Project Manager

Company Description: Pegasus Development is an owner's representative and development advisory firm safeguarding more than $7.5B in portfolio value across hospitality, entertainment, gaming, mixed-use, multifamily, and civic and stadium projects. We serve owners, principals, lenders, and governing bodies as an unconflicted fiduciary advisor. We hold no financial interest in the contracts, equipment, or materials we oversee. Our value is judgment, discipline, and accountability. We are hiring a Project Manager for our Las Vegas headquarters to support projects across the portfolio. This is a cross-portfolio role. You will move between asset types and client engagements as the work demands. Role Description You will act as an extension of client leadership across the full project lifecycle, with particular emphasis on pre-development, planning, cost estimating, pre-construction, and design phase. You will report project position with precision and recommend the action each variance requires, then carry that discipline forward through construction and closeout. This is not a coordination role that waits for direction. It is an ownership role that sets it. Responsibilities Manage cost, schedule, and change across assigned projects. Reconcile every variance to a source. Enforce design and pricing discipline. Police scope against the owner's intent, not the vendor's convenience. Track critical path and milestone health. Surface float erosion and recovery levers before they become decisions. Maintain the risk register and drive mitigation to close, assigned to an owner and a date. Verify contractor and consultant deliverables against contract terms. Challenge what does not reconcile. Produce reporting to institutional standard for owners, lenders, and governing bodies. Coordinate stakeholders and hold decision velocity: RFI and submittal turnaround, decision log latency. Represent Pegasus in the field and in the room with professionalism and the confidence the fiduciary posture requires. Ability to track and follow-up on action items independently and with tenacity. Professionalism in Client-facing meetings and presentations. Proficiency in bid leveling/Contractor buyout, analyzing scope gaps and negotiating cost estimates. Support early-phase planning, budgeting, feasibility, and design coordination efforts. Qualifications Bachelor's degree in construction management, engineering, architecture, real estate, or a related field. Direct project management experience on complex vertical construction. We are open on tenure. Candidates from mid-level through senior will be considered on the strength of the work. Command of project controls: cost management, scheduling, and change management systems. Fluency in contract structure and the discipline to enforce it. Clear, direct written and verbal communication. You lead with the conclusion. Willingness to travel to project sites across the portfolio in NV, CA, and NY. Proficiency in Excel and navigating Construction Drawings and Specs. Organized, detail-oriented, and strong document control and project control fundamentals. Demonstrate professional etiquette and executive presence in client-facing meetings and presentations. Preferred Owner's representative or development advisory background. Experience across more than one asset type: hospitality, sports, entertainment, gaming, mixed-use, or civic and stadium. PMP, or professional licensure in a relevant discipline. Experience reporting to institutional lenders or governing bodies. Why Pegasus We are unconflicted by design. We answer to the owner and no one else. That independence sets the standard for the work and the people we hire to do it. You will hold real accountability early, work directly with principals, and build a portfolio of consequence across five decades of firm discipline. Building Vision. Crafting Legacy. Pegasus Development is an equal opportunity employer. #J-18808-Ljbffr
