• Ensure project activities remain aligned with the company's commercial objectives, approved budgets and investment strategies.

• Ability to work independently, exercise sound commercial judgement and report effectively to senior management.

Desirable Experience

• Previous experience in property investment, real estate development, asset management or investment advisory.
• Experience coordinating external consultants, professional advisers and financial institutions.
• Knowledge of investment feasibility studies, financial modelling and project cost planning.
• Familiarity with residential refurbishment, property conversion or hospitality-related investment projects.
• Professional project management qualifications such as PRINCE2, PMP or equivalent.
