The Client requires the placement of a Senior Project Manager (SPM) to serve as the key interface link between the Client (RCU’s Development teams) and Third-Party Developers (TPD). This role is focused on process coordination, workflow mapping, and issue resolution to ensure smooth interactions across the ecosystem.

• Stakeholder Communication: Maintain clear and regular communication with key stakeholders, including client’s management, Third-Party Developers, D&C (RIBA 0&1 Commercial and Business Case), RCU Security, regulatory authorities, and other relevant parties.
• Collaboration and Relationship Management: Success is dependent on the facilitation of close collaboration between the Client and Third-Party Developers to achieve a mutually agreed outcome and agreement.
• Project Governance & Guidelines: Implement the Client requirements to ensure the Third-Party has clarity of the workflow process and deliverable requirements.
• Project Planning (limited): In consultation with RCU’s Development teams, develop initial project plans, project scope, objectives, timelines, milestones, and resource requirements.
