• Coordinate stakeholders and communications, acting as the key link between the client, landlord, developer, contractors, consultants, and professional teams to drive alignment and resolve issues proactively.
• Provide governance and reporting, producing progress updates, managing project documentation, identifying risks, mitigating delays, and ensuring successful project completion and aftercare support.

This Role Is For You If
