million-dollar building code and zoning initiatives. This fully remote role requires periodic travel to our New York City headquarters—approximately 10 trips per year—for key meetings, project milestones, and on-site inspections.  You will oversee the full lifecycle of large alteration and development projects—strategizing with clients, liaising with the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB), and directing cross-functional teams. You will serve as a trusted advisor to both clients and internal leadership, setting timelines, allocating resources, and mitigating risk on projects with citywide impact.

What You'll Do

• Provide executive-level project management across a diverse portfolio of complex building code and zoning projects.
• Coordinate directly with clients, architects, engineers, and the DOB to secure timely approvals and resolve issues.
• Review and sign off on plans to ensure strict compliance with NYC building codes and zoning regulations.
• Lead research and retrieval of critical records from multiple NYC agencies to support project objectives.
• Mentor and guide junior project managers and coordinators, fostering a culture of accountability and professional growth.
• Develop and manage budgets, schedules, and resource plans; report progress to senior leadership and stakeholders.
• Travel to the NYC headquarters or project sites at least 10 times per year for key meetings and inspections.

What You Bring

• Required Certification: Active Class 2 DOB Filing Representative ID (Code & Zoning Representative) issued by the New York City Department of Buildings.
• Proven record of leading large, complex projects and teams to successful completion.
• Exceptional communication, negotiation, and stakeholder-management skills.
• High proficiency with Windows applications, Bluebeam, MS Excel, SharePoint, Outlook, and Word.
• Strong organizational and analytical abilities with acute attention to detail.
• Management experience strongly preferred; experience mentoring or supervising staff is a plus.
• Familiarity with DOBNOW and deep knowledge of NYC building codes and expediting processes.
• Potential management of a dedicated project team, including conducting performance reviews, handling disciplinary actions, and overseeing interviewing, onboarding, and offboarding processes.

What We Offer

• Salary range: $177,000 – $200,000 annually, plus performance-based bonuses.
• Comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, life, and LTD insurance.
