About this role
Century Communities is seeking a Land Acquisition Manager to drive its residential development pipeline in Jacksonville. You'll identify and evaluate land opportunities across the region by networking with brokers, developers, municipalities, and landowners, then conduct thorough underwriting and due diligence to assess deal viability.
