Engage confidently with the client’s Corporate Real Estate, Workplace, Facilities, IT, Security, HR, Procurement and Finance teams, including regional and global stakeholders across time zones.
Translate business and workplace requirements into a clear project brief, scope and success criteria; manage landlord and building-management interfaces, fit-out guidelines and approvals.
Prepare and present concise, executive-level reports and steering-committee papers; organise and chair project meetings, issue minutes and drive actions to closure.
