The client is a leading technology company and is our fastest‑growing, most innovative client for the EMEA region.

• Proactively identify and manage risks throughout the project lifecycle and communicate and report project issues, health status and action plans to holistically de‑risk projects.
• Drive projects at tactical and operational levels, with a helicopter view, and communicate to create relationships in a solution‑oriented, “one‑team” approach to de‑risk all projects.
• Collaborate with RE&FM’s and senior‑level clients across the business lines to interpret business needs into a Project Charter (customer brief).
• Ensure all necessary internal and external project approvals are sought and governance processes are followed (including Project charter, spend and transaction approvals, design authority approvals, procurement approvals, legal approvals, landlord lease compliance activities, wayleaves, building licences and occupation licences).
• All additional duties commensurate to the level of the role.

• Graduated or holding a professional qualification in Construction, Engineering or Architecture.
• A minimum of 8 years’ experience delivering complex commercial fit‑outs in a corporate/international environment.
• Leadership – Ability to manage and influence a high‑performing team (in‑location and virtual).
• Proactive communicator – Able to work within an entrepreneurial culture, delivering solutions and leading with effective communication to anticipate, mitigate and de‑risk.
• Ability to see the larger picture – Simultaneously act as a program manager, CRE ambassador, educator, analyst and solutions architect on multiple projects.
• Biased for action – Flexible and agile, able to work effectively in an ambiguous environment and think outside the box for risk‑based solutions.
• Ownership and accountability – Expert in project management, financial rigor and value engineering throughout the project process; prioritise schedule, work backwards from customer requirements to de‑risk key deliverables and processes on the critical path within an evolving governance structure.
• Curious and eager to learn – Ask questions, recognise limitations, challenge or disagree and commit.
• Self‑driven and motivator – Leads, initiates and proactively drives stakeholders as one‑team to meet deliverables and timelines.
• Excellent organisational skills – Prioritise workload daily to work smartly, not hard.
• Ability to draft, analyse and select the most appropriate project procurement strategy.
• Expert in analysing and managing all project stakeholders (internal and external) throughout the lifecycle to deliver required results; win the trust and cooperation of key stakeholders.
• Passionate about office design and workplace strategy; well‑versed in current trends and innovations.
