As the contract owner, you will interface with property developers and partners on technical, commercial and legal negotiations as well as ensuring adherence to contractual obligations and commitments. The role will be the single point of escalation for multiple internal stakeholders, technical teams, legal, and finance to resolve conflicts and set expectations.
