Project Coordinator – Real Estate Development
Location: Remote (India)Salary range: $1,600-2,200/month USDEmployment Type: Full-Time via consulting agreementWe're building something rare:A master-planned residential community rooted in health, sustainability, and soul.At Sanctuary, we're building a new standard of living. Our first development in the Texas Hill Country spans 100+ lots across 100 acres of preserved nature, designed with wellness-first infrastructure: clean water, non-toxic materials, EMF-conscious design, and thoughtful amenities that bring people together.We're a US-based real estate development company with an international team of 20+ people across Austin, India, and Europe: architects, engineers, developers, creatives, operators. We move fast, and we build smart - from design systems to permitting to capital raising to a homebuying experience that feels like Shopify, not spreadsheets.This role is for the architect who never wanted to stay in just one lane.You studied architecture (or engineering), and you can talk shop when it comes to real-world design execution: materials, specifications, MEP coordination, 2D/3D workflows, and the details that actually make a house work.But you've also got range. You're curious about the business side. You've touched marketing, sales, land acquisition, maybe even permitting or capital planning. You ask good questions. You notice problems and actually fix them. And you're hungry to do work that matters.You'll work alongside one of our strongest operators, Riju - an architect who now drives projects across legal, sales, marketing, land, design, and operations. You'll become her right hand and eventually grow into a systems-owning, decision-making, truly irreplaceable team member.What you'll work onYou won't be stuck in architecture, but you'll need to speak its language fluently. Your projects might include:
  • Assisting with buyer contracts, sales workflows, and pre-sale coordination
  • Coordinating across architecture, engineering, legal, and land teams to keep plans aligned
  • Building internal systems for pricing, upgrades, and home packages
  • Supporting permitting processes and researching regulatory nuances
  • Digging into spreadsheets, specs, or land docs to spot and fix inconsistencies
  • Helping build a smooth, scalable homebuyer experience (yes, there's tech involved)
  • Owning and improving small, critical workflows without being asked
This is a startup role. Some days you'll be on Zoom solving design bottlenecks. Other days you'll be knee-deep in buyer emails, file structures, or financial docs. You'll need patience, flexibility, and a genuine love for learning new things.Must-Haves (Non-Negotiable)✔ Degree in Architecture or Civil Engineering✔ Hands-on experience in real estate development, construction, AND early-stage startups✔ Ability to read and work with architectural and engineering drawings✔ Fluency in the design process: coordination, constraints, and real-world trade-offs✔ Clear, confident communicator who asks good questions and follows through✔ Comfortable managing ambiguity and learning fast in a remote environmentNice-to-HavesInternships or side projects in marketing, research, ops, or techExposure to permitting, sales, legal, or capital raising workflowsPrior experience working with US-based teams or clientsHigh comfort with Google Sheets, ClickUp, and research toolsA track record of saying “I'll figure it out” - and then doing itWe don't care about years of experience.
