Acting as a senior representative of the family office, you will manage stakeholder engagement with local authorities, professional advisors, and external partners, while providing clear reporting to senior leadership and investment committees. You will also champion sustainability, health and safety, and continuous improvement, ensuring every project reflects the organisation’s commitment to excellence and precision.
