• Managing contractors, consultants and supplier performance to deliver value, quality and timely completion
• Monitoring project budgets, forecasts, critical paths and emerging risks
• Strengthening governance and reporting across the wider investment portfolio

• Commercial confidence across tendering, contract negotiation, cost control and supplier management
• Experience working within live operational estates, ideally in leisure, hospitality, sports, entertainment, retail or heritage environments
