Job Description

The Massachusetts Port Authority is Going Above and Beyond™ for your career. We are a dynamic organization that connects people and businesses to the global community by air, land, and sea. Our employees are essential in moving planes, cargo, and cruise ships safely, efficiently, and sustainably. We are an economic engine, managing real estate assets where people live, work, and play. Together, the properties we own and operate generate $20 billion for the region’s economy.

Massport’s Real Estate and Asset Management (REAM) team is responsible for developing and managing a diverse portfolio, which includes commercial and maritime assets on approximately 450 acres in East Boston, Charlestown, and South Boston. REAM oversees more than 10 million square feet of built assets, ranging from office buildings, hotels, and residential projects to seafood processing plants, shipyards, and marinas. These projects are often built in partnership with private development teams under long-term ground leases. The team is heavily involved in urban and infrastructure planning, architectural design review, place-making and activation programming, and sustainability and resiliency planning and policy as well as the business side of managing tenant leases and relationships. This work requires extensive coordination and collaboration with the city, state, and federal agencies and non-profit organizations. Three broad priorities drive REAM’s work: generating a sustained revenue stream for Massport to invest in port terminals and support port operations, stimulating economic development and job growth, and creating inviting waterfront communities and spaces. One of our recent initiatives is exploring opportunities and partnerships for Massport to support the growth of “blue economy”, or marine-related, innovative businesses in Boston Harbor.

What you offer:

  • Bachelor’s degree in real estate, business administration, architecture/planning, public administration, or a related field required; Master’s degree or advanced professional degree preferred.
  • 15+ years of progressive leadership experience overseeing complex real estate development, master planning, asset management, or related initiatives, with a proven track record of managing large-scale projects, guiding multidisciplinary teams, and driving strategic planning, policy development, and project execution.

  • Deep expertise in real estate development, finance, and market analysis, including land use planning, development entitlements, valuation, feasibility analysis, environmental review processes, and regulatory frameworks. Demonstrated ability to evaluate complex opportunities, assess risk, and support informed investment and development decisions.
  • Exceptional leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build consensus, influence decision-making, and foster collaboration among executive leaders, public agencies, private-sector partners, and community stakeholders. A strong understanding of, and appreciation for, the evolving real estate, planning, and policy landscape of Boston and its waterfront communities is a plus.
