What You’ll Be Doing: 

• Own end-to-end vision and execution for large-scale development projects, from site selection, due diligence, design, entitlement, and approvals through construction readiness and delivery preparation.
• Translate NVIDIA’s business goals into clear development strategies, action plans, schedules, risk mitigation approaches, and defensible documentation.
• Lead site, land, entitlement, regulatory, permitting, and approval pathways while balancing AHJ requirements, business priorities, and project constraints.
• Serve as the primary interface with government bodies, municipalities, agencies, utilities, and other approval authorities; shape submission, negotiation, and approval strategies.
• Identify, engage, and coordinate specialized consultants and SMEs across entitlement, environmental, legal, engineering, permitting, architecture, PM, and CM functions.
• Partner with architects, engineers, external PM/CM teams, and internal collaborators to maintain alignment with development intent, scope, dependencies, and delivery objectives.
• Establish strong program governance, including status tracking, risk management, decision documentation, collaborator commitments, and executive-ready reporting.
• Provide leadership with clear tradeoff analysis, recommendations, key risks, dependencies, and action-oriented decision materials.

What We Need To See: 

• Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, Real Estate Development, Urban Planning, Construction Management, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience). 
• 15+ years of experience in real estate development and capital projects delivery with direct responsibility for approvals/entitlements including 8+ years of management experience with direct responsibility for approvals/entitlements and coordination among multiple parties.
• Demonstrated experience leading large-scale, complex developments in Taiwan (or deeply comparable regulatory environment), including AHJ interface and negotiation. 
• Proven ability to manage consultants and cross-functional collaborators, getting results through influence and structured governance. 
• Experience with enterprise / tech / critical workplace or campus developments. 
• Track record delivering complex programs across multiple authorities and jurisdictions. 
• Familiarity with procurement/vendor management, contracting, and scope definition for specialist services. 
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and building structure where processes are not yet established. 

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd: 

• Master’s degree in Real Estate Development (MRED), Business (MBA), or Architecture (MARCH). 
• Delivered large tech campus development 
• Outstanding ability to navigate regulatory environments 
• Proven expertise in managing high-stakes projects with multiple collaborators
