Calgary, Canada Strategic Group Full time

Strategic Group owns and develops office, retail, and residential properties across Canada. Beyond real estate, we own business in construction, building services, oilfield services, hospitality, pet care, agriculture, technology, and corporate finance.
Strategic Group has an exciting opportunity for a Development Manager.
Strategic Group is one of the most innovative and unconventional developers in Canada and a leader in office to residential conversions. This means the job is never the same every day and there are opportunities to implement new ideas most of the industry has yet to explore.
The Development Team is expected to grow in the next few years with an anticipated volume of construction at any one-time of 1000 residential units. This allows for advancement for team members looking for new challenges. The business strategy involves quick decision making and removing the bureaucracy so team members can focus on managing their jobs rather than writing long reports and waiting for approvals.

Your goal is to use your people and management skills to create successful delivery of projects. You want to use creativity, innovation, and collaboration to bring forward strategies that will maximize value.
