• Relationship Management: Serve as the primary account manager for key MENA partners, managing performance, optimizing referral structures, and ensuring seamless client onboarding.
• Market Insights: Track UK real estate market trends (especially Manchester and North West developments) and competitor strategies within the MENA investment corridor.
