• Drive regulatory, process and ecosystem “unlocks” in collaboration with public and private stakeholders.
• Influence senior decision-makers to align priorities and secure commitments.
• Own KPIs, financial modeling inputs, governance, sequencing and risk mitigation.
• Ensure initiatives are delivered on time, within scope and aligned to strategic objectives.
• Lead cross-functional teams with strong operational discipline.

The Ideal Candidate Represents:

• 7–11 years of experience delivering complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives across public and/or private sectors.
• Background in strategy, consulting, financial services, real estate, or economic development.
• Strong commercial acumen and ability to model targets, KPIs and impact drivers.
• Professional certification (PMP, PRINCE2 or equivalent) preferred.
• Strategic thinker with a strong operational mindset.
• Confident influencing senior stakeholders across sectors.
• Agile, execution-focused, and comfortable in fast-paced environments.
