About Us

The Developer Collective (TDC) is a private, invitation-only community for real estate developers, builders, investors, and industry professionals throughout Tampa Bay. We focus on high-level collaboration, education, networking, and supporting the next generation of development leaders.

We are looking for a Part-Time Community, Marketing & Events Manager to support the CEO behind the scenes and help run the operational, marketing, and event components of the TDC experience.

The CEO is the face of the organization—you will be the operations and marketing engine that keeps everything running smoothly.

Position Overview

This is a part-time, contract position (~20 hours/week) ideal for someone who is highly organized, social, detail-oriented, and excited about the real estate development industry. This role combines community management, event planning, light marketing, social media, and member support.

You’ll help execute two monthly events, coordinate quarterly developer networking events, strengthen the community experience, manage social media presence, assist with membership growth, and support communication across the organization.

A support/admin employee will assist with invoicing, CRM entry, marketing materials, and onboarding tasks so you can focus on events, engagement, and marketing.
