About the Company

 

At Flow, we’re reimagining what it means to live, work, and connect. More than just a real estate company, Flow is a brand, a technology platform, and an operations ecosystem spanning condominiums, hotels, multifamily residences, and office spaces. We’re building a new kind of living experience: one that’s flexible, connected, and designed to create genuine community and real value for the people who call Flow home.

 

Our mission is oneness: prioritizing our residents and their experiences, and fostering connection with ourselves, their neighbors, and the natural world. By putting people at the center of everything we do, we’re creating vibrant, human-centered communities where life, work, creativity, and play all come together in one place.

About the Role

The Senior Project Manager owns the end-to-end delivery of assigned Flow developments — driving each project across its full lifecycle (Concept → Design Development → GFC Documentation → FF&E Selection → Site Execution → Handover) on scope, schedule, budget, and brand. As the single point of accountability for every assigned project, this role orchestrates cross-discipline delivery across architecture, interior design, structural engineering, MEP, and landscape, while coordinating consultants, contractors, and internal design teams. The Senior Project Manager covers Flow's full project taxonomy—ground-up developments, conversion projects, third-party standard conversions, and tenant improvements/fit-out and reports to the Head of Design Management. This person sets the delivery cadence, governs change and risk, mentors Project Managers, and holds a zero-tolerance line on uncontrolled changes and undocumented decisions.

Responsibilities

• Drive end-to-end project delivery across the full lifecycle from Concept through Handover

• Own project scope, schedule, and budget baselines; monitor and forecast against them throughout delivery

• Lead cross-discipline coordination across architecture, interior design, structural, MEP, and landscape teams, resolving interfaces before they reach site

• Establish and govern the project delivery cadence — programmes, milestones, gateway reviews, and action-log discipline

• Manage consultants and contractors against scope and contract obligations; review deliverables for brand and technical compliance

• Govern change and variation — ensure every change is documented, approved, and cost-aligned

• Identify project risks early, maintain the risk register, and drive documented mitigation with department leads

• Manage the RFI/submittal cycle, enforcing turnaround SLAs and keeping documentation under version control

• Report project health — cost, schedule, risk, and quality — to the Head of Design Management on a defined cadence

• Coordinate seamless project handover with complete as-built and FM documentation at close-out

• Mentor and review the work of Project Managers, raising delivery discipline across the team

• Support development feasibility, procurement strategy, and consultant appointments in partnership with EQS, procurement, and development teams

Ideal Background

• Bachelor's or Master's in Architecture, Engineering, Construction Management, or a related built-environment discipline; PMP, PRINCE2, or RICS certification strongly preferred

• 10–15+ years of experience in project management on mid- to large-scale real estate development projects

• Background at a real estate developer, project management consultancy, or tier-one contracting or consulting firm, with direct exposure to design-through-delivery project management

• Proven end-to-end delivery of at least 5 mid-to-large real estate projects across ground-up, conversion, and fit-out types

• Strong cross-discipline coordination experience across architecture, interior design, structural, MEP, and landscape

• Commercial fluency—budgets, procurement, cost control, variations, and claims awareness

• Exposure to multiple markets and regulatory environments, US and/or MENA preferred

• Working knowledge of FIDIC/AIA contracts

• Proficiency in Primavera P6 or MS Project, Procore or equivalent CDE platform, Bluebeam Revu, AutoCAD, and Revit (review level)

• Comfortable leading and holding accountable consultants, contractors, and internal design teams
