Our business is focused on making real estate more valuable. But for us, it’s more than that. It’s people first, community always. It’s a life-filled career, not just a career-filled life. It’s doing good work, with good humans, and making a difference. It’s excellence in all its forms. Ultimately, we create great places to work, live, and grow. We do that by focusing on leaving people – and places – better than we found them.
Whew! Still with us? Cool. Let’s talk about where you’d fit in:

This is a Project Manager role at the Manager level within the Enterprise Transformation Team.
LivCor is growing in multiple ways: team size, portfolio size, asset variety, operational ownership, operator count and structure. Each adds different demands on the business. Most importantly, the combination increases the complexity of executing enterprise-wide initiatives.
To help projects gain traction while competing with other demands for internal and external resources (e.g. operator), LivCor has created an Enterprise Transformation Team (ETT). ETT governs LivCor’s business facing project management practices, executes large enterprise-wide initiatives, and facilitates value add transformation.
Most importantly, ETT leads by example, moving initiatives forward in collaboration with all teams, using a customer service model. Success in this role will require a high level of flexibility and partnership with all areas of the business.
As a Manager in Project Management, you will determine project goals, needs, scope, timelines, and budgets. You will also plan, monitor, and document tasks for your projects, while ensuring deliverables are on time. A Manager in Project Management manages resources necessary for execution. You will foster collaboration and communication with stakeholders, including senior leadership. You will recommend, oversee, and coordinate with the project team to complete tasks, ensuring timely communications and project delivery while identifying and guiding the team in mitigating risks and blockers.
What You Will Do
As a Manager in Project Management, you will regularly apply the following skills, among others:
We know that if we take care of our team everything else will fall into place. We aren’t perfect, but we will try to set very clear expectations, always let you know where you stand, and do everything in our power to help you get where you want to go.
Our culture and values matter to us. A lot. We’re definitely not serious but we take this stuff seriously, if you get what we mean. We want a place that is an ego-free zone. A place where good people do good things together. It shouldn’t be rocket science in workplaces, but for some reason it still is? We’re absolutely determined to be different, and we think we’re doing a pretty good job at it. We have a CEO who makes fun of himself, and who will encourage you to tell him when he is wrong. In fact, he needs people to – we all do. Supportive challenge is good, it’s how we get better. We like getting better. We also love diversity, of all kinds. We need people who look, sound, speak, love, and exist differently from one another. This isn’t at the end of this paragraph because it’s an afterthought. It’s SO important to us we want it to stand out.
Right. On to the technical stuff that we know matters to you. We offer competitive pay that is commensurate with the market and relevant experience, and a full slate of benefits that even includes things like paid parental leave.
If any of this sounds interesting, then maybe we are a fit. Life is too short to work with people you don’t like. So whatever you do, don’t make that mistake.
The LivCorian Values
Be you. Be Real. Be Open. You do you. Together, we will do something amazing. Care, Always. We don’t want to let anyone down. Courageously Curious. We love to learn, even when it hurts. Help Others Win, Be A Good Neighbor. This is about ‘We, not Me.’ Relentless Hustle, Heart & Humility. Work hard. Be Kind. Make Better.
