We handle projects from beginning to end, including representing the developers of smaller projects who sometimes need intervention at critical points in the entitlement process. We assist clients in structuring entitlements and the timing and financing of infrastructure investments to meet their underlying business strategies. When development by others has the potential to harm our clients’ interests, we have the expertise to intervene to prevent or eliminate that harm.

CompensationPay Scale: The reasonably expected pay scale for this position is $225-255k, with bonus potential of up to $106,000. This is an employer estimate and the salary offered within that range, and the potential for bonus and bonus amount, will depend on candidate’s years of practice and experience and performance.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
